CIA Recruitment Ad

A class project from summer 2008 that I'm quite fond of still. Perhaps because of the strong, clashing colors or because of childhood nostalgia, spending summer afternoons at the NES, setting traps for my sibling's Spy and laughing when they blew up. I don't think any of us ever played the game to win, we played simply for the opportunity to booby trap the rooms.

That aside, since the US Government uses video games more and more frequently to recruit, I took a step back a decade (or two) and called upon my favorite spies. I used the strong contrasting colors to catch a viewer's attention, since it was supposed to be a magazine ad. The image of the spies is sourced from Google.
