L'art de advertising

Toshiba-TV



I've shown this ad to friends and family that aren't ad people and they think its pretty cool. I think its art because of its unique angles and context. Its real, yet not reality. I liked the whole experience of watching the ad.

This ad is a short film about what a journey is. I think the copy is excellent. It made me think about what I believe a journey is, inspiring. They only show the brand about 2 times in

Nancy Hamon

I knew that we had a library at SMU named after her, I just pretty much thought she was a lady that donted tons and tons of money to our school. This past Tuesday I had the pleasure of find out who Mrs. Hamon is and all the great things shes done in our city. I volunteered for Meadows at the Meyerson, I got to listen to the SMU orchestra, the are absolutely amazing. Everything preformed that night was in her honor. Meadows raised over $600,000. I would say that is a pretty hefty amount to money. In the program is said that Mrs. Hamon has been a donor for numerous arts related facilities and events. She is one of the people in Dallas that has done many things to honor the arts. Supposingly her husband was a big oil guy back in the day. So pretty much she has distributed her fortune all over Dallas to help keep running art places and facilties. I think its really cool all that she has done. She could have kept all her millions and millions to herself but she decided to spend it here in Dallas to devolop new entities for the performing arts. I'm glad that the city of Dallas and SMU have benefitted from her generousity.

axe has got him

He is only 14 but I'm sure he is loyal customer for life. I'm talking about my brother who buys axe and wears it everyday. He likes the commercials and will buy the new products when they come out. It's pretty interesting to talk to him about commericals and whether they make him want to buy certain things. Sometimes he says although the commerical was funny it really didn't make him want to buy the product. I asked him why he buys and axe and his reply was simple. because its cool. So apparently that the most important point the product that has given him is that axe is cool. One of the things I noticed is that he likes the packaging. I think thats a really big factor as well. Its interesting also how the commercials have young adults around 18 and maybe to 22, and my brother who is 14, is a segment in their target market. I'm postitive he will buy axe for years to come.

children believe

I babysit for a 5 year old little boy. By far is the smartest kid I know. One night I was giving him and his sister dinner and I we were talking about school. I told him that he was really smart after he gave me some random facts about something. He then replied that he was the smartest student in his class. I asked him how did he know that. He said that his mom told him. I just think that its really amazing how a young child will really believe what his parents tell him. I think during this age its really important to build confidence in a child, although really young he understands everthing you tell him and he believes you. He believes he is the smartest kid in his class because his mom told him, and I actually don't doubt that he is. Children need to be encouraged, loved, protected and nurtured to be able to grow into a normal human being.

the next computer I'm getting...

I see everyone at school with their cool apple computers and I wonder what the heck was I thinking when I bought an HP for the second time. This laptop ways what newborn twins weigh together. Apples are so slick, and I just love the software. Especially now that I've learned how to use it. Its also so much more appealing, it just looks prettier. I might pass the laptop on to my little brother after I save up for an Apple. I'll have the check the piggy bank to see when I can get a new laptop, and maybe I'll just have to wait for next semester for my cool new computer.

terrible brainwash

Those are pretty much the only words that I can use to describe the people and children that have gone through polygamous families and livestyles. There is no one in the world that deserves that awful seclusion from the world into a life of multiple mothers/wifes or whatever those ladies are to be. The children are probably going to be the ones traumatized from the horrible situtation their parents have created for them. I just don't understand in what righteous mind would it be okay to have multiple wifes and children from a variety of women. Its absolutely inhuman that girls fourteent to seventeen are already having children. I don't even think their body have finished developing when theses horrible men take them as their wifes. I see how those men think its okay. I see how those women thinks its okay, and that because they grew up like that. The know no other way to be and that is how their closed society forces them to . Its just terrible and I hope they bust every community that condones that lifestyle.

saying I'm sorry

Some really don't know how to say I'm sorry. It seems to some that its the most diffcult phrase anyone could ever pronounce. But in all reality its something everyone should know how to do. When someone makes a mistake and they know it and avoid apologizing and instead go about their way without making a sincere sorry it causes a lot more problems. There are times when I have had problems with people and the simple fact that they made the effort to apologize, it all worked out in the end. I'm not saying an I'm sorry fixes everything or that it could just save someone all the time from their mistakes, its just that a sincere attempt to amend a mistake is taken more seriously when those simple words are said. Pride, I believe stands in the way of people being able to say I'm sorry. Some think its really unecessary, and just wouldn't do much of anything. But, I'm words of advice, say I'm sorry and mean it.
