Second Monday

Interesting how much can be learned in a brief time span. (Contrasted with how much time I seem to lose in front of the monitor on any other given day.) Working in groups on our salad ads was very entertaining. I was impressed with the quality of the imagery, and the imaginative ads and copy that were created. It's really a challenge to work within the time constraints of this much abbreviated "quarter," but all the teams rose to the occasion admirably. And came up with some gorgeous images and clever captions.

In speaking previously of time lost in front of the computer - I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Remembering those commercials made me a little nostalgic, to be honest. And were they ever a representation of a particular decade, in terms of dialog, fashion and content. We've gained so much in quality, but lost the perception of "innocence" of previous generations. Didn't Wrigley try to bring back the "Doublemint" twins concept a few years ago? It would be interesting to see how many originals have been re-tooled for today's audiences.
