This class experience has been very interesting and fun. I have also learned some new things that I will need towards achieving my goals in the fashion industry. I have been doing good in this class and I have been pushing my limits to come up with creative ideas that will help my work have a better understanding. I have learned how typography can improve your products success because people like to be visually entertained. Typography can display emotions also depending on what text you choose. I have also learned that storytelling is a major process you must go through when you want to make your product portray a story or a scene which helps people make decisions towards buying a product. I have incorporated storytelling in other projects due in other classes that help make my ideas stand out. I have used storytelling to portray emotions that people go through in daily life. Storytelling can be used in many situations and can help influence decisions and ideas whether or not the product or concept is right for the person. I have also learned that creative thinking is one of the hugest factors that is incorporated when making products. Creative thinking can stand for so many purposes. Creative thinking will help in the process about how your product will be, what will the product stand for, for what purpose it is being used, and for what kind of audience. Creative thinking will help you think about commercials and advertisements you will use to promote products and make them stand out among every other product out their. Everything that I have been taught will help me in the process of creating an outstanding company. It will also help me promote my products that will be produced for the public. I personally think I deserve an A- and the reason for this is because I missed 1 class period and missed 1 assignment. Although I missed 1 class period I really have been pushing myself and have been finishing every project that is due for the designed class period on time except for the one that I was not here for. Everything else has been running smoothly and I have been keeping up with my tweets and my project on a daily basis. So grade wise I think an A-

"What differentiates a brand is how it is characterized, its visual and verbal identity as expressed in each media unit and through every point of contact." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 4 pg 4) This brand is different in many aspects and uses different ingrediants not found in shampoos.
It uses a fusion of pink lily and asian silk which is very unique and special with every latherto improve hairs health. "Knowing what made an idea come together well once has made me be more receptive to letting it happen again. And again" ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 2 pg 11) and Herbal Essences has kept that idea repetitive by using mind maps to help them organize and relate the products images, ideas, and words using this creative thinking process. "A mind map is a visual representation, diagram, or presentation of the various ways words, terms, images, thoughts, or ideas can be related to one another."( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 3 pg 6)
One strategy that has also made this brand succeed is commercial advertising!

Creative Content
The creative content is one of the important key factors that will help your ideas bring the product to life.
Creativity is everywhere in music, art, ideas, ect. "Creative thinkers have an advantage—they have nimble, flexible minds, able to solve problems in ways most cannot." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 3 pg 1) The creative content can be combined to make a interesting ending product that will help excite and amuse people that will give them that urge to buy the product.
Thinking can cause creativity and "Often, when we are relaxed and not working at idea generation—perhaps while driving, cooking, exercising, showering, or doodling—a concept comes to us." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 5 pg 11) So pretty much anything you see, hear, feel, and do can spark creativity and help build a good concept.
Creating something unheard of or something new can be very creative and can be a advantage toward a fresh idea. "To create something fresh, you need to know what has already been done. You've seen millions of ads in your lifetime and probably know what looks, feels, and sounds stale by now. The ability to deconstruct and categorize ads is a useful skill for those who aspire to do creative work." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 7 pg 1)
A campaign can help a can be effective when using your creativity towards a product. "An advertising campaign is a series of coordinated ads, based on an overarching strategy and closely related ideas and connected by look and feel, voice, tone, style, imagery, and tagline, where each individual ad in the campaign also can stand on its own." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 10 pg 1)
This includes pictures, music, and textures for the product.
Storytelling is a very creative method but very difficult and time consuming when it comes to the product. " In marketing, we use storytelling about a brand or group to communicate related messages that, over a period of time, will distinguish, differentiate, reflect positively, construct or contribute to its brand personality, be memorable (stick), resonate, and influence people." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 10 pg 5)
Storytelling is very strategic and requires a lot of creativity to come up with that theme or concept to
represent the product. The story should have have a a subject or a situation to tell to make the whole idea illuminate. "A story has to address the brand and make it the “hero” or even the “action hero” of the story" ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 10 pg 7) It cannot be the villian or else it would contradict the product and make it look like a bad product. Storytelling can be quite difficult but can be very effective when it comes to emotions.
For my product I want to use my creativity to make unique colors and drawings. These two things will help people visualize and bring my ideas to life. Color is one important factor, many people love to see color and they are often amused with the variation of colors objects are. Color can also have emotion to it pale can mean gloomy or sad as in pink would have a very positive happy emotion to it. Choosing the right colors is a creative way to make something unique out of something plain.
"Once you generate an ad idea, you need to evaluate it, testing it for functionality and creativity." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 5 pg 11)
Knowing what exactly your product is about is one of the first steps to begin to think what the product does.Creativity is everywhere in music, art, ideas, ect. "Creative thinkers have an advantage—they have nimble, flexible minds, able to solve problems in ways most cannot."

