Guinness Ad - Dark Life

Im a fan of all the Guinness adverts, and when i saw this one i thought it was just as good as the rest of them.  I love how you see what is the sky (which is actually Guinness) comes down and just emerge the town, and as the advert continues it begins to take over the entire city/town. You see things come to life with lights, fires, people in the streets,  in the end the entire city is alive. During the ad you see shots of people drinking Guinness. The ad works well as you see things go from dark to light just like a Guinness does. The colours and theme is appropriate for the ad. 

Skoda - Full Of Lovely Stuff

This Skoda ad is really clever as you watch them build the car, and turn it into a massive cake. The song used sings about food and sweet things everyone loves, so creates the idea that this car is going to be really nice too. By showing that they make the car, and put all the icing on and build the engine too, shows that they (Skoda) put a lot of care and craftsmanship into building there products. Throughout the ad when the cake is being constructed Skoda parts are brightly coloured to stand out against the white plain background.

Audi R8 - Spyder! Beauty and the Beasts

This is beautifully made advert but its a bit mixed up as the theme is based on Beauty and the Beast. I know that the Audi is meant to be the "beauty" and the hot rods the "beasts" but i think all the cars in this advert are nice, and Im sure any car enthusiasts will be thinking the same thing, the Audi is a modern, beautifully constructed car but on the other hand the hot rods are an authentic piece of history with a lot of character of there own. I think the transition between the music helps differentiate between the "beauty" and the "beasts" when the hot rods are being shown the music is very quick Rock 'n' Roll and the hot rods are shown racing about bumping into one another, its almost like the scene has been sped up Then everything starts to slow down including the music, next is a shot of the car and in comes the very light slow beautiful classical music, it makes the car look even more graceful. It dodges all the hot rods so effortlessly, and that is what ties it in with the copy so well at the end. Very clever advert in my opinion.

Evian Roller Babies

Everyone was talking about this ad when it first came out! When the music first starts it grabs the audiences attention as its a very upbeat and recognisable song.  Then from the second you see the babies, as its such a surreal thing to see babies roller skating. All the colours are bright clear and soothing, which i think portray everything about the water its advert, when the music stops and cuts to a plain screen with the Evian logo and a bit of text that makes you read it as where your so engrossed in the ad then the music stop and you can hear drops of water and lets you know "Supports your body's youth" it relates back to the roller babies as there very youthful. The animation used in this advert is very well done. They also include the product into the advert which the babies use to skate around. Overall i think this is a very well made advert and connects with every target audience.

Ray-Ban Poster!

This is just one of the posters i did, and its one of my fav! its simple but effective as the ad campaign is "Never Hide" and you can still quite clearly see the ray bans in the background. 

Transfer

So now iv finally left college and im focusing a lot more on uni, i am currently working down Spoons woohoo lol and saving soooo much monies just to get me through the first couple weeks lol. But by working at spoons i am allowed a transfer so i will still have a job just near my uni which is a bonus :) My first choice is working in the Lloyds Bar as it has music and working in a bar that plays music is perfect coz i cant stand not working in a bar without music like im doing now! 

So hopefully i get the transfer i want to The Queens Hotel the Lloyds bar in Newport Town :)

It looks like every other Spoons but with music, thats the beauty of it lol :)

2011 Progression !

So now its the end of my final year at college, and i can honestly say i will miss everyone!! We have had some great times and not forgetting the laughs.


Im off to the University of Wales in September, if i get the grades :) im so excited i cant wait!! iv already filled out and applied for my student loan and also my Student accommodation. The uni also sent me a social network site for postgraduates of the uni, and through the site i have already made a load of new friend and been able to talk to people that will be on the same course as me :D

I know uni is going to be very self directed and the work will be an awful lot harder than college but after the experience of falling behind at college due to issues at home, iv had to do an awful lot of catching up and i dont like it one bit !! I like to think that when i get to uni il be able to focus a lot more on my work as i wont have the trouble of looking after my sister. I will already have a job for when i get up there as Weatherspoons are going to transfer me which is a bonus :)

I still have the opportunity to go to Australia in July but im not sure weather to go or not due to saving for uni  =/  

Website!

This is the home page for my website. i thought using a Polaroid theme would look good, but i hate it, i wish i could change it and make it a lot simpler!! its a bit messy and all over the place, t o be completely honest i just needed to get something done to pass my unit.
