Color or Black & White?





Sometimes no color is best.
To introduce a new "anti stink" product for Agion Active, BOHOY DESIGN recently developed a striking black & white ad campaign that utilized the ultimate stinker- a skunk- to get the message across. Black & white was used not only to best represent the image, but also to stand out from all of the color in the magazines.
