Font/Commercials/Product

-Font:





(1001 free fonts)

I chose this font because of it’s handwritten feel to it. I do a lot of writing in my free time so I wanted to find a font that sort of represents that. I value hand written texts over anything typed because it gives a more personal feel to it. You can get the sense of someone’s personality through their handwriting. This particular font kind of reminds me of how horrible my handwriting can be at times and how I wish it could look more neat and fluid like this.

-Commercials:

Orbitz commercials completed took over television for a long period of time and by far this particular one is definitely my favorite. I love the silly creative words they used to replaced swear words and the quite odd characters that are in the commercial.




SuperMedia uses the idea of super heroes to guarantee people who use their directory service that they’re getting the best. The good guy will stand out amongst the rest. The simple “happy” music playing in the background caught my attention at first, but I also loved the correlation between the “super” mechanic and the musician in his band uniform.



-Product:

















I chose my camera as my personal object because of the creativity it provides for me. I’ve been wanting a Nikon DSLR ever since I took an interest in photography and it definitely took me a while to save up for one. The wait and money was well worth it; I’ve taken thousands upon thousands of images with this camera. It’s been part way across the United States with me and back and it’s still in one piece. It’s a bit heavier than what I would like, and I’m deathly afraid of dropping it but the functionality and images I can get out of it is amazing.

Products

It took me awhile to figure out a item that gets better with use for me. My camera I received my sophomore year in high school has been through a lot with me. Even though many people wouldn't know about my interest in photography it is something I really enjoy. Even though there are more hi tech models of this Canon I feel like each year as it gets more and more worn down it feels more like its mine and fits perfectly in my hands.

I just wanted to share

I already did 2 commercials but I had to post this one as well just to share!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfh92hKLO6c

This ad works for me personally by using its humor, the way that they used words you would have never thought about as being used in a dirty way and used them! But I think this ad also works for people from the generation before us as well. The age of the actors is more relatable to people a little older and the style of the commercial

is more aimed at helping that generation remember a certain time in their lives.

Commercial: Chocolate Phone (Korea)

Ads in foreign languages show their effectiveness, because even when the viewer isn't participating in the language communication aspect, the visual and audio impart can still catch your brain on loop. This video was recently passed along to me through a friend. After watching it, the song will be stuck in your head for at least a week.

Korean commercial for the Chocolate phone.

First video is the actual commercial. Second video is the full music video.

Product Use: Smartwool

Smartwool is an absolute essential in any life - for any age, style, or gender. There is a reason it's one of the fastest selling products at Bibelot. Employees are more than happy to sing praises of the product to customers that are questioning, but more often than not, it's not even necessary. Anyone who's worn these socks knows exactly their worth.

Smartwool socks are wool socks that keep your feet toasty cozy better than any other wool brand, but have the added benefit of breathability so your feet won't sweat or itch. They can be worn into the fall and spring, when the weather is not quite cold enough for other wool brands, but still chilly enough that the cold can be felt on extremities such as the feet. Arch support keeps them snuggly fit to your foot at all times for a secure, comfortable feel, and they can be found in a wide variety of colors, prints, and heights (from slippers and anklets to knee-highs) for men, women, and kids. Built to last longer than standard socks, Smartwool is also designed to fit the various needs people have for socks to maximize the effectiveness of their use: runners, hikers, active wear, everyday, or just laying around the house, each style is created to support the foot in exactly the way it needs to based on the activities at hand. No one wants socks that have holes worn through them before they've even gone a month. The company, of course, also makes clothing items such as shirts and long underwear, but the socks are truly the best way to go.

The downside: once you get sucked into Smartwool, there's no going back. I bought a pair last fall just to prove to my boyfriend how great they are; he hasn't worn any other socks all winter.

Font Choice: TW Cent MT

Fonts are incredibly varied, as one would expect, based on the purpose of the font within the design, and I have used a huge variety of fonts for numerous projects. But based purely on how a font is applicable in my own life, my font of choice is TW Cent MT. It's simple, clean, neat, stands out in a uniformed manner when used in all lowercase, and lends itself to a perfectly legible logo for my photography. It's sans serif, which adds to the clean and boldly defined strokes and adds contrast again the spots while complimenting the stark whiteness of my website. It is a representation of the precision I want in my photography. Since I started using it for my photo logo, it only seems natural to remain consistent and that it would become the defining font for my own personal use as well.

Product design via personal experience

This is my saddle I am currently riding in, I have had it for over 7 years with many more to come and I love it, it has only become more comfortable with time. This saddle easily adjusts to different leg lengths for when I can bare to share it J with others. The color becomes richer with time and shows the floral pattern off more and more. This is easiest the most comfortable saddle I have ever owned and it has only gotten better over time, some saddle ridden in this long can become ragged and worn but this saddle only shines brighter. The horn is made of rawhide for maximum grip with your hand and it has many loops available to tie things for long rides.

Fonts I Enjoy

I enjoy these fonts because they are similar to things that I like, the old timey cowboy stories and attitude and the darker more romantic side of me as well. The Bleeding Cowboy font brings my mind to all my favorite clothes logos that are more often then not written in that font or one very similar to it. And the Charming font makes me think of some of my favorite darker style movies I enjoy which have creatures or witchcraft in them.

Graphic design is everywhere

These were the current commercials I have enjoyed,

The first one is the IKEA commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4-O-tLsCDo

This commercial makes me say the words long with it every time it plays, I can be doing anything but actually watching the TV and hear this commercial and say the words along with it. To me this commercial gives the ideal kitchen for a family with kids, and especially for the mother of the family with twin daughters. It reminds me of when I was a young child in daycare, there was a set of twins that could go from smiling and pleasant to evil and dark in a split second like the girls in this commercial.

The second commercial I picked was also an IKEA commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkSsOPC4ATk

(sorry about the quality, but it was the best video i could find of it)

This commercial does nothing more but makes me laugh! The comparison to your kitchen appliance team to a football team locker room is a great comparison for me and the way that they have laid this commercial out couldn’t have been more funny!

Since the topics of commercials were brought up...

I thought I'd just use one of my favorite commercials and show how the product's advertising has evolved...

I just thought this was neat.

Something reminded me of Miranda July so I went to her website and under the art section was an installation she did in 2008 at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Japan. I thought it was neat and wanted to share it on the blog.

January 18, 2010

New York-based designer Mike Deal has a great project going visualizing The Beatles.



I especially like this one. It tracks the keys of Beatles’ album tracks. You can see at a glance their poppier, more harmonic albums.


The project is an offshoot of an ongoing kaleidoscopic project at chartingthebeatles.com and on Flickr.
If it grabs you, head on over and take part. See you there!
