When simple can work: interesting print for the Economist

My brain is just about fried. I’ve been trying to balance more than I can reasonably manage, and maybe that’s why I’ve been drawn to simple visual and conceptual solutions that work. There have been a few creative executions floating around recently that just don’t quite make the connection for me. This one, however, nails it, so to speak:

It’s simple, a cool idea, and follows in the rich tradition of The Economist advertising, but with a unique little twist. When stuff works, its beautiful. How can we train our minds to filter more quickly down to stuff like this?

    This is outstanding. For those that praise name recognition and brand awareness, can a single one-page ad do more than this?
