Active Naturals by Aveeno (magazine ad)
Boy oh boy, once one cosmetic company catches on to something, then it seems like all the rest follow suit. I think that either Cover Girl or Revlon has discovered a way to help the consumer find her perfect shade. Now Aveeno appears to be doing the …
Lionsgate (magazine ad)
I have never ever seen an ad for a movie house before. Furthermore, I have never seen a production house use a line of films by a specific director, to market the production company. Lionsgate is actually one of my favorite production companies because they tend …
Seer
I regularly read the columns of Swami Sukhabodhananda in newspapers and listen to his speeches telecast on Aastha international channel.

Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine
This was supposedly the pink issue. Im not a pink girl and honestly buy the time I got through the magazine I thought I’d be a little sick of pink. With pink as a potentially very predictable theme, I thought they’d be more creative. Pink can be very edgy …

Journeys.com footwear website (magazine ad)
This website is for the athletic footwear enthusiast. In the middle of the page is shown a terribly trendy sneaker, hovering over the words “an attitude you can wear.” I like this phrasing because it’s powerful when applied to something as trendy as a sneaker. …

White Lucent Eye Treatment by Shiseido (magazine ad)
The purple is a really good idea. For some reason that particular color denotes a majestic aura. In this case, the eye treatment that is being advertised is given a polished look through the centering of it on the page, and with the color. The commercial …
TMZ staff
These people at TMZ just do nothing for me. They have a website, and they have a 30 minute syndicated TV show. What a complete waste. Worse, that our society supports it is just sad.
While I love the opportunity to see what my favorites are doing, …

Kipling bags by Fergie (magazine ad)
I am not really a Fergie fan. Personally, I feel that when she joined the Black Eyed Peas, they lost a little of their authenticity. The band suddenly became all about Fergie because she was the new snow princess to take the rest of the group to …

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 …
U.S. Army (magazine ad)
The United States Army has a lot of work to do in trying to get people to enlist. No one is signing up anymore. I’m exaggerating. But the point is that this Iraq war has turned a lot of people off of the military in …
