Post 1: My Experiences With Advertising

My interest in advertising or commercial traces back to the time during grade school in Taiwan. I often got attracted by the catchphrases, jokes, and puns that presented in the commercial, and sometime ended up buying the said product. Over the years, I realized being in Advertising field is a opportunity to share creativity, and plays a permeant role in the market. I found out that a successful ad needs to be attractive in certain way and clearly represent the product it is selling. In America, the one of many advertisements that I will always remember is the Pepsi truck commercial with I thought was fun and creative. As I graphic designer, I found advertising is the logical next step for my future, and it fit my interest the best. It is likely that I will go work at the advertising company after graduation or study advertising major after I reapply SJSU.

Bonus: My favorite commercial in Taiwan (in Mandrin Chinese):

This is basically the concept of Voodoo! You start with speaking a curse to someone you resent before you eat the product, and it will happen!! I fall for this so terribly when I was in grade school!
