I know nothing about Eric Wrobbel, and am rather unsure as to how I managed to find my way to his ‘art’ site today.

All that is by the by, as when I got there I was hooked. It’s like stepping backward, a leap perhaps. It’s a portfolio of advertising work he has carried out in the past, and while the mind wonders just what the clients were thinking in most instances, it serves as a great testimony for the advancement of design and advertising. 

The warmth of the images, such as that seen in the ‘Vannelli’ piece above, and the paragraphs of type, often in bright neon. It’s set firmly in a decade. There is so much which has changed, so much evolution of design. It gets me thinking as to where we will be in the next decade, and what will we think of the work being produced now. Of course there will be celebrated pieces, but the bottom line is that you just don’t see adverts like this anymore. I wonder why.
