Christmas is here!

For some, Christmas is a dreaded time of year, for others, it's the best time of year!

For me, this year is set to be one of the best yet. (About damn time!)

One thing that always, and will always, get me in the mood is this fantastic advert by Coca-Cola. What it, enjoy it, and get that warm fuzzy feeling, knowing its the season to be festive with your family and friends.

5th Object Design

I decided to create a "visual CV" to show what I would be taking with me to New York, and to promote myself as a media supplier when I get there, as it were.

This is the first draft of the print based advertisement. I may also be taking more photos for different ad ideas and I may accompany it with a video ad as well.

Apple iPhone Advert

After reading about Apple's advert for the iPhone was banned it got me thinking.

Even a powerful and well respected company such as Apple can make mistakes with their adverts by pushing the boundaries.

Their advert features the iPhone loading up internet pages in a fraction of a second. Obviously this is not going to be possible when you're out on the move and therefore the advert is missleading. When i've seen the advert on TV, I have always thought how fast the demonstration looks and always knew that there would be various complaints about the advert due to it just being so inaccurate.

This isn't the first time Apple have had their advert tackled. The ASA combated them before about the same issue, explaining for them to do something about it, however Apple only added the words "Network connect may differ by location". Not really much to tell the viewer that the internet is actually no where near as fast as it looks in this advert.
