Converse …… Play now, Play later
Converse has been a product that surpassed the standard for quality and durability. The Converse brand has been a long time favorite for its exceptional look and style. You remember it as kid because you can play in them comfortably all day, as an adult, you’ll remember them because you can play in them all night. Converse has now evolved into a product that is famous for its timeless look and limitless prints. The shoe can be worn for various occasions such as work, athletic attire, and dress them up when appropriate. This company has grown and changed the name of the game. In the past two decades converse has really changed the way people see shoes. I dress up my Converse when Im ready to go out because they have original looks that no one can match, and they always comfortable. I can go to a club in Las Vegas and not have to worry about being hassled because Im wearing sneakers. I stay up all night and play moving from scene to scene. My designer converse take me from and upscale party to the kickback scene of downtown. I drink at the "Ghost Bar" and end my night walking down the "Fremont Street Experience". There isn't much of a competition when the competitors are using your own shoe design. You don't have to look far to see that Converse has also inspired other shoe companies into using the classic look. The original company is still setting the trend. I dare you to go to any scene anywhere around the world and find someone that isn't wearing the brand that has become an American classic. I play, I party, I chill in my Converse.

EOC Week 6: Sell a Car

When amazing just isn’t good enough….. Aston Martin.
The definition of Perfection
The 2011 Aston Martin is the brand, design, and reputation for quality that sets the standard. The Aston Martin has been an icon of style and quality since it first arrived on the scene. Car manufacturers beware the reinvented and redesigned 2011 Aston Martin. The craftsmanship speaks to car enthusiasts all over the world. The engineering and unmatched driving experience is designed to stimulate the and enhance the feeling behind the wheel. If your looking for a leather interior, innovative sound system, and performance driven engineering, you came to the right place. Don't let the sleek design fool the eye, this car is packed full of power that will get your heart pumping from start to finish. High performance tires, chrome rims and accents, high performance suspension all come standard on this beast of a machine. This isn't the same old Austin Martin your used to seeing in the famous "007" movies. Even James Bond would be impressed by technological innovations in this timeless classic. There are very few automobiles that i would consider competition, and i could count those on a single hand. I see my self driving across the country, outperforming, and outdriving all the cars on the highway. I have driven into the sunset without out a single thought of discomfort, gas mileage, and technical problems. There isn't much to think about other than the surrounding scenery when your behind the wheel of this absolutely perfect machine. Take is out for a test drive, because the rest is history.

Week 5 EOC: Super Bowl Commercial, Good & Bad

The Super Bowl commercials have been one of the most popular portions of the event for a long time now. Many viewers tune in to watch the hilarious commercials as much as the game itself. This year’s Super Bowl commercial were somewhat of a letdown. There weren’t many commercials that stuck out and really made everyone laugh. There is one commercial that really stood out to me as the worst of the bunch. I think the new snickers commercial was to similar to last years. Last year it was new and original, and this year it was predictable. In the very beginning of the commercial it was very easy to see that it was going to be just another version of last year’s Betty White commercial. I’m at a loss for words when trying to think of words to describe the disappointment. I doubt that many people found anything to laugh about.

There are actually two other commercials that I found so comical that I have to talk about them. The Volkswagen commercial featuring a child playing Darth Vader from Star Wars has to be my number top choice. The commercial shows a child walking around trying to move objects using the “force”. At the end of the commercial the child’s father uses the wireless start to turn the car on when the child is standing in front of the car. I am a long time Star Wars fan, so it is easy to see why I loved it so much.




The other commercial that I absolutely loved was the one where it depicts wealthy men escaping from old luxury into a new Audi. The line that had me laughing all day is when the security guard ordered another guard to release the hounds. There were funny moments, but overall it was a disappointment.

Week 4 EOC: Bob Isherwood

Week 4 EOC: Bob Isher wood
There are few people in the world that really have a noticeable impact in their respective fields. According to many articles I have read, Bob Isherwood is one of those individuals that are influential enough to create change. According to creativity-online.com, Isherwood has been working on changing the advertising business and the company Saatchi and Saatchi for decades. After working for many years to reinvent and direct he decided to take some time to reinvent him. He is an Australian born businessman that had a great deal of influence as a creative director. During his time, the ad agency he worked for found a way to be creative and original and really grab the attention of consumers all over the world. One ad that I found that really grabbed attention was one depicting a fist coming out of a man’s mouth and hitting a woman in the face. The ad stated that verbal abuse is just as harmful as physical abuse (www.adsneeze.com). Advertisements’ like the one I just described is one of just many that Bob Isherwood helped create. The message is always clear and it is easy to visualize the point they are trying to get across. One thing that I have noticed is that they always represent groups or businesses with a positive message. Many of their advertisements are also very comical and keep you engaged for a very long time. The more I read about Bob Isherwood the more I realize he uses many fundamental design and advertising rules that all creative individuals have to use.
