Eye Magnifier by Rimmel (magazine ad)

They needed a mixed looking model to really set this ad off, and they got on one. I know that sounds a little prejudiced. But there are so many ways that this product could be marketed a bit more creatively. The Latina looking model has …

Baby Driver TV Commercial for Suburu

Aflac Duck campaign featuring Carl Edwards

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 …
