Tools for your trade

Kiran here...with my long overdue recommendation on cameras and printers that will serve you well and not cost you a kidney. I'd suggest finding them used on Ebay.

Camera: LUMIX FZ5/FZ7/FZ8
All the benefits and control of a SLR in a very compact package. I've had the FZ5 since 2003 and have no regrets. You can also shoot quicktime movies. It has a killer 12x zoom, and a Leica lens.

Printer: Canon i9100/i9900
The 9100 has 6 inks and the 9900 has 8...all individual cartridges that will save you a ton of money. Printer heads are available for around 75$ so you can breathe life into an old printer if you need to.

If all you can afford is a letter sized printer, I'll teach you how to mount two sheets together to make a 11x17 ad. Ask me in class.

Buying a good camera and printer will serve you well in the long run. It'll save you time, money and free you from the ineptitude of Kinko's employees.

I love the simplicity of the animation, you’ll definitely need some sound to get the feel for it though.



This last one is one of my favorites of all times.

Tomorrow — Make-up Class Part Deux

Hi geniuses,

Kiran and I have, er, graciously agreed to make up for last week’s missed class and have one-on-ones at TM tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 16 @ 6:30.

Please, if you’re not going to make it, email us your work so we can see how it’s coming along.

But I do seriously recommend that you come and take advantage of our one-on-one critiques. It will help you move your campaigns along and get to a better place.

So. Tomorrow. Be in the lobby at 6:15. At 6:30 I’ll take you guys up in the elevator. We’ll probably be on the 19th floor this time so you can play ping pong/watch TV/do whatever while you wait for your critique. Shouldn’t take long.

Oh, and bring all your work up to this point, even if you haven’t done anything further with it since we last saw it. Just so Kiran and I have an idea of where you are.

Thanks, and see you tomorrow. Call my office number if you have any questions.

Scary then Funny then just plain weird.

skip this one to minute 2:40

What's your poo telling you?

With all the poop jokes in this class, this book is a must read. A hilarious look at what is really going on inside with medical explanations, written by a doctor, for all the various experiences we've all had. Packed with over 2 dozen crowd favorites like The Log Jam, The Glass Shard, The Deja Poo and The Hanging Chad.



What's Your Poo Telling You?

It helps you go to the toilet. If you don't use it, you'll get cancer and die.

The 48-Hour Drill

Hi geniuses,

Here's the deal. Since a lot of you were polishing your first campaign/still trying to figure out your second campaign, Kiran and I decided it would be appropriate to give you a couple days' rest.

Now we get to see how well you do in a quick-turnaround situation. Whoopee! It's just like what happens at agencies all the time.

So those of you who just had Quikrete, your new product is Arrowhead Mills All Natural Cereal:

www.arrowheadmills.com

Those of you who had Lactaid, your new product is Sigg aluminum water bottles:

www.sigg.ch

I realize you have only 48 hours. That's why we're calling this the 48-hour drill." Just do your best, have fun, and be smart about it. If an idea doesn't clearly communicate a single, compelling benefit, don't waste time with it. Move on. This will be a good learning experience for you.

Come on! Isn't this fun? You get to see how quickly you can think on your feet. See how much you can do in this short of a time period. Surprise yourself. Impress Kiran. Make me smile instead of groan.

Thanks. You're going to be okay. Trust me.

Do we have a new assignment?

Haven't gotten an e-mail.

Anyone?

With or without footprint, also added grunge to the shoe

The shoes themselves are a really metallic silver, having a little  trouble making them look increibly dirty, but hopefully what grunge they have now lends to the  age of the cement

NO CLASS TUESDAY, OCT. 7

Hi geniuses,

I hate to do this to you, again. But I hear you guys are struggling, a lot of you anyway, with this latest assignment.

So I’m giving you two extra days, and canceling tomorrow’s class. We can have a make-up when Kiran’s in town.

I want you to turn your campaigns in Thursday by 6 p.m. at my office, less than a block away from UCD.

And I mean as done as they can be. Full-color, finished, and polished.

I know you all have a class on Thursday evening. That’s why I’m choosing 6 p.m... To give you time to get to your other class. I’d give you more time, but it’s simply not going to be possible.

Friday morning you’ll get your new assignment, and hopefully we’ll start meeting regularly again next week. Those of you who feel like you’re struggling need to be contacting me and Kiran more often. You know who you are. It can only help, right?

Wish me luck. I have a big presentation to Nationwide tomorrow—the idea some of you saw last Friday at the agency. Let’s hope they like it.

Enjoy your second stay of execution this semester.

Talk to me or comment if you have questions.

An actual real life lactaid add

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions?

Those of you that were there friday know that I had to rethink my campaign and come up with a new one, here's what I got..

My tag line will be "We told you it was fast."

(I'm a little unsure about my shadow on the shoe)

I'm struggling to come up with a third ad, I was thinking about having a dog pulling at a Frisbee that had been thrown into the cement and dried up.

Please, don't hold anything back I want all suggestions and comments, feel free to tear me up.

Desert Prada

Some people in class were asking me about this last night, and yes it does exist. I myself was unaware of its existence until on my way to California I happened to pass it on a lonely stretch of desert highway, far from the interstate. It was a classic double take, pull the car over with a screeching halt type of moment.
The project was built to fade back into nature, and at some point the store looted and trashed. (artist statement or an excuse to abandon upkeep?) At any rate it makes a striking visual and it is very interesting how people have gravitated to it with their own forms of artistic ritualized expressions.
Anyways here are some photos I took....
