If there is one thing I cannot stand about advertising, it is the blatant attempt that everyone seems to want to copy someone else. In a rather far departure from the normal course catalog cover design, this summer the University's cover is a crappy rip on the latest iPod advertising.
Does this look familiar? Stills from Apple iPod commercials.
What a resemblance! BGSU Summer Course Catalog (click to enlarge).
I have no problems with using elements of another design, but this is just a big too close.

Rip off, however if you use an iPod, you run the risk of looking like the people in the iPod commercials. The urge to dance is irresistable. :=D
