Flickr Love Story

I thought I would post the love story I was talking about during lunch. The images are just beautiful and what makes it more amazing is that they aren't even together. Its all photoshopped during Compilation Sundays.

Project 3 Pics

I attempted to take my own pictures for my campaign about reusing athletic shoes to make playgrounds. I was trying to take pictures of old shoes outside on the grass, on brick stairs and in the street. I think they turned out okay but this isn't the finished product. I think I am going to take them at different angles. The only issue I had was placing one of the photos on my poster it came out so small.

Show and Tell- Call to Action

I found the Raven Symone ad in Essence magazine. Pepsi's We inspire call to action is for African American women to visit their interactive website and share what inspires them. I think the photos of Raven Symone and Taraji P. Henson are beautiful and I like the handwritten text and small photo in the corner; it makes the ad more personal. You can visit the site at http://www.pepsiweinspire.com/

Call to Action

Until There's a Cure call to action is buying their bracelets to raise funds for AIDS research. For their campaign they have a celebrity wearing their bracelet. Ever since I was little I have seen these ads in magazines and always have wanted one. They have so many different styles now. I especially like the bracelets Kim Kardashian is wearing.

Just a T-Shirt- Nike Campaign 2007

Created by W+K and photos made by Terry Richardson. The campaign runs with the slogan “It’s Just A T-Shirt”. The pictures show athletes that are sponsored by Nike. I love Nike. I think their concepts are the best. I wish I could be on their marketing team.

My Collection or maybe Obsession

I call it more of an obsession than collection. I love buying eccentric purses especially purses with writing on them. I got this one on canal street in New York. The moment I saw the graffiti writing on it, it was mine. Its been a challenge trying to fit it in my everyday wardrobe but I'll make it work.

Is it me or is this just a bad angle?

MSU Homecoming 2009

Its only right to rep my Alma Mater and talk about Homecoming at Morgan State University. I just enjoy seeing Volleyball alumni from the past and get annoyed how people think its more about what they're wearing to the football game than watching the actual game. I posted a couple of the many party flyers that decorate the campus this week. There's is a method to all of these flyers. Throw a girl half naked on them and make the date of the event in large text on the front. Then jam as much information on the back. Nobody really looks at them that long. I'd say two seconds flat and then its thrown on the ground.

Unfortunately I won't be able to go to the Homecoming

because I'm fortunate enough to have class for six hours on Saturday ...tear.

In An Absolut World

I remember this ad in Spring 2008. The whole concept of these absolut ads were to show the world from a different perspective but this one didn't fly well with many people.

Real Women Campaign

This was an ad campaign Nike launched in 2005 celebrating real women. From Adrants- With the launch of a new campaign, Nike has made official the mini-trend towards celebrating less than stick figure sized woman. Following Dove's much talked about campaign, Nike has launched a series of print ads that celebrates big butts, thunder thighs and tomboy knees. The big 'ol booty is pushing aside the anorexic runway model and Ms. Magazine Founder Gloria Steinem is very happy about it telling Ad Age, "It is a change that women and some men, too have been agitating for 35 years. I spent 15 years of my life pleading for ads that reflected our readers by age, race and ethnicity. We could demonstrate that women responded better to ads that were more inclusive of them, but they just weren't coming." The campaign comes from Wieden & Kennedy
