Is enough enough?

One of my walking tour of NYC shots yesterday.

Enough is enough, or is it.

I stayed up on the wall again in yesterday's class. I'm very happy about that but I want to better understand the meaning of "the wall" and how it relates to the ads I choose for my portfolio.

Now that I have an intial draft of my portfolio I'm looking to make it better and I want to be sure that every ad in my book (book = portfolio) is stronger than the next.

Last night we were only allowed to show 2 ads that we did for Milton Bradley. I came to class with 7 so I had to quickly choose my 2 favs. Here's the headline I wrote that stayed up:

Headline: Come together as a family and bring the leader down.

Tagline: Milton Bradley. Know who you're up against.

Milton Bradley games are all about having fun and coming together with family and friends, I wanted to show that its still also about winning and the friendly competition that exists between family and friends. Basically my ad says, "Hey cousin of mine, I love ya and I'm happy we're having a great time together but I'm here to win so get ready to lose!"

I like this concept but I worry that it might be too safe or not impressive enough for my book. Let me know your thoughts on the line, I'd be interested to know!

My professor said that he liked the line, which is good since he works in the business. And being the competitive nut that I am, I think I have enough to turn this into a funny "Family Competition" campaign.

In other news, I walked all over Manhattan yesterday searching for new shops with "Grand Opening" signs in the window. I only found one and it wasn't what I had in mind.

I was surprised because (in my head) I always see loads of new stores popping up all the time. These days I guess it's too risky to remove the safety net and try to go it alone in the cold cruel world.

Err, then what the hell am I doing out here in the cold cruel world? Mommy?

For my next photography challenge I have to capture an image that represents a country creatively. For example, it's a stereotype to use an eagle to represent the USA but there are plenty of other images that can be used to represent this country.

My idea is to take a picture of a storefront with a "Grand Opening" sign because to me, people coming from all over the world to chase the American dream by risking it all is a large part of what this country has been about. Hopefully I can find something today (the deadline is midnight!)

I'm also going camping this weekend. I think I need to get away for a bit, work has been crazy lately :o)

I have some preparing to do, cold weather camping is no joke (when I was little I got hypothermia but that was because I was using a summer sleeping bag in the dead of winter, thanks mom and dad ;p )
