The Cadillac of Ads

I am a big car hobbyist and fan. This probably will not be my only post pertaining to a car design or a website of an automotive manufacturer or even an advertisement of a car. This image is almost breathtaking as to how good it looks for as simplistic as it is. Its a Red CTS with a black background and the words "Cadillac" written behind it, add some lighting effects and you've got an astounding visual image of a car ad. The first thing that rings to mind is how classy the image looks as a whole, which in turn makes you think of how the car is a luxury car in the first place so you wouldn't expect any less. If they had added any more to the image like a background it would have ruined the design of the whole layout. Knowing when enough is enough (even when you didn't ad any other image) is probably one of the best things to learn as a designer. If you can get your design across and captivate everyone who sees it, without any kind of attention grabber besides that of the design of the whole or of the product itself, then you are doing a fantastic job.
