This Is Why I Don't Eat Beef
Anchors new TV Spot. A lot of agencies seem to be doing the cute-funny thing at the moment. I think it's great.

Ipad
Unless you've been living under a rock you will know it's the International release of the Apple Ipad today. I wrote about the Ipad a while back and my excitement for it hasn't increased. I'm perfectly happy with my Macbook Pro and Blackberry thanks!
Although the thought of designing advertising apps for the Ipad does excite me. Geek?
Who Needs Bleach?
Keep your kicks to yourself!
It's no secret that I love trainers even if I'm currently living in my navy classic vans - summer kicks. I snap up Sneaker Freaker magazine whenever I can get my grubby mits on it and fight back the tears as I'm too poor to buy any new ones at the moment. So here's the issue.. I keep coming across features on New Balance trainers and I just can't see the fascination?
I'm trying hard to see their charm but it's really not happening. I had the same problem with Nike Air a few years ago but they grew on me thanks to an ex. I find them pretty offensive to the eye and fail to see them either matching an outfit or contrasting so much that they actually look cool. Anyone care to enlighten me on what the attraction is?
Now these Rock Terminators are something to get excited about. I would have killed to get my hands on some of these last year. It sadly wasn't to be and in my frustration with Nike I bought...
I regret this choice.

Hey nipple I MEAN WHIPPLE
I've recently been rambling on about finishing university and having to get a job etc. THE REAL WORLD. I got this book out of the library the other day and it's a really interesting read and very informative about the advertising industry as a whole. To be honest I like books with pictures, which probably sounds ridiculous coming from a 21 year old graduate BUT this book is witty and makes up for the lack of visuals. It basically told me my creative CV was a load of shit and way too over the top. I agree, time to sort it out.

HP Guerrilla Wall!
HP recently pulled a Guerrilla stunt in Istanbul to promote their new TouchSmart. A local artist graffitied over a wall and three TouchSmarts were installed allowing people to create art with their fingers. Participants are entered into a competition to win a TouchSmart.
They look pretty cool but I'm an Apple girl :) my mackbook pro runs my life!

What's the Point..
A few examples of my final project where I had to create a campaign for a brand. I got a 2:1 overall which I'm happy about but I expected a first for the creative element and I only received a 2:1. Apparently the graphics are good but not the concept, which is ridiculous because I find the majority of the graphics poor... I'm not a trained graphic designer and produce the best that I can. My concept was colour... Acrylick are a colourful brand in image and identity. They promote self-expression and the colour splashes are a metaphor for this. I am not one to usually argue with my tutors because generally I agree with my grades but this reduced me to tears. You expect criticism and knock backs in this industry but not when they can't even justify why I don't deserve a First! Apparently its not groundbreaking... Sorry I failed to see any "groundbreaking" work from anyone in my class. I saw a lot of good work with good concepts but nothing of this nature. Unlike many other people in my class I didn't use stock images; I did all my own photography, even the splashes.
SHIT THE BED!!

Professor Green & Lily Allen
The new video for the joint effort "just be good to green" by Professor Green and Lily Allen. I won't make a habit of posting music videos, which aren't terrible or have some kind of significance.. But this song/video is pretty fantastic. It's good to share.

Just Be Good To Green!
Professor Green & Lily Allen. Keep postponing that retirement Lily!
Winning combination? I think so!
End of an Era
In just under two months I will be graduating from university.. hopefully ending up with a 2:1. Not gonna lie.. I've been bricking it! Manchester Met Uni have been faffing me about with application forms and whatnot. BUT last week I came home to find an acceptance letter so the stress is over. As of September this year I will studying a postgraduate course in International Creative Advertising. Exciiiiiited!
