Luster’s Renutrients (magazine ad)
“The secret is Beautiful hair is bigger than just olive oil.” I like that this line was used in this ad. But I am really having a hard time believing that Luster’s has discovered something that other hair care systems haven’t. Anyway, this commercial features …

V05 Extreme Style Hair Products commercial
Now THIS is a commercial I really like. It’s a two-page spread that I found in Blender magazine. On the first page, you see a woman and man in an elevator. First and foremost, I must say that whatever building they’re in looks incredibly classy. …
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 …
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.” …
Haven of Rest by Charles Morris

These are short spots, …

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 …
Rohto Eye Drops (magazine ad)
“Feel the Eyedrenaline” is the title of this striking ad. I really like that the artists responsible for this used the visual (pun intended) option and ran with it. In the middle of the page is an eye. Part of the eye looks dry …
Bon Ton fragrance by Ed Hardy (magazine ad)
Ed Hardy is bad azz. I love the T-shirts, the caps, and all the accoutrement that celebs choose to wear when they are not on the red carpet. The designs are always very “brutal” looking but they have a really couture edge bordering on biker-wear. …
