Why they work

Detox ad: the image of a person meditating, brings about thoughts of peace and the serenity of mind. and when someone meditates, he/she throws away worries, anxieties and bad nerves. the designer associates this calm with the after effects of detoxification, with the "equations" (worries= toxins in body), (meditating person= detoxifying person). and who doesn't want fast effects? 5 days, its less den a week! this also attracts attention frm adults as most of them are working and have not much time for these kind of things.

Xando ad: they used Fann Wong! lots of girls would do practically anything to be like our pretty pretty actress who actually made it to hollywood. she's slim, confident, and most of all, pretty. ok, that was the main part of the ad. but, as seen, some thinking were also involved. by appealing to our glutton self, showing that we can eat as much as we want and not get fat. PLUS stay as slim as Fann. its target audience is most probably girls who are more concerned about their size, girls who LOVE TO EAT like me and Fann supporters. age group estimated to be around 16-25.

Philosophy behind the design: the blue in it represents the sky and also the traditional color of Bavaria, the white color represents the blades of an airplane. The alternaitng colors show the airplane propeller spinning through the sky.

"The BMW logo design represents strength, durability and style."

Philosophy behind the design: The idea was introduced by Dick and Mac McDonald as arch shaped signs on the sides of their then ‘walk-up hamburger stand’ looked like the letter “M” from an angle and thus, were incorporated in the McDonalds logo as a merger of the two golden arches together. Therefore, the Golden Arch was formed.

Philosophy behind the design: As there were a large number of bats living under the roof of the distillery, it was decided that it was appropriate to also show the bats on the brand of its white Bacardi Rum products. Fruit bats are considered a symbol of good luck in Cuba.

Philosophy behind the design: The concept of the tire man was an inspiration of Edourd when he saw a pile of stacked tires which looked like the shape of a human. In line with the changes in the industry where tires have changed and evolved over time, so too are the tires of varying sizes on the tire man.

Philosophy behind the design: Some years back, Micheal Parent, a student of marketing management and a graphic designer, noticed that females felt uncomfortable while holding and being around Starbucks items. This intrigued him to conduct a study.

Micheal surveyed different locations of Starbuck’s outlets and spent time there, sometimes conducting interviews and rest of the time carefully observing the customer behavior pattern. Conclusions that were drawn from his survey were that the Starbucks logo needed an improvement.

SPIN: Its fast, effective and ALL NATUREL!

FACT: Detox will never ever be a few days thing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAS!!!!!!

*oops*

ok.

SPIN: Eat Xando and u WILL be super slim like our hollywood babe, Fann, no matter how much u eat.

FACT: Fann IS ALREADY SKINNY. So you'll be an idiot to believe that SHE HAS TO SLIM DOWN..

The Spins
1.ASUS EEE PC- "Never too young to learn". convinces readers that dis is "a perfect fit for the little ones". "Its all possible with the EEE PC" we are made to believe that little children nowadays have to be introduced to the computer as early as possible.
2.Lab Series- "Real men take control" trying to imply that if you are a guy, and think of yourself as a Real Man, you'll have to take control. of your skin, that is.
High Tech.
High Performance.
Proven Results.
stereotypes, sheesh.
3.Neuslim- "The Only DRINK that LOSES WEIGHT and RESHAPES the figure NATURALLY." "ONLY" and "NATURALLY", big big words.
4.Lenovo- "DESIGNED TO ENTERTAIN. PRICED TO ASTOUND."
5.Bossin Hair Care- "See results in 14 days or money back guarantee!" i seriously think they could have done better by stating "reaults in 10 days or less" that is such a common tactic.
The Difference
Weekends= Sports pages are more, ads are more, more "not so important" news. But, i'm reading the New Paper. So news types r practically always the same. Gossip news. I guess, due to more people buying newspapers on weekends, the ads r increased, so as to reach out to the readers more. I do know also, that Straitstimes weekend papers are almost twice the size of normal weekday papers. Prices are also different by 10cents(courtesy of hanhui).

mitsubishi lancer evo: Even women want it.

mercedes CLK63: it has both speed and class.

porsche 911 carrera: the passion will never die

critroen c4: transformer car= this car is high-tech, cool and sophisticated with attitude.

i wanted 2 blog!!! JUX NOW! blogger couldnt load.. forgot wad i wanted 2 say.. itx abt an ad.. hmmm..

oommmmm...

oommmmmmmm...

oh ya.. e nets one. recent one? remember? yes u do. ok, somehow, tt ad juz reaches into my heart. i'm sure it does tt 2 other ppl. maybe u too.. it plays wif ppl's feelings n emotions, showing how happy tt nets could make us.. btw, i think e government had a hand in it too.. it seems 2 be portraying e image of a happy family, promoting ppl here 2 marry n settle down so they can be as happy as e ppl in e ad.. if onli they knew e truth.. these things cannot be rushed de lei.. ok.. maybe its e baby thing.. i dono.. at a point in time, too many babies were unwanted. now tt ppl here r used 2 small families, we are encouraged 2 haf MORE.. sian..

if i were 2 make e commercial, well... firstly i'll observe e life of e ppl in s'pore.. n observe how nets REALI make life better.. so it would be more realistic.. but yea.. great job! 2 e ppl who made e nets commercial..

btw, i lost my pencil case!! i think i left it in artfren.. :'(

dreams are hard to remember..
coz they're dreams..
not memories..

i guess tts quite a gd reason for forgetting dreams..lol

memories, cannot be trusted too.. time changes some of our memories into wad we want it to be.. doesnt it?

while dreams, could recurr n remind u of a past.
