Negra Modelo beer (magazine ad)
“Neither X Nor O” is what this ad says. I have absolutely no idea what this really means. The glass shown is frothy and rich looking. The beer beside it looks foreign and refreshing. There is also what looks like a gold nugget or gold …
Dana & David “Only Gold” (magazine ad)
Here is yet another multi-page commercial for the marketing of jewelry by a company called Dana & David. Personally, I have never heard of this particular jewelry company. But the first page, showing only a bar of pure gold, is incredibly arresting. It …
Lucky Magazine by The Conde Nast Publications

Prayer For Baby Obama (YouTube video)
You know, I didn’t really know what to make of this particular parody on YouTube. So many people have submitted some really great YouTube spoofs. And while this one was funny, it was a bit difficult to understand at first. Perhaps the sound quality is …

Target Fresh Grocery mail publication
The Target chain has added groceries to its aisles in 2010, and apparently, that has made its way into my area as well. I can tell because in my mail today was a large pamphlet full of images and information designed to get me to shop there.

Aflac Duck campaign featuring Carl Edwards
Probably my favorite commercial creation since the Energizer Bunny is the Aflac Duck. This quacking creature really amuses me, but more so now that Aflac is sponsoring NASCAR driver, Carl Edwards. As a result of the sponsorship, Edwards has been doing a series of ads for TV …
Fox Movie Channel
I watch this channel sometimes and I don’t believe that it’s a really good channel when it comes to watching movies. This channel is normally not included with basic satellite and cable packages so it will require an upgrade. In my opinion it’s not worth paying extra …
