Dali Exhibit a Must See

Went to the Dali exhibit this past week. Talk about amazing. This is a must see for all interested in art.

Project 2 ideas

1. Comparing cosmetic ads in Asia v.s. U.S. We normally see cosmetic ads associate with female models through out the centuries; however, it is getting popular to use male models/celebrities to sale products in Asia. One biggest reason is the cultural difference.

2. The Toyota car commercial recently shows on TV has brought new target audiences. We usually see car commercial features the safety and speed for family and male target audiences. However, this Toyota ad shows the coolness it could make a parents be and their children proud. There seems like a problem of influencing people of how embarrassed it is to drive an old car.

3. Domino's new campaign starting with the fact of people complaining about their pizza and now they are trying to fix the problem. Most pizza commercial we've not seen the honest criticizing part but they took it and use it as saying they will hear consumers' voices.

3 ideas

My first idea was about the Got Milk ads, the use of infamous people over normal everyday people to produce the viewers to drink milk.

My second idea was the Dove’s ads were they change the way of using real women over models to endorse they product and contrast them to that of Olay ads.

My third idea is somewhat like the first idea. I was thinking about the use of famous personal to up the sale of an certain item normal everyday items like perfume, jewelry, makeup and every food.
