Here it goes again...

What with my stressing over getting my final uni work sorted and how much it is all going to cost me...I've been feeling absolutely shattered what with the late nights and restless snoozes.

Basically been a bit 'meh'. This vid has cheered me up loads though, always makes me grin like a loon when I see it and the 'Berocca' ad (whatever that is) was just on TV and reminded of it.

I love the choreography and the music's ace (just my kinda thing).

Enjoy..

Latest trend..copying or lack of inspiration?

Lately there have been many ads where music has been made either with the product, or sounds have been made to sound like the product, such as The Ford Focus 'Beautifully Arranged' and Honda's 'Choir' ads.

Just released is the new Budweiser ad which follows this trend. Are some advertisements getting too similar nowadays, or is there a lack of inspiration? Not that I'm complaining though, I think they are cool, though could get boring if all ads had singing dogs, Polo, or 'musical' products.

Here's the latest Bud ad.

Here's a few pictures I quite like from my collection, I'll be adding more to this blog from time to time.




Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows..


Well, seeing as Summer is kind of here, I've been getting excited about the summer holidays in the various gaps of sunshine. I found this Coca-cola ad, which also links with the English Seaside brief I've been working on lately.

Long time no see..

Not posted on here for a few weeks, been a busy bee. Firstly, I was finishing off D&AD competition work, which I will post on here in the near future, then I was on a work placement at Bubble Media in Manchester. It was a great experience and I learned a lot and worked with some great people. Plus I love Manchester! It was also a good opportunity to do some more uni work and with a little bit of guidance from the Bubble people.

Lately, I have been finishing off the briefs we got over Easter and looking at the Clear Channel competition briefs, which I've still not decided which I want to do. Best get a move on though because only 4 weeks for that. Though also, less than 7 weeks left of uni! Already fussing over my work and wishing there were more hours in the day but ah well thats how life goes!

Here is an ad that was on TV before from Mars which makes me giggle, cool music too! Speaking of cool music, after the genius of Phil Collins and the drumming gorilla, its a shame Cadbury's had to ruin Don't Stop Me Now by Queen with them racing airport trucks. Bit of a crappy follow up.
