I am having a little trouble trying to analyze this particular magazine ad for Silver Patron Tequila. In the ad, is a large bottle of the product, featured with a green ribbon. The product itself looks top-notch. And it looks like it might be an …

The Star has maintained its stand above the rest of the local daily English newspapers for years due to its down to earth writings and layman English terms unlike its some of its competitors which presents their papers in “Business style English”.In addition to the printed daily newspaper, the …
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.
I had …
The Daily Telegraph
There are some things in this world that are just too cruel. For me, one of those —˜slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ is to find myself in a country that doesn’t get —˜The Daily Telegraph’ every day. I know that this may sound rather colonial and supercilious—¦well, it …
Falcon Features

The Puma Store (magazine ad)
Let’s take a trip back to the 1980’s, more specifically to The Bronx, where Puma sneakers (with the fat laces), Gazelle glasses and asymmetrical haircuts were all the rage. Upon perusing Blender magazine, I was delighted to see an ad for The Puma Store. First of all, …

My brother gave me a subscription to PC World Magazine two years ago and I have renewed it since then because it is great magazine for both the computer novice and hardcore pc user. It is one of those few magazines that when you get one you will …
The Independant Newspaper
The Independant is the newspaper that I read everyday. It is a British newspaper, a high quality newspaper that tends to look more at world news, and the big issues going on in the country rather than running the same stories that every other newspaper has.
The thing that I …
OTR Fan (otrfan.com)
This is yet another great web site for people that like to listen to Old time radio. Again, old time radio is what people used to listen to in about the 1920’s. There are a lot of good programs including mystery, western, comedy, as well as suspense. Some of …

Good Housekeeping September 2008 issue
I must say I am very impressed with Good Housekeepings September 2008 issue. It is jammed packed with great ideas on how to save money, which everyone could learn from.

This is the most popular teen magazine in the Philippines. I’ve had a few issues of it back then when I was in my preteen years. I’ve got a copy of it again today after a few years. It has 4 sections: fashion, beauty, features (celebrities, cover girls), and …
Essence magazine
I’m not an African American, but one of my favourite African American magazines is a magazine by the name of Essence. I usually see them being sold in stores, but when I usually get the chance to look on them is when I’m either in a waiting area, or …

Mark Larson Radio Show
Mark Larson is a radio talk show host on KOGO 600 on the AM dial in San Diego.

PC Magazine
I started getting this magazine due to a mistake on my part. I had been getting PCWorld magazine and one of my nieces came around selling subscriptions for her school. I saw PC magazine listed and misread the name thinking it was PCWorld -which I love, and I subscribed …
Giant magazine
When it came out last year (2005), GIANT magazine was the coolest. It touted itself as being men’s interest, but I had such fun with it. Its book and movie reviews were sharp, plentiful and on the mark, the interviews were punchy and fascinating, and even the layout …

Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park (Hilfiger magazine ad)
At first glance, I really assumed that the pretty blonde model in this ad had one leg submerged in water. It was not until I looked closely that I realized that the camera angle is what was responsible for the optical illusion. The woman is featured …
Biolage Styling products by Matrix (magazine ad)
Now here is a blonde that is really taking a hair ad to new heights. She’s not particular beautiful. But I absolutely love the fact that the texture in her hair and the haircut really defines what this product is all about. Strength in styling …
Jaguar XF (magazine ad)
If ever there was a magazine ad that captured sleekness, power, and luxury this is it. The XF looks like one powerful machine. Shown in sleek silver, it covers two whole pages. The first page gives the customer a view of the front of the …

It was the first time I had ever volunteered to help teach …
Pioneer Navigation System (magazine ad)
When I first took a look at this advertisement, I thought it was perhaps for a cologne. Then I thought—no—it must be a condom commercial. Then I saw the word “Pioneer” and immediately thought that it was for a musical device. I came to …
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, …
Baton Rouge Max 94.1 Fm Radio Station “Awesome”
Max 94.1 Radio Station in Baton Rouge La. is a great hip-hop station to listen to. If you live or visiting the area I suggest you hit the knob or button in your car until it says 94.1

I.N.C. Clothing (magazine ad)
Macy’s has a new line of clothing called I.N.C. The ad is a bit confusing though, because the name Rianne is used in the advertisement. There are few other words. So at first I thought the clothing line was called Rianne. …
Borghese Nail Lacquer (magazine ad)
If I were looking at this ad without knowing that it was for nail polish, I might think that it’s actually for lip gloss. The model in the picture is very pretty. She sort of has a “Liv Tyler-esque” glow about her. And what struck …
NBA 2K8 PS3 (magazine ad)
If the photograph displaying this Sony Playstation game is any indication of what the graphics will look like if I were to pull the game out of the box, then I might have to go and buy one of these gaming systems for myself. I am not …
Two Forever Lenox Rings (magazine ad)
I have never seen a ring advertised in a magazine that is as tacky as this one. The gemstones representing the various months is not even enough to make these rings seem precious enough that I would want to buy one to commemorate a relationship. In any …
4Ps magazine
I always took interest in knowing the internal matters of how companies are run. I have also deep interest in advertising. The magazine named 4Ps serves both of mine purposes.
