Ad campaign



So these are a few ideas I been working on for Havana... The first one is to adding some fun to the propaganda look, Fidel is respresented in the Illustration shouting or demanding "viva la sandwich" the idea come up from the saying "viva la revoluciĆ³n" demonstrating the independence of Cuba. The "authentic as our history" slogan is to unify history with the authentic feel of Havana's cuisine.

The second campain is to implement some icons to the Ads, these will be "ilustres" in other words people that made a change in Cuba. The icons represent the poets, musicians, idealist and revolutionaries that put Cuba in the map.

The GOOD NEWS!!

So I finally had the courage to go and talk to the owner of Havana, and well... they are considering using my logo for the restaurant. Eduardo Benet Jr. was very entusiastic with all the ideas I presented, so next week I will bring all my designs and I will be "compensated" for my hard work. They really love the logo and a they had a few laugh with the ads, so lets see this will be my first paying client (hoooray!)

Thanx for everybody's feedback yesterday, this really help a lot and there are going to be some changes to the campaign. Furthermore I will also re-design the menu if you have any other ideas feel free to let me know.

"Viva Havana"

Fidel Castro






Since I been thinking of Havana so much, now I am making some stencils of Fidel and o gang. The illustration are going to be shown as postcards and will reflect the influential "ilustres" that change Cuba. The series is going to include Fidel Castro, ex- president and revolutionary leader of the country . Also musicians like Ibrahim Ferrer singer of Buena Vista Social Club, hows music has influence musicians in a global scale. Revolutionary leaders like Jose Marti considered as the "apostle of Cuban Independence". And Dulce Maria Loynaz, one of the mayor contributors of Cuban poems and literature.
