Buttons (Blog Assignment #3).

Their was a little kid who was always loosing his buttons. He always got in troubles because of it. One time he was in school and he lost his pant's button and he was so embarrassed he didn't get into classes. Too many things had happened to him that he decided to use cloths with no buttons at all. These wasn't a great idea because he had trouble finding those kinds of cloths, he couldn't used many cloths he really liked because they had buttons. He gave up and he went back to buttons.

This time he had a great idea, he decided to collect buttons, so if he loose one he could replace them. His idea was great for him but silly for others, he didn't care. As time passed he got may new buttons, and his idea was functioning. If he lost one button he immideatly would replace it with another. At some point after going to all of that problem he realized that since he started collecting buttons he didn't loose as much as he lost them before it. So he was happy and at te end he kept many buttons.

Road (Blog Assignment #3)

"Life may be rough sometimes; the road can get rocky, and paths dusty, but they still take you somewhere."

That's a phrase my mom told me all time when things got hard. She and I had a lot of fights with my dad. He is a very impatient and explosive person. He gets furious for every single detail. Yesterday, we were having dinner and there wasn't a beer for him to drink, so he got very mad and just fired up. He started yelling to my mom and to me without a reason. He got off the table and raised up his fist towards my mom. I ran to stand in front of her to protect her, and just closed my eyes and felt the punch hit my jaw.

I just wanted to escape. This kind of things had already happened before. I had a secret place where I would just sit and stare at the view. It was a road, a path marked at the field of white flowers near my house. I've never known where does it leads, but one day, when I can't take it anymore, I'll just go, and find the end of the path. But for now, I need to be at my mother side, she needs me. This place gives me the opportunity to put my mind in blank, it gives me strength to go back to my so called home, and live another day.

Shopping Cart (Assignment #3)

A little boy's life was taken because of a careless act. One day a mother and her child decided to go to the supermarket together. She parked the car and they went into the supermarket, but she noticed that she didn't grab a cart. She was looking at some ceramic dishes so she told her son to go get a cart for her. So there goes the 9 year old boy outside to get a cart. The little boy was so small that he could barely see over the cart, so he was just pushing it forward trying to keep straight. Bad luck for the little boy that he couldn't see what was coming in front of him.

On the other hand, an ordinary business man was driving supposedly looking for a parking space, while he was talking on his cellphone. Of course he was too busy talking on his cellphone to notice that there was a little boy coming right at him. Both of them didn't notice what was happening and exactly when the business man hung up.. BOOM! He took the little boy's cart with him and left the boy down on the floor. Immediately people gathered up and started calling for help. The mother of the kid noticed and ran as fast as she could, and when she saw her little baby down on the floor she completely broke in tears. The ambulance arrived and quickly took the boy, but the impact was too strong and the kid was too little that he did not make it to the hospital. A few hours after the accident, all that was left at the supermarket was a cart and a thousand tears.

Design driver

This ad is of the goberment. Really simple, but with a lot of message. The purpose of the ad is to make as consciene that drinking while driving is not a game that a lot of persons are in risk not only yours.

This ad is for all the person that drives a car. So they don't take this situation as a game.

The Same?

"NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME.
Smoking gave me the threat cancer

at 39. Now I breathe through a

hole in my throat and need this

machine to speak"

-Ronaldo Martinez

The ad is telling us to quit smoking, it goes to people who smoke and it could also be for people who don't smoke and maybe they are thinking of it. It was made to tell us what smoking can cause in our lives, and how would affect us maybe not like the guy in the ad but in some way. I think that the ad may cause a very hard impresion in some o us, but not to every body. The ad worked for me.

Drink Coca-Cola

If you guys can't read the box, it says:

"Housework brings that urge to pause and relax in an easy chair. Do it...
with ice-cold Coca-Cola. It adds to relaxation what relaxation always
needs... pure, wholesome, refreshment."

This ad goes to all mothers or women that clean up the house and are very exhausted after doing that. It wants to attract their attention, and made them think that if they drink Coca-Cola they'll feel new again.
I like this ad a lot, I think it is very persuading. I am a huge Coca-Cola fan, so this convinces me that I am going to feel better with a big, cold Coke. They always make very good, convincing and entertaining advertisements. The old ones and the new ones had and have a lot of impact in all generations, that's why we're still buying it, why it still exists, why it still is number one.

just do it!

This is an advertisment from Nike Company. It's logo is "Just Do It" as you can see. I think that it means to you should just do things, not wait for the next day, or think about why you are doing it. Why leave something for tomorrow when you can do it today. Stop thinking and worrying so much about things, and just do them. You can deal with the consequences later. It means to be active, play, dance, jump, run, laugh, cry, and just live.

This advertisement is for all people, kids, teenagers and adults. It's for anyone that wants to listen and apply. And for anyone who believes. This ad wants to send out a message to people to "Just do it" and I think it is successfull. Whoever feels like doing something, they sohuld do it.

"Just Do It"

Hippie Cola !

This is an advertisement of Coca-Cola, was created manually and I think is really nice=).This Advertisement is not at a commercial level was homework from computer class long time ago at a program we were learning about.

This Advertisement is for everyone, no one in special, for everyone who is interested or attracted by the coke. Maybe some hippies are willing to buy some of these “Hippie Cola” I’ve invented made with peace & love.

The purpose of the advertisement is to promote a coke and new invention of the “company”, maybe some peace & love at the drink of coke would make the difference in the world. Everyone drunk of peace and love hell yeah! In just one little drink of coke or how many you’re willing to drink; D.

Sure! Who doesn’t one some hippie cola huh?
