The Challenger lifting off on the morning of January 28, 1986. Soon after takeoff the Space Shuttle Challenger experienced a catastrophic failure, eventually killing everyone on board. Later that day President Reagan delivered an address to the nation. Many believe this was one of the most profound speeches of the 20th Century. http://www.nasa.gov/audience/formedia/speeches/reagan_challenger.html
We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.

New CVS marketing campaign. This was a “skyscraper” ad I saw recently.
I think it’s a high caliber design because it’s simple and it exhibits integrity, or at least it presents itself as having integrity, which is probably close enough. The truth is, it’s very difficult for a company to have this level of integrity. Any design which puts that on display will tend to catch your eye and you will tend to remember it.
If you wanted to be a perfectionist, you would probably remove the ‘Learn More’ hyperlink at the very bottom. It takes away while adding nothing. Clicking on the ad itself should take you to the exact same destination. Removing that text makes the ad more simple.

The ingredients for man’s most critical needs captured perfectly in one of the most striking movie posters ever produced.
Humans can survive three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, three weeks without food, but just three seconds without hope.
