An XXXciting day out

Whisper her!

For our previous Online advertising brief, we had to find an ad and from there create a online ad for that product that would attract people to click it on a website.

I was kind of lost on which one to choose to i opened a chinese newspaper i found lying next to me and the first ad i got was for Whisper's women pads. I thought it was destiny and started to get wild with ideas!

The idea that won first place in my list was to create a kind of game so that not only girls would click it but guys might get curious and might want to play the game and maybe choose the right pads for their girlfriends.

You open a homepage and on the left there is the Whisper Ad in dark blue that will stand out. The trick to grab the viewers attention is the jumping princess who wants to get on the magic carpet..

The viewer will then help her get on the carpet and the carpet takes off and starts the game. Just by moving the mouse left to right, you have to prevent her from hitting the evil starts that represent the tough moments of a woman's menstruation process.

After a while, she will enter a white vortex to end the game and finally the whisper logo appears saying : Whisper, The experience you'll never forget!

Happy CNY, Happy You & I

Last day of the wonderful long university break !! Happy Chinese people who surround the whole Island with their warm, excited hearts as they go to the temples to thank the Gods for fulfilling their prayers from the previous year and ready to dress in their traditional Chinese costumes, Round tables filled with all kinds of wonderful and interesting food like chicken feet popping out of the Chinese bowl. Everyone ready to start the new Tiger year 2010!

The festive season started on the 1st day as we visited a local friend's house and her other friends houses. Sitting happily on the sofa as they kindly served us with 101 plates of typical yummy cakes and unexpected red packets called ''Lai Shi'' which married people give the younger generations as they believe the more you give the more luck they receive! So we went home, that night, with not only a XXXL santa bag full of unforgettable experiences but also with a pocket filled with the weight of many red packets.. Lucky i had a belt, or else many Hong Kong girls would have got an unexpected Chinese new year surprise!! haha

Another very interesting thing that happens only on Chinese new year,besides the Grand Fireworks on the Harbour, is their fascinating Lion Dancing. Two guys get under a lion costume and start doing their lion king thing!! Jumping here and there and finally on their 2 feet, a scroll opens up from their hairy mouths saying GONG XI FA CAI!! which means: Congratulations and be prosperous! The Chinese phrase normally ends with: ''Hong Bao Na Lai'' which means Bring me the Red Packets.. haha Can't say Chinese people ain't smart!

The funniest thing was this morning.. as i woke up with the beep beep sounds of the sms on my phone. I see the words: Happy birthday!! I thought i was living some part of my dreamland movie and found out from my friend that the 7th day of Chinese New Year is the Birthday of Humanity! It's a wonderful to make everyone of us feel united as we get old together!!!

Happy birthday a tout le monde!!

The Hong Kong XXXperience

After many light years, i've returned to funkyadrys planet and ready to continue sharing you guys my wonderful experiences, thoughts, feeling and wild crazyness!

I wake up everyday and still can't believe i actually got the exchange to Hong Kong! I go to towards the windows of my mega galactic student hall's room and just start drooling with excitement waiting to get molested!!

Everything here happens fast.. i mean speedy gonzales fast!! People eating in 5 minutes the off to work, double decker buses that play formula 1 on the road and even the fishes in the amazing harbour swim so fast that the fishermen who spend hours under the caliente sun, don't even get a fillet o' fish! The fun thing about here is that cooking is optional as it's cheaper to eat out.. One food stall to another , we explore hong kong's varied cuisines!! not forgetting it's wild dim sum dishes that crowded the round chinese table. From sea weed, char siew delicasies to chewing gum jelly fishes and the free flow of chinese tea!! Drinking drinking and more drinking!! ( The healthy way) haha

The university experience is amazing! The joy of going into this super xxxxxxl university building and finding a bunch of funny, friendly hong kong classmates that are ready to open our eyes to a whole new experience! The difference between England and here is that everything has to be CUTE !! The girls are cute, the stuff they use are cute and even the ads they like are cute! It's a cute world!!

One thing that really impresses me about my adventure so far are the people and their strong faith! In this fews weeks, beside acting like good student doing productive work, we have been also exploring everything we can get our feet on and one of them are the temples. The feeling as you get into these big volcanic red chinese temples is unbelieveble.. Not only because your lungs gets high from all the incense being lited up as Chinese New Year is around the corner but to see all the chinese people going there to show their appreciation to the Gods for bringing their wishes to them. I was at Hong Kong's most important temple , Wong Tai Sin, and asked some people there about the chinese religious belief system and what i found out was that, every chinese goes to temples to ask for something and just before Chinese New Year of the next year, they have to return to say Thanks to the Gods. I then got curious about why they burn bulks of incenses and found out it was to feed the Gods as it burns and sometime people even burn paper made handphones, cars, houses, cash to feed their love ones up in the sky!

