lions and tigers and bears, oh my....

Through this class we have examined new and trendy ways of advertising, but when it comes down to it I don like these new mediums.

I recognize that everyone has facebook, and that a giant muffin crushing a car get people attention, but I think to be successful l in advertising you have to think bigger than the muffin. You have to be able to take a quarter page in section L of the Ottawa Citizen and using black and white get people to notice.

there is no thought in these new trends, where is the skill, buying a word on Google, takes seconds. Developing a brand personality, researching your demographics, then preparing an image that will convey your message that requires skill.

Now maybe i'm wrong and maybe ill flop like an Edsel... but I think there is a lot to be said for a little hard work.

wish me luck!
