Advertising Creatives II

In the Hotmail Inbox I received yet another forwarded mail. Judging by the title of “These are the Ads we want to see!”, I assumed they are those I’ve already seen before (and posted here), but I was wrong.



Instead, it turned out to be another more interesting series of advertisements. I’m guessing they aren’t very new to my fellow Advertising fanatics, but still.



Like this one in the picture, it shows how harmful cigarettes are and discourage drivers to smoke.

This one from Lego I haven’t seen before. No idea they would actually advertise on such a huge platform.

Wha placement of product huh? It’s not nail varnish… I just forgotten what it’s called. But for now I’m going to call it correction fluid. :P

 Then there’s this FHM ad that makes the boobies stand out a lot more than it already is.

 

Simple and straightforward. Time to shed those extra pounds. Very cute.



Ah, the next one ought to be my favourite. To show how efficient this certain brand of shaver is…

Brilliant, is it not?



Too bad I’m not into Advertising. *gives Eileen a look*

Have You Seen These?

If you happen to be from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and coincidentally dropping by the FMS block or Canteen 1, be sure to look out for the following posters!



What am I blabbering about?



Other than Yi Yuin, I’m the other person whom can speak fluent Mandarin in RHW. I was in-charge to design a couple of Chinese Heatwave posters months ago and I came up with these:

 

Badge Poster

 

Earphones Poster (The faces there damn cheesey I know) 

  

Mousey Poster (oh the lovely colours!) 

  

  

I know they are considered pretty amateurish but I’m proud I did them anyway. It’s a learning process that counts, no? Hee.



Anyway, my favourite poster is the “badge” theme, where a bunch of badges are pinned, with pictures of the “on air” block, our own part-timer deejay and the imitation of “I <3 NY” logo.



Next would be the multi-coloured “mouse” icons all over the white background. I’m not sure if you get the message I was trying to convey: mouse as in the mouse we use for computers VS nuisance mouse. RHW is available on the Intranet so I came up with this idea.



In any case, I’m plastering these posters outside the Continuity Room in Canteen 1 and at the FMS block (only places where we no need to ask for permission).



Have you seen them?

Kenji Wu ... Total Cutie!

Kym and I had to honour to meet Kenji Wu in person on Monday (30 Jun) at the Copthorne King's Hotel for a quick chat.

Amidst the interview, Kenji was capable of injecting some humour, tickling us journalists and letting his character shine through.





Kenji Wu was in Singapore last week - his last stop in Asia - to promote his latest album "Poems For You", before heading back to Taiwan to prepare for his upcoming tour concert.

In this latest album, the songs were all composed by himself, and he even directed his own MV, named <牵牵牵手>. Despite his setback with the lukewarm response for his first album, not only has he garnered many fans now in Asia, but also co-writing songs for famous singers such as Landy Wen and Valen Tsu.

When asked about where his inspirations for his quirky sense of music came from, he said, "Anything and everything, including movies. The drama serials could be a fun source, and since I love reading novels as well, I find some of them in there too".



For this album, he has donned on a new style, one with the permed hair and "Prince Charming" vested attire. He joked, "The directors and my friends have asked me to stop curling my hair. They think it's awful! But personally, I like it".

Radio Heatwave recommends songs such as <眼睛不闭着>, a song which he wrote for one of his fans who was in her last stage of cancer. Other cute numbers include <什么东西> and <情人节>, of course not forgetting its hit single <为你写诗>!



为你写诗





什么东西 (The curly hair!)





牵牵牵手





Lastly, Thiang the blur one is obviously smitten with him, just that he oddly reminds her of somebody very much... hmmm. Do you think the same way too?

xoxo