There's still so much to aborb in this spongy adventure!!

Check out the wild pics!

Feel life, Feel Thun

Most of us live our lives with the joy of what life has to offer. Thun gave us a new brief to promote it new set of angels collections: Angel for Kids, Angels for Mums, Angels for Grandparents. The whole idea of my ad was based on how life leads us to certain wonderful events, like playing with many other kids as a child, the wonderful experience when your child says ''mummy'' for the first time or when you see your nephews doing things that reminds you of your young moments of your life. Life is represented as a yellow string that twins around our hands cause we too have to make decisions to have the life we want to have. This string later goes around the angels moving from life as a kid to life as a grandparent. If your children makes some babies of course.In the orange palm filled with the hot color of enthusiam for life, the text says: Life is an adventure. Enjoy the trip!

Life is like a rollercoaster: Its ups and its down sometimes makes you vomit but in the end, leave the vomit behind and look forward to more suprises!

Say No to Vomit!

WMH Live Brief

University life of wild creativity has sadly ended and It's time to get creatively sweaty in the mama mia Italy. Our last crit for the year was for WMH. It was a fun last time where all of us (graphic design and advertising students) got together in the same lecture room to make our Live brief groups proud and make Representative Emma from WMH say wow! Mummy mia! Oh my Gosh!

All the groups started to present their ideas, Everyone excited to hear them! Then came our turn, The Creative Orgys! We went up and everyone of us went through parts of the development of our BIG idea! It may not have been big for Emma but to us it had a very BIG potentiality!

We had to recreate the exisiting shop of Jamie Oliver, where people who needed to know how to get dirty with food and make it yummy for the tummy, went there and got taught how to do it.. But looking at the brief we got, it didn't look like Recipease was doing preety well!
We wanted to make it different. Instead of the people having to come to this unique location of the shop. The shop which would come in a truck would go around towns in the UK and let everyone (who wants to get face to face with food) do it!
You might be asking how would we advertise our hungry for food lovers arrival. Ok. We thought of putting vegetable growing out of cement floors to first, attract peoples attention to his unsual sight but also, tell them when they get closer that ''Something New Is Growing in Town'' . All the details of time will be stated too.. and location? it will just where the vegetables are popping out! So no one would get confused especially old people who kinda easily get confused with unfamiliar roads. We want everyone one to get passionate for Food. Old people, young people, Babies, animals.. ok i was joking about the last one.. but maybe in the future Dog owners could come let their dog taste all kinds of food!

Our main aim here was to make food Fun! Who doesn't like fun, put your hands up! The name we chose to replace the boring ''Recipease'' was Ol'over --> ''All over'' the place.. Our truck will be... We thought of a fun way to attract people to Ol'ver.. I was thinking about babies playing with colourful cubes. Pop! Came the idea to make a colourful cube where every door would open and there would be different kinds of herbs ( 6 herbs in 1 cube) with packets of the herbs sold separately as refills. Someone can bring this herb around and choose which herb they desire to have with their dish. If he/she is confuse .. NO problemo! roll the cube and the lucky colour will guide you to the right herb.
For the menù. Fun continued flowing. Instead of opening a boring menu like a book, Our menù actually looks like a disc. You turn it & You see the dishes! Like a wheel of fortune: Winning is fun!

Food Time

Last two weeks of uni and we got a life brief from WMH (Williams Murray Hamm) The ad agency in London to rebrand Jamie Olivers ''Recipease'' Shop in London.. That means that since he's a chef, we gotta know all about food first. The way it feels, It's colours and not forgetting it's wild yummy taste.

Our Group that is passionately called ''Creative Orgy'' decided we should have a pizza making session and feel the emotions of making something fresh from scratch. And let me tell you, that after making a pizza, not only does your stomach feel the excitement to gobble it down but you feel happy because you have made something personalized with your own creativity and foodivity skills!

English is fun!

This morning, i woke up and entered the addictive world of Facebook and saw a picture i was tagged in.. The last group picture of the fun times together in English Class. Lessons with our Fantastic Teacher, Chris, was never like those boring lessons where u either fall asleep and dream you were next to a hot girl or your teacher was part of the reincarnation of a cammomile. Chris made it fun, Getting to interact with other students from many different countries, admiring and learning from their unique talents. More then learning about english, i learnt to be expressive, go wild with creativity and get crazy with friends.

I thank you guys for the wonderful experience!!
