WWF Print Ad

Wow this ad from the World Wildlife Fund is very powerful. The creative team did an amazing job at turning this in to an effective bent visual. The visuals in this ad are so good that a headline isn't even needed. This is definitely one of my favourite print ads to date!

"Joy it forward"

Pepsi's new campaign "Joy it forward" adds a new spin to marketing this campaign Cheryl Radisa, vice-president, consumer marketing, Pepsi Co Beverages of Canada, said,“We’re targeting a mindset with this new campaign, not a demographic,” I think this is pure genius to target a mindset rather than a demographic. After all they are trying to enlighten your day with ads that say optimism, smile more and joy it forward. There bright colors and catchy phrases help to change your mindset and put you in a positive mood thus motivating you to buy their product over the competition. Whats your take on it, does it make you smile, or make you feel more optimistic?

Does Taylor Momsen have what it takes?

The Pretty Reckless- Blender







So what does everyone think of Taylor's new song? I personally dig it, I actually found it pretty catchy and found myself wanting to listen to it a again once it was over. But that's just my opinion I'm sure a lot people may think otherwise and probably will say they hate it because they just hate the thought of a T.V star being good at both acting and signing. It seems that, that usually is the case in Hollywood you cant sing and act without someone bashing one or the other so what do u think? Honestly tho aside from the fact that she is already a television star. I personally adore her and her style. I would give this song a 4/5 stars how about you?

oh, and if you like this song check out these links and listen to some of her other new demos on youtube such as, zombie and he loves you

Don't Drink Yourself Fat


I actually stumbled across this ad when looking for the new Pepsi Joy ads that are actually pretty cool too but this one definitely beats out the Pepsi Joy campaign. I have never really been a big pop fan but I'm pretty sure that if I was I wouldn't be anymore. I wonder what Pepsi and Coca-Cola products think about this? I bet this will put a damper on sales. I'm also wondering what else NYC's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene' has up their sleeves. What product will they bash next?

Achieve Your Dreams- A poem worth reading



Life is what happens while you are making other plans.

A person of words and not deeds
is like a garden full of weeds.

It's better to be trusted than liked, Under promise - Over perform.
The key to happiness and success is to have a dream.
All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today.
You always pass failure on the way to success.

You have to wake up in order for your dreams to come true.
Don't let lack of praise nip you in the bud.
The surest way to go broke is to sit around and wait for a break.
The only thing worse than an alarm going off is the one that doesn't.

An ego trip won't get you anywhere.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little extra.
If you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain.
Count your age by friends, Count your life by smiles.

A natural tendency is to want to be understood rather than understand.
Don't prepare for rainy days without enjoying today's sunshine.
Keep your heart a little softer than your head.
Don't think there are no crocodiles just because the water is calm.

Stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
Growing old is when fun is a lot more work.
Never insult a crocodile until you've crossed the river.
If you don't lie down no one can walk on you.

If you think things improve with age attend a class reunion.
A good scare is sometimes worth more to a man than good advice.
Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.
We have two ears and one mouth, Think twice, speak once!

Experience is the best teacher because it's always on the job.
You're never fully dressed until you wear a smile.
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
The greatest mistake you can make is to be afraid of making one.

Happiness is the journey not the destination.
People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.
Does your employer consider you profit or overhead?
Look at life through the windshield not the rear view mirror.

To succeed do the best you can, where you are, with what you have.
Don't let your voice mail be "voice jail" to your callers.
A man without humor is like a car without shock absorbers.
Wisdom is what's left over after we smarten up.

Many people quit looking for work when they finally get a job.
About the only thing that comes to us without effort is old age.
Don't wait for your ship to come in swim out to it.
Every job is a self portrait of those who did it.

Talk less - Say more.
Love at first sight saves a lot of time.
Autograph your work with quality.
You can only control two things your attitude and your activity.

Remember, there's nothing more constant than change.
If you tell the truth sooner or later somebody's going to find out.
Experience is the one thing you can't get on easy payments.
Remember change and change for the better are two different things.
Be on the level and you won't go downhill.

All play and no work, does not work.
A goal is a dream with a deadline.
A liar needs a good memory.
Dream of worthy accomplishments and stay awake to achieve them.

The only place success comes before work is the dictionary.
You can be happy without needing others to agree with you.
You are not late until you get there.
Glory comes from daring to begin.

Have a back bone not a wish bone.
The greater part of progress is the desire to progress.
Happiness is the place between too little and too much.

Remember no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Destiny is not a matter of chance it's a matter of choice.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Each of us has two ends a sitting end and a thinking end, Success depends on which we use.

Many spend half the time wishing for things they could have if they didn't spend half the time wishing.
For every person who climbs the ladder of success there are a dozen waiting for the elevator.
Happiness is a choice not a response.

If your dreams turn to dust vacuum.
Do it now, you become successful the very moment you start.
People may doubt what you say but they will believe what you do.
Success -Don't do what you like, Like what you do.
