Blogless: Blog of Design Less Better.

Less is Better, Vol. 5: Vegetables

In our continuing quest for design inspirado, DLB was pleased to find a series of ads which use less graphic design to promote less genetic engineering.

DLB firmly believes that when it comes to designing vegetables, less is almost certainly always better. This series of ads (courtesy of the very cool Behance Network site) promoting the Greenpeace Genetic Engineering Campaign gets the DLB seal of approval for using less graphic design to promote less genetic engineering.

A scorpion made of carrots warns us against the dangers of genetically-modified food on behalf of Greenpeace
This ad cleverly warns us against the dangers of genetically-modified food on behalf of Greenpeace. Meanwhile, the minimal type design doesn’t dilute the clever message that the carrot-scorpion conveys.

Love it. I like that it’s a small, dangerous animal (insect? arachnid?) which is kind of the point… not sure if it’s a Scorpio – could be an Aries with that attitude ;)
