Inspiration/Ideas/Experiments

I really admire this advert. It automatically forces the reader to picture themselves in each of those situations and crave the need for the product. It's simple, non-threatening, clear and fun.

Well, that's one way of doing it! Talk about being unique.

The most amazing guest lecture. He really opened my eyes. He didn't just speak about what he does but he spoke about how he got there. One thing he said that stuck in my mind was about success; Success isn't having lots of money, a nice car or wearing the most expensive clothes. Success is about being happy. Being happy in what you do, no matter what path you take. Why have a plan B? Having a plan B takes focus from plan A. It shows a lack of motivation and belief for your initial plan. Surely plan A is what you feel is right to do, so why try and give yourself a safety net which won't give you the same outcome, excitement and successful happiness?

Toilet paper ad shell. A place to kiss? I don't really understand this. At first glance you'd think it's about paper or nature, but toilet paper? Really???

(Regretting I couldn't find a clip of this advert) 'Girls, why so many beauty products?' - This would be fine if it was a moisturiser/skin care for men but truth of the matter is, it's not; It's advertising shampoo.. A HAIR PRODUCT! In my eyes, the advert would have worked so much better if the dialogue was 'Girls, why so many hair products'. Examples could have been used out of different shampoos, straightening creams, heat defences, hair spray etc. Why advertise shampoo in comparison with products in a different category?!?

You can't force creativity and inspiration but it could hit you at any time at any point. Take it, use it and make something out of it.

Okay, so I've had tumblr before but wanted to start a new one to focus more on my University course, Advertising. Hopefully this blog will be fun and interesting to everyone. Please post your thoughts on things I like/dislike and create. Happy blogging!
