Seussville

Seussville Birthday Bash is coming to Dog Ears Book Store on March 2nd 2014.  Its a great event for anyone of all ages.  For young kids they can participate in activities and even leave with a Dr. Seuss book but what adult or teenager who grew up with such classics like The Cat In The Hat wouldn't want to be involved in the event.  You can relive your childhood memories with many others who will attend the event.  From previous events we can tell you that people benefit from this because it helps bring you to a time where nothing mattered in the world.  It can help ease your mind and give you a chuckle.  All you got to do is pay twenty five dollars for a day you wont ever forget.  To get more information go to our facebook, twitter, or our main websites.  All listed below!

The apple news release I found which talks about how the company gears up for the holidays with new macs, and Ipads helps actual promote the products.  It starts by listing off history about Apple and how the products are doing in the market. However it gives an incentive to buy the products by listing the price, and the date to get the newest version.  Not only are these hidden advertisements but the title of the news release plants the seed on why you should get them and when because it drops the key word "Holidays" which is basically saying people should get these as gifts.  Lastly, they help promote new products by giving examples like the Ipad air will come out in November.

This new article is talking about welterweight title contender Johnny Hendricks.  It talks about his first day in training MMA and how he was knockout his first day.  It then states how he is fighting for the title against current champion George St. Pierre in a few weeks and event and the day for it ( Nov. 16).  It helps plant the seeds to go out and purchase the event because it talks with the contender of the title, gives you a brief history of him and then list the event.  After that it goes into more detail about his career and the reporter ask question.  Also the name UFC is dropped repeatedly in the interview which helps get people interested in seeing what it is, so they go search it.

The Samsung article compares the apple Ipad to its own product the Samsung tablet.  It list a bunch of data but also promotes its product in the one paragraph by comparing both products.  It says A Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 with an almost 8-inch screen, Wi-Fi-only connectivity and 16GB of storage sells for $299, compared to $399 for a comparable iPad Mini.  Right there it helps establish that any person who see's this not only knows from the data how their product is better in reviews but also the name of the product, the price, and other features of it.  This news release promotes interest and gets people thinking which is what they wanted by secretly putting it in a news release

three web ads

The first web ad I followed was one for mixed martial art classes.  It said if you love UFC fighters then start training like one today.  I clicked the link and it brought me to the main website Buffalotrainingcenter.com  It was an effect ad because I actually use to train there for muay thai and bjj.  It got the point across and was of interest to me because its something I like doing.  The website is nice and helps any new visitor with different tabs to various things like gear, to coaches, and even prices.  Overall I say it was a good advertisement because it provoked interest by asking a question.

The next ad I followed was one to Ticketmaster.com.  It had a logo similar to mine saying Drake was coming to Buffalo and to not miss out.  It was short and sweet and brought me right to the page to purchase tickets for the concert.  I feel it could have been more informing on when and where because it just said Buffalo.  So overall I wasn't to impressed by the advertisement.

My final web ad trip was to http://www.buffaloathletic.com/  Like the last advertisement it wasn't to informing but just stated I could get a 10 month program by clicking the link or a free pass but doesn't state how long the free pass occurs.  It does have an image of a guy working out which kind of promotes interest to me but overall it wouldn't normally attract my interest.  Sadly two out of the three ad's I viewed were lack luster and just didn't have the it factor that some do like the first one.

Would You Like A Tour?

Drake is coming to Buffalo, December 15th and I personally can't wait.  I'm not a crazy fan where i know everything there is about Drake but I can say he is my favorite artist currently.I first got to know him from his days on Degrassi a teenage show about high school and life.  After that I heard about his next step into the music industry thanks to Lil Wayne.  From the moment I heard his songs I was hooked. His flow in lyrics and the meaning behind them inspire me.  For example his song started from the bottom has been on my workout playlist for months now.  It gives me drive to become something in life.  I just highly recommend him to any person who likes real music not just about girls,money,and drugs but about life.  To get the full experience check out his website at http://www.drizzydrake.org/ and if your going to go to his concert in Buffalo in December.  Get your tickets at http://www.firstniagaracenter.com/eventX.cshtml/85

Creatine

A product I use frequently is Creatine Monohydrate 3500.  I use it as a supplement for my workouts to help promote cellular hydration & volumization.  It basically is a legal steroid which helps fill your muscles with water and increase your size and strength.  I use it after every workout and I’ve seen great results in my increase in size and also strength during reps.  Others should use it if they reached a plateau where they feel they can’t become stronger.  I started taking this when I was a sophomore in high school after a terrible injury wrestling.  I had months of rehab after a surgery and needed to become bigger and stronger than ever.  After a few short weeks of taking it while doing intense workouts I was almost as strong as I was at the time of my injury.  Now years later I can say I’ve become a genetic freak in strength.  At 174 pounds I can dead lift 350 pounds max squat 550 and bench press 295 pounds.  My power is out of this world and I feel that this product has helped make this happen.  I highly recommend it to anyone but just so you know, drink tons of water because it can cause kidney failure.

three ads

       As a graphic designer in training I come across a multitude of different advertisements.  They do one of two things for myself ether interest me or just push me away.  Three advertisements I personally would like to incorporate different parts are Dragon Fly Night Club, the Jack Daniels, and Gatorade.

       The dragon fly poster just grabs your eye and is perfect way to make you want to see what’s its about.  The way they use an illustration tin great detail and use it to contrast with the black and red help make it a great advertisement.  It also informs you by moving your eyes around the image.  If I could take anything from this it would be how easy your eyes travels and how perfect the color scheme is.

       Jack Daniels advertisements ever sine I could remember has been appealing to me.  They use perfect black and white color combo and the text just looks so professional and neat.  I would take the layout from the way they use their text and blend it to make my own style.  It reminds me of coca cola who have their own font.  Jack Daniels has its own unique style which to me personally when I see the text ill associate it with the bottle.

       Gatorade is another ad I would love to use in my career.  They make it simple for people yet aw inspiring.  They way use celeb appeal and also a cool graphic help make it seem desirable.  They use the perfect tagline Is It In You? Which gets the customer thinking that they can be this person in this moment if they drink it.  I love how they made it a question because it triggers a respond.  The advertisement is powerful and I would love to dissect more from them to see how they come up with something simple yet powerful

       As a graphic designer I love to use all three advertisements in some way, shape or form in my future designs.  The way they all have different layout, different fonts, and styles of approach all inspire me to take the best from all three and use it to make my advertisements and taglines perfect.
