I've seen this advert on Myspace a couple days in a row now and I really can't help but wonder what the hell its designers were thinking.

?!?!!?

Firstly, it doesn't look like a fucking tulip.

It looks like either two hands that are purely made of muscle with no skin.

Or the hands of a third degree burn victim, begging for money.

I agree...what a disturbing visual.

They were probably hoping it would turn out to resemble a parrot tulip, which it kinda does, but that's not a good red for it. I just don't get the link between tulips and careers.

Have you seen the full advert? It's...freaky and yet disturbingly well-produced.

The designer has blood on his hands.

I completely agree.

This is what happens when someone in publishing that knows how to use photoshop and suddenly thinks they are a graphic designer. These are the things that haunt my dreams. I am accused by my Scott for being a 'design snob', but I'm glad it bothers you too. :)

[this is good]

There are many kinds of tulips, there are tulips in the park.

But my favorite kind of tulips are tulips in the dark...

I think it only works if you've seen the full advert, which is actually quite cool (though I agree, a little freaky). The picture and this advert generally doesn't really work though.
