This is a can recycling advertisement. The katakana "カエス クダサイ" used in the right corner is what the cans want to complain. It literally means "Return Me Please!". I used katakana because of emphasis purpose. "リサイクル" is a loanword , means "recycling".
This is a cute advertisement! Did you design the can yourself? Also, I think that Katakana would reach a broader swath of Japanese people, and therefore would make sense in an ad such as this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Augustin-san! I didn't design the can myself, I found it on the internet.
DeleteI like this ad. And it's legit--recycling should certainly be advocated. I like how the ad utilizes all three Japanese scripts (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana) so it's not just appealing to viewers from a foreigner aspect like Katakana alone can oftentimes do. Also, curious to know--did you design the can? If so, quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Elise-san. But I didn't design the can myself :p
DeleteInteresting ad! And the use of katakana for "カエス クダサイ" surely emphases the purpose and make the whole ad lively. Great job!
ReplyDeletep.s.: Same as above, is this can your design? Really cute.
Hehe, thanks for the comment, Tia-san. I didn't design the can. It is an image I found on the web.
