A bit gawdy


A bit gawdy, sure, but I'm not backed off from it and I actually read this one. I wasn't interested at the end, but this isn't my thing really. But it could have been, if I was so inclined in schooling of a nature close to this one than I could have been sold with it. With a bit more value added propositioning I could have been sold were I absolutely neutral to the idea of schooling like this. I'm decided against it and would have had to been thrown deep into want with something extremely enticing to do it, real niche targetting.


Another plus point is in the command quality of before the switch, it set me up like a sucker. The switch as gone above before don't have enough real value added draw, but it could be said it doesn't quite impinge enough. If it had a bit more POP I think it would have it. But on the other hand the layout is good, I understood the time designations quickly and drew in to the Click Here button as a matter of course and with any inclination to that area again, between the logo and the button I would have been their next visitor.
Well that's what I thought atleast.

South-Eastern Union




Pretty incredible this one. My first thought on seeing this was why is Western Union showing the south eastern United States?

It's because of the storm side of it, but I'll be honest I didn't read anything else than the upper left "WESTER UNION" until I put the image in the blog. The shine brought my attention squarely on "WESTERN UNION", partly as a byproduct of too much shine on the line just below it. I repel am attracted by the brightness, then repel from the overshine which layed my eyes peacefully on "WESTERN UNION." Genius? Luck? Chance? Not sure, but that's what it did for me.

Definitely gets them seen, but the yellow/orange is a little too yellow so I confuse it a bit with the Yellow Pages, and the circle arrow next to the CLICK HERE gets confused with the Yellow Pages symbol.

I don't know much getting a conersion from it, but it definitely got the impression/exposure, good shot on that.

He Saved a Fortune and he's a Jerk

I am fan of advertising. I like seeing it, watching it, hearing and making it. Growing up in America I feel I was bread with it and so I have some where to speak from when I talk about it's pros, cons, qualities and abnormalities.

Note on anything I say about these, I will say explicitly if I think poorly of the company or person who made and this will be few and far between. I dig advertising and in advance I thank every person making me look at these ads every second of my life.

Feel free to add your comments on them or what I say, watch the flaming of those creating the ads those, they are probably people and not AI producing ads for the benefits of humans or indulging in a plan to subvert the planet through it's media capabilities.

So we start wit the add on the right there.

To answer it first, no, I didn't just save a fortune on my life insurance.

I wouldn't say this incites the deepest emotion in me, but it got my attention. For me this is definitely coming from his childish antagonism. Maybe I'm too young to feel for this one, but I don't want to buy insurance because of this and I think the only thing to push me in to doing this would be fear of old men beating me up.

While larger in usual use, I don't feel I've been communicated to with this add, I lack reality with it's communication.
