Billie Jean.NikeVandal Ad.

This is an ad. created by Billie Jean who is a very famous illustrator. It is a hand drawn image and the artist used a Biro pen to do so. This ad. is about celebrating 30 years of basketball shoes by Nike. This poster, assuming was, perhaps used around urban areas.This is because of the shoe it self, but also the content of what is drawn on the poster. The shoe it self was targeted for the urban community, young and fashionable people such as teenagers. You are able to tell by the objects Billie Jean has drawn around the shoe. The doodles such as the swirls and random images reminds us of how teenagers draw out of boredom. Hence this image is suitable for young people who like to wear fashionable items.
There are a number of drawing that relate to the sport, basketball, the main item that appears most is the basketball it self. Quite a few are found scattered around the show. It emphasises the topic that is brought forward, celebrating 30 years of basketball shoes.
     The fact that Billie Jean did this piece of work by using a Biro pen makes the drawing more valuable. The illustrator has used such techniques as shading to give the shoe a more realistic approach. It roughens the shoe up like it would have been in real life.
  As it is shown,the year1985 is written under the word "Vandal", we can successfully assume that this type of Nike shoe is called Vandal.  The word "Vandal" has one main meaning, the destruction of something good which then relates to Vandalism. So, by giving this shoe the name Vandal, it sets up its own characteristics, it shows toughness and messy and urban. The drawing then summaries the shoe. The doodles around the shoe represents the vandalised area of the beautiful shoe.
