The annoying ad of Buffalo

       An advertisement I can’t stand is the Airport Plaza Jewelers.  The entire ad bugs me because of how cheesy it comes across.  They not only change their pitch every time but they use props like arm and leg and the chicken.  They also have way to many people in their commercials.  It just doesn’t look professional to me.   As a graphic designer I do have some experience in video editing from courses I’ve taken and I would change everything starting with the quality.  The camera equipment would be improved to movie like quality not home made videos.   As for the actors I would use no offence to them but pretty people because it would attract clients.  The pitch would be come down to Airport Plaza Jewelers where you can get the best money for your items in Buffalo.  It would then list the address and number and be done.  The ad would be short and sweet.

Ad Campaign WWE 13

A ad campaign that really struck me was one for WWE 13.  It's a wrestling video game that was released last year that I bought.  It really came across as a great game on TV.  The part that caught me was that you could relive the attitude era which was the greatest time of professional wrestling.  I loved the idea of playing it again because when i first started watching wrestling it was when this era occurred.  The ad said by pre ordering I would get a personalized  Stone Cold Steve Austin version of the game with his autograph, his own game case, and his DVD.  When i got it on the day it was released I felt like a kid all over again.  I played it for hours upon hours and haven't stopped playing.  I was very satisfied because like the ad said I got his picture signed his game case and DVD.  It really was worth the extra money because it brought back so many good memories I had as a kid while watching WWE.

First Entry

       I took this class to help expand my knowledge in graphic arts.   To be the best at my profession, I have to be able to improve not only my writing style but terms of punctuation and sentence structure.  After achieving these milestones, I can then claim to be the best at what I do. This can be advertising, printing, or any other opportunity presented for my hard work in this general area of study.
       I would like to acquire from this class a vast improvement in not only my style of work with certain words, but also a vast increase in my vocabulary for any parts of my career where I would have to present to fellow employees.  I feel I can pick the brain of my professor to get insight on not only his achievements and failures but also a peak of what to expect down the road.
       After completeing this course, I feel like my career will start to take off in the distance future.  Of course I can continue on after this year at Erie Community College to another school to obtain a bachelors degree but if not I feel I will take key points from this course and utilize them.
