Ad campaign
|
Two weeks ago I was assigned a project to create an ad campaign for whatever random product I blindly pulled from a bag full of them. Obviously I pulled out Olive Oil Pam. Hmm, so I had to decide what exactly was I trying to sell? The fact that it's olive oil, or that it's healthy or non stick? There were a few choices I could have gone with, but in the end I decided to sell the healthy aspect. Below is the culmination of said project. Feedback is welcome :)
They've done it again!

What makes a band good and what makes a band great? In my opinion, versatility and the ability to evolve is what sets a band apart. Keane's release of their Night Train LP, is the quintessential example of just that. Anyone who knows anything about Keane knows exactly what I'm referring to. They have the uncanny ability to record a new and different type of sound on each of their albums and yet, still maintain a strong, faithful fan base. For myself and Keane fans all over, it's really no surprise that their latest album is vastly different, once again, from the bands "norm". Perfect Symmetry, their previous album, sounds similar to Night Train in that Keane has implemented a very 80's retro sound into their music. Following this band since 2004 and the evolution they have gone through thus far is a real testament to what a "band" is. On the latest album Keane collaborated with K'naan for two songs, "Stop For a Minute" & "Looking Back". The addition of a hip hop sound was a refreshing element to the bands latest LP. Another surprise is the song "Your Love", which features Tim Rice-Oxley , the bands brilliant pianist and songwriter, on lead vocals. EXCELLENT! Keane continues to present the fans with sublime melodies, outstanding lyrics and their amazing talent. Thank you Keane!
It is the year of the Tiger

2010 is my year! Is it yours too? For all you Tiger's out there, relish in the changes to take place in your lives and in the world this year:)
Feb. 14, 2010, marks the Chinese Year of the Metal Tiger. Swift, assured and fast, this year will bring dramatic changes all over the world. People will be motivated by honor, seeking distinction on behalf of home, family and country. Righting injustices will also be a theme, as Tigers are powerful enough to make bullies quiver in their boots. Dignity will be the watchword in 2010. People who pander to the lowest common denominator will be cast aside in favor of those who conduct themselves with grace.
According to Chinese Astrology, Tiger years are turbulent, and bring about a number of decisive elections that throw old, outmoded politicians out of power in favor of new candidates. Bold initiatives will take root in 2010, since the Metal Tiger is ready to take calculated risks. Countries that lag behind their competitors will work hard to catch up, and those at the forefront of science, technology and art will do everything in their power to stay on the cutting edge.
Tempers run high in Tiger years, and 2010 will prove no exception. Employers will make heavier demands on their staff, requiring everyone to move with swift precision. Fear of bankruptcy will put even the most easygoing bosses on edge. Similarly, intimate relationships could be affected by this year’s volatile energy. Short, angry quarrels will erupt over trivial matters like picking the movie or leaving the toilet seat up. On the plus side, your sex life will experience a jolt of passion that proves positively blissful. One thing is certain: the Year of the Tiger is never boring!
Famous for their powers of protection, Tigers afford an added measure of security. The Chinese calendar sees 2010 as an excellent year to invest in a burglar alarm, install floodlights that operate on motion sensors and learn self-defense techniques. Arming yourself against danger can keep it at bay. You might also want to learn first aid techniques and outdoor survival skills, especially if you work outdoors or in a job that involves lots of physical labor.
Cool and calculating, Chinese zodiac Tigers like to plan for the future. Therefore, it would be wise to craft a long-term plan in 2010. This could involve going back to school, starting a family, buying a home or all of the above! The important thing is to develop a sensible time-line by which to meet your goals. If you have something concrete to work toward, you’ll make good use of your time this year.
At some point this year, most people will be given an opportunity to leave a secure position behind for the sake of something glamorous, adventurous and exciting. Tiger years often involve big gambles. 2010 will be a wonderful time for anyone seeking a radical life change. For those who prefer to maintain the status quo, this will be a challenging year, as you may be forced to leave a comfortable arrangement and enter into a period of uncertainty. If you look at the shifts ahead as opportunities, rather than burdens, you’ll make the most of the Year of the Metal Tiger.

First painting by an amature
|
So this is my first painting. I love Frida Kahlo and so I chose to recreate "Dos Fridas" for my Color Theory class. It was done in Achromatic/Monchromatic. Opinions are welcome:)
On another note, a few months ago I came across a new album by one of my favorite artists Gavin DeGraw. I didn't even know this album existed but what a find! Thank you Itunes:) He has an amazing voice and stellar piano skills! With this album he wanted to focus more on the lyrics by eliminating a lot of instrumental elements. What emerged is a very intimate listening experience, with beautiful and often haunting melodies. Gavin's raw talent and amazing song writing ability make this one of my finds of the year! I highly recommend this album. You will not be disappointed. Jump on over to the itunes store or amazon and get a copy. Or you can head on over to his official website and listen for Free, which just so happens to be the title of the album. Just follow the link below, and happy listening!
