Most Effective Commercials

Target Audience: People who fall sick easily, and people who cares about their health.

Effective points: Clear message given out, in a very ridicule and hilarious way.
The contrast is between the weak sick patient at the hospital, and the energetic nurses/doctors. Its humour is lasting, and people can easily remember and recognise this ad.

Target Audience: Drivers who travels with their car, adventurous and sporty.

Effective points: It convinces and proves the main selling point of the car by showing the car traveling on many different type of surfaces. Message is clear enough. Contrast can be seen, at the different scenes shown through colour, and texture.

Newspapers and Spins.

Difference between weekdays and weekends newpaper?
Weekend Newspapers are
-thicker
-has more articles
-has more advertisements
-has more articles under the Entertainment & Lifestyle section
-has wider range of news topics
than the Weekdays Newspapers.

Reason why?
I think its because, less people work on weekends, therefore, these people have more time for other matters. And thats where the media people will try to grab the chance to attract a larger group from the public to notice thier ads and also to spread the latest news/trends all around.

Spins.

What's spins?
Spins are heavily biased portrayal in one's own favor of an event or situation. Spins are not truths, but are meant to convince people in its own way. Spins are almost everywhere!

ANALYSING CAR COMMERCIAL

FORD EDGE

SPIN: FASTER THAN A BMW X5

ANALYSIS: It shows the comparison in speed(quality; performance) between the advertised product and its competitor, which is almost in a very similar design.

BMW X5

SPIN: THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.

ANALYSIS: It show offs the car's selling point, which is in this case, its speed and performance. It just focused on the car and nothing else, making audience hooked and think about nothing else but the car during ad is played.

TOYOTA RAV4

SPIN: A CAR TO MAKE YOUR OWN

ANALYSIS: Uses humour and catchy song for this ad. Doesnt really shows car speciality or outstanding selling points. Car features not being emphasized. Shows that the couple, why competing to drive the car, they get into troubles, but still continue to compete in tryng to drive the car. Someway or another, its gives me the feeling of desire. It makes me feel that the ad is trying to make people want the car, although they dint introduce any uniqueness about the car.

SUBARU ALL WHEEL-DRIVE

SPIN: TRAVEL ALONG ANY SURFACES.

ANALYSIS: I think this is quite an interesting ad. The ad, sends out the message in a clear straight forward manner. It shows the car tyres' ability to drive thru any different kinds of surfaces easily without any difficulties. This is the selling point for this product, and the ad, had successfully send out the message to the consumers. It shows the car driving on sand, rocky surfaces, slippery surfaces etc without much difficulties. The song picked, gives me a feeling of having a smooth ride when riding in the car. "Safe, smooth journey wherever you go" that kind of feeling.

LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO

SPIN: ITS A WAY OF LIFE

ANALYSIS: This ad introduces the car's features, and tells the quality of the car. The luxury feel of the car, and its sleekness. Making consumers envy the car and have desires for the car. I think this ad has represent the car well.

What do you think of consumerism towards the automobile is like in Singapore?

Basically, I think the people in Singapore are manipulated to buy automobiles as everyone's standard of living is getting higher and higher today compared to a few years back. More people can afford cars nowadays compared to the past. People now, want, to buy automobiles, to show off to others their status, that they can afford. I think, little people buy automobiles for the reason of convinient sake. Singapore is just a small island, and we have public transport available almost everywhere at quite a reasonable price. Increasing of people buying automobiles in Singapore today will only add more harm to our surrounding nature, as gases from these automobiles one of the few reasons why global warming is happening.

LIFE AND DEATH.

2007-05-07T07:16:00.000-07:00

Yesterday,
a relative of mine passed away.
Seeing his body lying on his bed, made me think.
"i wonder where his soul is right now, probably somwhere in the house or elsewhere,
i dont know, nobody knows."
"i wonder how is he feeling at that moment, when ure just a soul and not a person anymore."
"i wonder how what happens after the last breath. it must be damn scary to be feeling all alone."
"i wonder who/what else he can see other than real people."

crazy idea:
GOD would allow me to experience life after death first before i myself have my last breath.
so that i would be so lost when i die. HAHA. coz seriously im afraid to die. coz i dunnoe what to do. my dad wont be there, my mom wont be there, neither my sister is gonna be there. i'll be totally on my own with all the other strangers, the other souls. the world would be totally a different place maybe. i dont know, how i wish so much that i could know!

once ive dreamt that the world was shaking very vigourously. and suddenly i was in another world. i thought i was already dead. i thought that was the moment ive always been waiting for.
it wasnt as scary after all, i thought. my mom was there too, and i asked her, "mom, is this it?
are we really dead already? and her answer was YES. and when i wanted to lok at my surroundings, i just got cut-off from my dream and that was the end. IM STILL ALIVE.
was quite dissapointed actually, that im still aive. coz, the dream felt very2 real. HAHA.

well, this evening, i was, as usual, surfing thru the net.
going to one of my fav website. although ive been there for like a zillion times,
i still cant get enuf of it lahh.

i was looking at the artworks under the category of 'art & design'.
i find those workpieces so cool man!
like, i was looking thur the pieces, and im like imagining myself doing those stuffs and creating one of those my own. ONE DAY. i hope the day will cum soon, after i get the hang of using softwares like photoshop, illustrator etc at school.
im soo excited. then, at that point of time, i can send MY own pieces to friendly-competitions like these. im mostly attracted to the graphic designs and pieces under the photography category that the participants had submitted, as im more interested in these 2 areas actually.
i felt so inspired and motivated at that point of time. HAHA.

yup. thats all. u guys can go there and take a look for urself...the title is the url.

OK, the first one for this blog...!

Today, while, i was on the way to work...

i kept thinking, about the WHO AM I project.

my mind kept repeating what one of the lecturers saying about using text.

AND SUDDENLY! an idea pop out!

haha. how about doing it the classic way i thought.

this is so, by using, the game WORDS.

i can express the text in a more exciting way by using that, i thought.

the game was to make more words out of the existing words on the board.

u can start a new line of word or overlap another letter on an already existing letter to make another word.

i used to play this game with my MOM and SISTER, way way back when i was still a lil kid.

YAH, so, maybe i'll be including this in the final week for this project.

but i still have to think about how i am going to use it in the project....and whether is it appropiate or not....

or, maybe not. i still havent make my final decision yet.

hehhe.