Promotion
Their are so many ways I can promote the ponroduct that I chose. First their is adverstising, "for such advertising to affect you, it has to seem relevant to you, and it has to be presented through media channels that will reach you."( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 1 pg 1). "For example, most shampoos in the same price category (perhaps even across price categories) use similar ingredients and provide equivalent results."( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 1 pg 1) Advertising can help change the way you think and the way you feel about the product "That said, effective advertising could persuade you that a particular brand is better or more appealing than the competition."( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 1 pg 1)
Copywriting is another way to promote when it comes to people. “If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think" ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 6 pg 1)
Copywriting are solid ideas and often very short to get the message that the ad is trying to tell. Visuals and copys help strengthen the ad or product and help people get an idea what the main purpose of the product is all about.
Another way on promoting the product is using typography and visualizaition."Typography is the design of letterforms and the arrangement of them in two-dimensional space (for print- and screen-based media) and in space and time (for motion and interactive media)." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 8 pg 1) It can help communicate ideas or feelings depending on how the text is made. For Example "Classic typefaces also possess visual qualities that have survived changes in fashion, those without eccentricities or trendy qualities." ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 8 pg 2)
It can be made for use on products, tee shirts, billboards, and cards. These methods help people decide whether or not the typography has convinced them enough to buy the product.
Commercials are another way to promote a product. Commercials have 6 purposes
Copywriting is another way to promote when it comes to people. “If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think" ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 6 pg 1)

Call to action, create awareness, or drive people to the Web". ( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 12 pg 1)
Commercials are a very popular and effective way to communicate your product and express ideas. People see and hear commercials on the web, television, and radio. It helps broadcast the message world wide and get publisized among people.
These are ways you can use to promote a product. Choosing a proper promotion for you product can help boost your products popularity. Knowing how to be creative to come up with a great promotion is very effective and important depending on audience.

EOC Week 10 "What Makes A Great Ad"
"A great ad is entertaining or its dramatic but it definately has an Idea" Is the point of view of Terry O Reilly. This is one of the most important things in creating a very great ad because you want to be
a able to entertain people and make them have so many emotions when they see a ad. Advertisement is all about emotion and using creative ideas to create that emotion you want a person to portray. You want to also entertain the person with the your creative idea for the ad you are creating. Having a theme to put all these together often helps entertain people. Having a lot of color also entertains people because they love to see a lot of color.
"The type of adverstising media you choose can have a large impact on getting your advertisment idea
across" This is another factor that is important to create a great ad. You want to have an idea of what kind of media you will use to impact people and get them to notice the ad more. You want to also make sure you get your idea across people because if people cannot understand what the ad is about then how is it going to
be interesting for them. People can often get annoyed or confused because they have a hard time trying to decipher what the ad is about or what the point of the ad is. Having a perfect simple idea is a way to help people better understand the concept and they can also be entertained by what they are watching and enjoy it.

