Week 11 EOC: Final Evaluation

I have learned a lot from this class about advertising. I had a totally different perspective on advertising before. I just thought advertising was just making pretty posters or fliers to attract attention to get people to buy a certain product or participate in some event. I never knew how in depth it really was until I took this class. Although, I wish we could have had more interesting work to do in the class other than just blogs because not everyone has the time to read blogs due to what is going with their personal lives. Also everyone is mostly on Facebook 90% of the time. I probably would have enjoyed doing more creative content other than just blogging. I do enjoy blogging but only when it's relative to something I want to talk about and when I don't have writer's block because I tend to get writer's block. I would have like to do something that defines advertising a little more because advertising is very visual. I actually enjoyed the lectures. I usually get bored or struggle not to fall asleep during lectures but this is one of the rare classes where I am actually wide awake enjoying it. I liked how this class is very relevant to my major. If it wasn't so much, I would not be particularly happy taking this class if I felt like I wasn't learning anything from it. I also enjoyed watching video's that were show in class. Especially Madmen. Thanks to this class, I am now hooked on MadMen. Even though majority of the class are in fashion retail management, I wish we could learn a little bit about fashion advertising because advertising clothes, really isn't that easy. But overall I have learned a lot from this class and I will apply to my career in the future.

EOC Week 10: Art & Copy

This fall Missoni has launched their spring collection at Target for a much more affordable and reasonable prices. Missoni clothes usually retail from $300 - $500. Since the economy has gone downhill. I thought it was pretty cool that Missoni teamed up with Target. Giving Target a taste of Italian fashion to the United States. It's also not just for women but children as well. Thanks to this commercial I just had to go out and buy myself a Missoni dress. I have to say I got a pretty good deal out of it. Although the clothes in this commercial did not go with the whole "Italian spy" theme. But overall it was a cute commercial.
