Big debt is not a

“problem-free philosophy”

Copy:

As far as we’re concerned, “Hakuna Matata” isn’t a financial term. America’s total consumer debt is $2.6 trillion. That’s $8,500 for every American citizen--and that doesn’t include real estate. Unnecessary debt contributes to depression, bad credit, and a poor economy. Next time you think about making a big purchase, ask yourself: “Do I really have the money?”

Favorite Disneyland Castle Image

I think this image is superb. I have it hung in my cubicle. The colors are so rich and crisp.

Although it was originally called Snow White's castle, the name was changed to Sleeping Beauty's Castle. There is also a walk-through of the castle that depicts the Sleeping Beauty Story in storybook images.

Disneyworld Castle

Below is the Disneyworld castle. It is called Cinderella's castle and is much taller and more ornate than the Disneyland Castle.

I just watched this video today and had to post it:

Produce 2 Print Ads: One with Copy Only, One with Illustration Only

What do you think? Do they share the same idea? Are they effective?

Copy:
When it comes to the alphabet, 'm' is all you need.

Forget 'a-l' and 'n-z', 'm' is where it's at. Since 1941, the recognizeable 'm' has become and American icon for the colorful candy which has brought delightful chocolate goodness to millions. mmmmmmmm...

Print Ad Remake-- Single Edge

Here's the original ad I found from the BusinessQ magazine (2007 publication)



I felt the image in the original was not effective for the audience of the ad--business people. Most business people don't really care what is behind the scenes of their website; i.e., how big, sleek, or clean their servers are. They just want to know that the technical side of their business works well and either keeps costs down or increases revenue.

I decided to utilize SingleEdge's logo--the power button symbol. What came of a little thinking was the idea that eBusiness should be simple and get the job done. Thus I said, "eBusiness as simple as pushing the power button."

Bits of interestingness

This is Saroooh when we went to Disneyland a few years ago. She's very pensive. I believe she was in deep thought over the relationship between Minnie and Mickey. Saroooh means business--monkey business.

This is lieblingsmensch feeding bread to this rubber ducky. She really cares about the homeless ducks around campus.

I had the most scrumptious lasagna tonight made by lieblingsmensch. It was utterly delicious, and lieblingsmensch is sick. We will have it for lunch tomorrow.