"No matter what is the case, they intend to leave you touched and make you remember images and messages they sent you." So another important factor to making a great ad is to make it memorable by telling a story through the ad. If their is not story or plot to the ad then there is no point in it being a successful ad. You want to make people remember the ad through the vivid images or plot you use to create a story that they will never forget. People often remember ads that stir up their emotions and make them start thinking or creating a story in their head. People love to see something that they will never forget they don't want to remember a boring plain ad that does not even spark any attention.

The Big Idea
To attract my customers "Advertising is used in a free-market system to promote one brand or group over another"( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 1 pg 1) which is what I'm planning to use to promote Garnier over Pantene. To start this I need to use 6 phases to begin my products process:
"Knowledge
I will start a commercial to promote the product and boost its popularity through the audience since "The audience is the main group who would purchase this product, utilize this information or service, or patronize this entity or brand." (Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 2 pg 2). I want everyone to say “We saw your commercial tonight!”
as an advantage against my competitors since they are more focused on selling the product instead of adding a
bit of color and playfullness to a make it interesting instead of boring.
I guess a big key in my ideas for more sells and to distinguish it against my competitors would be the design of the bottle and making it playful to fit all ages. "In this phase, the idea is articulated in visual form. Several distinct and targeted options are presented to a client. Therefore, for every project an agency or studio must conceive, design, and present several creative solutions." (Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 2 pg 7) Making art out of shampoo is unthinkable and it adds a bit of charm to the product since many of the other competitors don't have that idea of making there products towards every age and person in the world. "The act of creating art—painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, collage, photography, any traditional or nontraditional art—activates several parts of the brain, sharpens thinking, provokes the mind's associative network, and increases focus to a point where creative thinking can occur." (Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 2 pg 9) Their is 3 steps you must follow when your in the art process:
Move From Surface To Surface Or Medium To Medium" (Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 3 pg 9 )
This will help me focus more on the artistic views of the product and toward what audience it is made for. The playful design of the product will attract kids and will make the parents to choose the product, and since it is made for all ages it will definitely benefit the parent also. Many kids don't like showers so maybe with a bit of playful design and color for the bottle kids will be more willing to want to take a shower since it makes the product seem very fun. The color attracts every person of every age and who doesn't want color on products. Color makes the product shine and look very appealing to every person of all ages. Pantene does not offer a lot of color for their product and it does not look very appealing, it makes it look dull and plain. The bottles design does not attract kids because it is more towards the adults since the product is more adult like, with Herbal Essence we provide every person of every age the ability to use our product because we do not limit it to a specific age group. I think our product has advantages with all ages with its unique, artistic, colorful bottle design.
"The best adverting works by attracting people to the benefit of a product or service with a story."(Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 2 pg 10 )
Herbal Essences wants to put emotions through the product because every person goes through different emotions, each emotion is a different story told that makes memories which is one of our goals creating that unique story to bring out emotion. Using these 7 ideas to create the story to bring out every persons emotion is what brings the product come to life
Photomontage" (Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 3 pg 10 )
We want to show everyone that we care about how you feel and we don't just care about our product which I think differentiates us from the competitors. Our clients are very important and that of all is one of the hugest and biggest key factors that makes our products be popular among everyone.
"Knowledge
this long process helps a lot when it comes to starting to attract and promote products or brands.
I will start a commercial to promote the product and boost its popularity through the audience since "The audience is the main group who would purchase this product, utilize this information or service, or patronize this entity or brand." (Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 2 pg 2). I want everyone to say “We saw your commercial tonight!”
( Advertising by Design,Copyright © 2010 by Robin Landa, chapt 1 pg 11)
to get them excited and interested in buying the product since it is one of the most popular ways to attract attention.
After the commercial I would start on creating very interesting colorful ads that has to do with the concept or other interesting ideas that revolve on the slogan and the products use. Since color in ads and the commercials are very alluring to buyers and every person in the world that is one of the big main concepts I would useas an advantage against my competitors since they are more focused on selling the product instead of adding a
bit of color and playfullness to a make it interesting instead of boring.
