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 …

Cosmopolitan Magazine
Cosmopolitan Magazine
This is the leading women’s magazine. I love buying and never get disappointed when I do. The content is always the same, but that is the idea. It is just a light read when I need to relax or just to have some fun. There are rarely 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.
This is another magazine from the basket of Planman media. I read almost the entire magazine of this media group. …
Kensington SlimBlade Trackball Mouse (magazine ad)
I have never heard of this particular brand of technological equipment. But I am not surprised that technology manufacturers have developed a new tool for people to use computing devices much more easily. Apparently this mouse operates on any surface at all. I cannot …

Popular mechanics magazine
Popular Mechanics is a monthly magazine that looks at science and technology through the eyes of everyday people and mechanically inclined people.

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 …
NFL Network
A lot of fuss is being made over the NFL Network and whether cable companies should cave to pressure and add it as part of their regular lineup rather than in a sports tier.
While I hate the idea of missing important football games, I give my full support to …

ZOO Weekly is, without a doubt, a men’s mag. Each week you can be sure to see at least one beautiful, albeit airbrushed, lady on the cover. There are three main topics - women, weird stuff and sports.

Progressive Insurance Ads
Being that I’m no spring chicken anymore, I’ve seen more commercials in my lifetime than I’d care to admit. That’s why when a fun group of ads come along, it’s worth mentioning, especially since I use that wonderful remote control to avoid most commercials these days.
Being commercialed-out, it’s …
The Price is Right Game Show
The Price is Right is a game show that runs on CBS. In my opinion The Price is Right is the best game show. Drew Carey is the current host of The Price is Right and he is always very energetic which makes the show a whole …
Falcon Features
Today, in the mail, I received the latest copy of the magazine Falcon Features. It isn’t a mainstream publication. Instead, it is a magazine geared toward graduates of UW-River Falls as a way to keep you up to date on the stuff that’s happening on campus and to fellow …
Canon Power Shot SD870IS (magazine ad)
I don’t know much about tennis. And I sure don’t know much about Maria Sharapova. But I can say one thing about this ad for the Canon Power Shot digital camera: this ad is lame, lame, lame. In it she’s shown taking pictures of …

Sparks Energy Drink (magazine ad)
I am surprised that I was surprised when the Vodka & Red Bull cocktails became all the rage. I have never ever heard Sparks energy drink. To be truthful, I am kind of leery of some of the drinks that are on the market right now. …
The Awful Show : A comedy podcast
I work overnights and spend a lot of time listening to podcast. At one point I was subscribed to over 30, and The Awful Show was my favorite.

The Trix Rabbit
A good marketing campaign is one that spans the test of time, and such is the case with the Trix rabbit.

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. …
Asics footwear (magazine ad)
“Sound Mind * Sound Body + Bad Idea = A Good Story.” This is the caption at the top of the page on this ad for Asics sneakers. There are about six people in the ad, with three of them sitting in shopping carts while a …
Daily Citizen
Everyone knows that the best way to stay informed about what is going on in town is by subscribing to the local paper. In Beaver Dam, WI, that’s not the case.
The local paper, the Daily Citizen, has been around longer than I have. And, at one time, it was …
Clean Make-Up by Cover Girl (magazine ad)
Rihanna is a really fresh faced beauty. When she first hit the scene, everyone thought that she was just going to follow in Beyonce’s footsteps and perhaps be a cheaper knock off. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not necessarily a big Rihanna fan. But I …

Lord of the Rings Fan Club Official Magazines
I’ve always been choosy in joining international fan clubs and being halfway across the globe, it was always a question whether it was worth it or not, and looking back now, it was. Since the release of the LOTR movies and now “The Hobbit” trilogy, I have been taking my …
Kenneth Cole Reaction Cologne (magazine ad)
This magazine advertisement for Kenneth Cole Reaction cologne really really reminds me of a Calvin Klein ad. There is shown, a close-up of a man and woman who’se faces are almost touching. From the way they are photographed, and from the background, I would imagine that they …
