VisitOrlando.com (magazine ad)
If I wanted to advertise a website for Orlando, Florida, I would certainly not do it in this way. I might have some imagery of the golf courses, the swimming pools, or perhaps even Mickey Mouse. But what I wouldn’t do is have a close-up shot of …
College Lifestyle Magazine
It was only until I got a free copy of this magazine at a career expo at a local university did I know that this magazine existed. In fact, I had only remembered hearing of a show on a local television channel with a similar name that covered the …

When this commercial comes on, the viewer sees a completely white room, with beautiful white furnishings–great art…a really inviting space. The camera cuts to a white couple sitting in their very white living room reading. The woman is thumbing through an IKEA catalog. We can …
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, …
KYMX - 96.1
Radio stations come and go with the decades and certainly in this day and age, more attention is given to playing company favorites than fan favorites, and that frustrates me. After listening to country music for a few years and becoming totally disenchanted with its same repetitive tracks, …

With the advent of 2009, though, Stewart has left …
Look: A Philippine Fashion Magazine
Whenever I have the time, I like to browse around magazine stores, especially second-hand magazine stores such as Filbars, to see what the market is offering in terms of magazines, both local and international magazines. Although I still like international fashion magazines, I have long ago learned to depend …
Lucky Magazine by The Conde Nast Publications
I bought this magazine from our local store and boy how I regret them. They are really thick and seem like a fashionista must have. It is really deceptive to look at especially since they are super thick and I thought I am getting value out of my money. …
Junkmail Classifieds Newspaper
This is one concept I give a lot of credit for to the pioneers that identified a need to fill the gaping hole in this market. A weekly newspaper published especially for the listing of classified advertisements.

Ryan Porter (MSN.com Journalist)
I usually enjoy reading the news that is linked on MSN.com, and mostly find the articles informative, entertaining, interesting and the perfect length to stimulate the mind on those hum-drum days at work. HOWEVER, this particular reporter never ceases to amaze me.
Ryan Porter writes the “dramarama” articles you find …
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 …

Time Magazine
A few months ago, I got an offer from Time Magazine I couldn’t refuse; a year’s subscription for $15. I can see now why it was so cheap.
In the past, I could get Time Magazine and read it front to back; being entertained by everything in it. Now, I …
Birds & Blooms
Birds & Blooms is a beautifully photographed magazine. I used to subscribe to Birds & Blooms because I just loved receiving the magazine and looking at the pictures. I was not too interested in reading the articles or learning anything about birds, I just loved the photographs. Birds & …

Make-A-Wish Foundation (magazine ad)

Consumer Reports magazine is another one of those magazines that you look forward to getting every month. I find it’s one that I read cover to cover whenever I pick it up. We have had a subscription to it for over 20 years and it has constantly helped …
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 …
People magazine
I buy People magazine every single week. I love it because this magazine doesn’t only talk of celebrities , it also has lots of articles about big news that is happening around the world.I would say it is 50/50 mix of celebrities and human interest.
People magazine debuted in 1974, …
The Foundation for Better Life TV Ad Campaign
I am commercial’d out. I’ve been around a long time, and I just hate gimmicks, be it for charity or soap. Sometimes, though, something comes along and just captures my interest. That’s the case with The Foundation for Better Life TV Ad Campaign.
These are short spots, …
Smart Parenting Magazine
This is a very nice magazine I came across during my last visit to our dentist. At first I thought that it was just another of those advertising magazines that when you scan the pages, you will just be taken over by numerous advertisements instead …
Jane Velez (CNN)
Jane Velez has a show on Headline News, in which she comments on the latest political story, scandal, crime story or gossip topic of the moment.
Until her show came along, I really didn’t think any one person could get on my nerves quite as much as Nancy Grace, but …
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. …

One of the hobbies I refuse to give up, despite the present economy, is reading. There are few things as personally enjoyable to me as being able to relax with a cup of hot tea and a good magazine. So, since going out to movies and restaurants isn’t as …
Computer Gaming World magazine
My husband is actually the one who subscribes to this magazine, but I enjoy reading it when it comes. There have been a few editorial changes lately, and the jury is still out on some of them. For instance, they got rid of one of the columns …
Redbook Magazine
I have been a subscriber to Redbook magazine for close to a year now and have been a fan since eighth grade, when I discovered my mom’s collection in the spare bedroom. Like many magazines, Redbook has come downhill quite a ways. Fortunately, there is still a bit of …
Eye Magnifier by Rimmel (magazine ad)
Kate Moss was the model du jour for this ad. The volume that you’re supposed to get from using this Exact Definition mascara is definition shown on Kate’s face. What’s interesting is that I have never seen a model’s eyes look the way they do in this …
