Radiation Poisoning: Effects on Marine Life


      My topic is radiation poisoning, the effects on marine life. With my ad campaign I want to raise awareness and persuade the individual want to help raise awareness. Also I want to get people to help clean up the ocean and help affected wildlife in their area. My target audience is all ages/families in coastal areas/beach cities, around the world. For example; the Southbay, Manhattan Beach power plant, what if something like the current situation in Japan happened in your area? I want to take my own images for my ads, there's a wildlife rehabilitation center in San Pedro and an aquarium in Long Beach.

Final Paleta Truck



      During critique our panel of student's ,"Clients", said all I need to do was flip the strawberry and make the logos larger so that there was not as much negative space in between them. so, I did this as best as I could and this was the end result.

Finalizing the trucks and moving on...






      I've been playing withe the grid and use of space on the truck. also I saw something interesting the other day with an orange slice as a sunset. During the critique Thursday we decides to take pictures of good looking mean and women that fit our target audience eating paletas, as a part of our ad campaign. Also playing with texture and hot and cold colors. For my next roughs I will start playing with a light blue tint on the trucks and maybe and orange or red tint. Plus I will start working on the Facebook and Twitter. I will take screen shots and look at other good facebook page such as the Coca-Cola page.

Some Good Advertisements (Research)

     I liked most of these ads for the simple fact that they're clever and some of the ads like the one with the ice cream cone have great use of color. By using a selective color palette color can be used as an accent to help the photo of the product stand out and not be too distracting to the eye. Also here's a website that I found that I liked and think is related to our current project:. http://www.mandmexports.com/
