The Modern Day Bansky

One of my most favorite graffiti artist of all time is Bansky. He touched on real life situation that where happening during his time and use his graffiti to send a message. In a way to be he could have been seen as some type of activist.

Black Hand is a lot like this in a manner. He uses a stencil graffiti style muck like Bansky and hits on the issues that are going on in Iran at the present time. 

The photo above is one of a women wearing that Iran's national soccer jersey and holding up a bottle of dish washing soap.  The soap is called Jaam and when translated it means championship cup in Farsi.  This work was a reference to how Iranian women where not allowed to go into the stadiums to support their teams. It also reinforced  a political culture that encourages that Iranian women stayed home. The government not liking the image soon covered it with red paint only later to go over it completely but much like Bansky this did not stop this artist he continue to paint conversational pieces. http://designobserver.com/feature/black-hand-iranian-banksy/38536/

    The photography for this brand is nicely done. The display makes the brand one that is desireable and wanted. It give me a look at what good branding and product display can do for a brand. The use of the logo and the color change with the color of the organic juice is a great play on color.  The colors compliment each other very well. The way the branding is done helps the product compete with Nake and other organic brands on the market.
     It says in the article that the designer was hired to help with the hopes of creating a new brand that would capture the essence of their family farm growers. I believe that the designer did just this. The brand is both captivating and refreshing.
