The Seattle Board of Advertising presents "The Art of Advertising: 1910-2020"

January 20 - February 5 - Seattle Public Arts Centre

"Sweet Dreams with Huggies GoodNites"

Mina Kwon, 2012

Step back to the early 2010s with this well-loved Huggies GoodNites advertisement. .

With an art style reminiscent of classic storybook illustrations, Seattle-born Mina Kwon's work on this piece conveys a sense of timelessness and comfort. Her attention to emotional detail and the use of soft, rounded character designs create an inviting and reassuring atmosphere, ideal for the product.

The playful interaction between the characters and the use of space within the composition tell a story beyond the image, a narrative that resonated well with mothers.

This advertisement was praised for its approach to commercial art, where visual storytelling and product messaging intertwine seamlessly. It's no wonder Kwon won the 2013 SBA Award for Upcoming Artist in Advertising.

It was the first of an iconic series that ran for two years, all which underscored Huggies' commitment to a good night's rest for big girls.

As you observe mom and daughter, set against a backdrop of starry night skies and cozy bedroom decor, let yourself be transported to the serene world that Kwon envisioned—one where mommy knows best.

suggestions [results]

We ended with a tie between these three.

• “I would enjoy seeing media relating to supermarket remodeling for the expansion of the diaper aisle and perhaps relocation of some apparel sections to be adjacent to the baby section. Like one of those "excuse our mess" signs. Maybe also covering the installation of adult sized changing tables in the bathrooms.” -  (anon)
• "Maybe something else about the Vantez collective group that made those posters. It would be fun to see something about one of their leaders ending up back in goodnites or something similar." -  (ShockaDrewlu)
• “Confident, professional asian women regressed into nerdy diapered girls” -  (anon)

i will see what i can do this october :)

thanks for all the other suggestions. i genuinely liked them all and i hope they will find their way into the next transmissions. 

suggestions needed! (comment below)

hey friends i’ve been considering the best kind of poll to ensure you see some of themes or ideas you want to see. ive already seen some great suggestions here and there but i thought it would be good to centralise.

 this is a bit experimental so i hope it works.  

here’s how it will work.

comment your suggestion/themes/ideas below and also like the comments from others you think are good. 

it can be a fully fleshed out idea, a vague subject, a scenario, a product, a type of media (e.g blimp ad or forum post) or even a word or phrase.

if you want to suggest anon then message me and ill try to post it myself.

i will assess the suggestions and pick from the most popular in a week. 

caveat: please note i need it to make sense within the Alteredstate world. so pls don’t be too sad if i can’t choose yours!
