Karl Addison’s Bagels & the Hand-drawn Ad Trend

Mmmm, now that’s some tasty color Karl Addison has been drawing up for the Seattle Bagel Bakery.

Hand-drawn ads were much more the norm a few decades ago. It was probably the advancements in photography, creating a much quicker turnaround and offering more control for the ad wizards that pushed out the regularity of the style. Now while this category has made room for computer-drawn as well, latley there has been a resurgence with straight-up hand-drawn logos & advertisements rounding out many companies identities. This style can give an old fashion, home-made, classic, tactile feel and it adds in a sense of craft that is often not translated to the consumer through photography.
