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 …
Microsoft Sync software (magazine ad)
Expanse of orange and red across a two page spread. The color in and of itself would make one take a second glance. There must be something to the oranges and reds, because I am noticing that a lot more execs are using these colors in their …

Baby Driver TV Commercial for Suburu
After decades of watching commercials on TV, I’m tired of them. I tend to zone out, multi-task, or change the channel when a commercial comes on. Sometimes, though, an ad campaign does capture my interest. One of those is the Subaru Dad and Kids campaign. …

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 …
Fabulosity by Baby Phat (magazine ad)

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 …

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 …
FINGERHUT MAGAZINE
Fingerhut magazine is a magazine I started receiving in the 60’s, wherever I lived. When I was first married, I made the error of many newly weds, of buying on time payments. This was an error, as the payments seem to have a high interest rate, and it took …
Geox athletic shoes (magazine ad)
I have never seen a show that breathes. So many tennis shoes end up in the garbage bin because they are either too beat up, or just too stinky to keep anymore. Sure there are odor eaters to capture and release those stinky fumes. But the …

Glee Season 2: Grilled Cheesus Episode
I switched channel in our television on ETC last night and watched Glee 2. I did not see the first part; the only part I saw was when the glee cast was feeling sorry for what has happened to Kurt’s father Burt. I hardly know what specific type of …

Luxury on Loan by BagBorroworSteal.com (magazine ad)
Let me first say that I would love to have lots of bags from Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Kate Spade. But the idea that I would have to log into a website and “borrow” a bag makes me sick. I wouldn’t want to …
Australian Uggs (magazine ad)
I am really loving this commercial. Featuring a really nifty pair of comfy looking thong Uggs, this ad has a very exotic looking model who appears to be looking off into the bland sunset. Actually, you can’t even see the sun in this picture. …

My family and I listen to the “British Broadcasting Corporation” or BBC a lot, and one of the things which I like about it is the BBC World News. Over the years that I have been listening to it, I have realised that both the one that is aired …

Rouge is a brand new …
Prada eyewear (Fashion Rocks magazine ad)
Is that Linda Evangelista I see in this ad? I cannot tell, because the extraordinarily chic woman in the ad is clad in a pair of Prada sunglasses. Her dark hair is pinned behind her head, with some sort of intricate hairpiece. Also intricate is her …
Makulay ang Buhay Marketing Campaign
Have you seen the latest campaign of the Knorr Meaty Seasoning? It was really amazing and I guess this is one of the best TV advertisement ever show in the modern era of TV media advertising. Their main concern was not only to sell the product; their campaign also …
Platinum by Montecristo Cigars (magazine ad)
I don’t smoke cigars, nor do I have a desire to. I am aware that there is a certain sophistication involved in cigar smoking. Creative teams responsible for this ad obviously thought that sex appeal needed to be incorporated into the ad. There is a …
Packers Dope Sheet
Now that football season (well, pre-season) is starting again, I am once again making my weekly visit to Packers.com in order to read their weekly dope sheet.
When it comes to lead up to games, the Packers Dope Sheet is probably the best place to gain a full understanding about …
Flavors (A Food Magazine)

The TV Guide Channel began essentially as just a scroll of cable listings. Now it’s a network with original programming. The one theme that is consistent is that TV Guide Channel is all about entertainment and nothing else. You may find paid programming during the wee …
The MBT Anti-Shoe (magazine ad)
What in the heck is an anti-shoe? That is what I say when I take a peek at this ad in Wired magazine. In the middle of the page is what looks like an orthopedic sneaker. But at the same time, I’m intrigued by …
