The College for Creative Studies is attempting to reach out to young artists with a slew of hilarious Art School PSAs. The PSAs are done in the style of drug PSAs, depicting art students as at-risk creatives.
I always knew that doodling was a gateway to illustration, and now my suspicions have been confirmed by CCS' Art School PSAs. The PSAs are great because they manage to appeal to everyone, not just artistically inclined students. I could never seem to keep my coloring within the lines, yet I still laughed out loud several times when checking all of these ads out. Artsy folks and those with a thing for PSA spoofs are definitely going to want to check out what CCS has done here. Admitting you have a problem with art is the first step.
