Shades 5th Avenue by Redken (magazine ad)
Again, there is a blonde with wonderful luscious hair and a pert little pouty mouth, and blue eyes. I wish that advertisers would get a bit more creative than just sticking a blonde on a magazine page and thinking that the world will buy their products because she’s “beautiful.” …

Cosmopolitan Magazine
My favorite magazine is Cosmopolitan. I’m not sure why, but it beats out all the others by a mile and a half. Cosmo (as it’s known by most people who’ve heard of it), has everything that a woman in her early 20’s could want to read about. …

Sunset Magazine
I’ve lived in California practically my whole life. If someone were to ask me if Sunset magazine was an accurate description of what the California lifestyle is all about I would have to say yes, by and large. It is a lifestyle here and you either buy into it …
JibJab Election 2008 Cartoon
n the world of politics, there is very little to laugh about when the candidates are slinging mud, spinning issues into their perspective and changing the way that they feel on issues on a daily basis in order to get as many vote as they could possibly drum up. …

Vanity Fair Magazine
Vanity Fair Magazine, to me, personally, could be called a “Scandalous Magazine”. I have some copies at home, which my mom bought like almost every month, and I love flipping pages usually. First of all, I am totally amazed by how good the photographers’ shots were, and …
Cosmopolitan April 2009 Issue

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 …
Real Simple Magazine
I usually don’t like lifestyle magazines because they’re all over the place. Real Simple has all the same information as those other magazines, and yet it’s very different.
I think it’s because all the information in this magazine is put together in such a simple, paired down to its essentials …

Kipling bags by Fergie (magazine ad)

Eau de Toilette by Gucci (magazine ad)
This model has doe eyes and is resting comfortably on a block of perfume that looks terribly expensive. I think that this is the perfect way to show off a fragrance by Gucci. This brand is one of the top brands in the world. And …
The Writer magazine
At first look The Writer seems like an unimpressive and overpriced magazine. It does not have any flashy or attractive design; it is quite thin and it is printed on a thin paper. But once you actually look inside, riches can be found. As an aspiring writer, I have …
Men’s Journal The Adventure Issue

When it comes to lead up to games, the Packers Dope Sheet is probably the best place to gain a full understanding about …
Xerox “Practical Color” (magazine ad)
