Year 3 Semester 2 Weeks 10 - 13

Hello cupcakes! Let me start by saying SCHOOL IS OFFICIALLY OVER (until September)! The lack of posts recently was due to a hectic schedule but now that freedom is on my side, I will be catching up on tags and posts!


School Computer Lab
The screen says: Panic Class (sign up to see me) - hilarious but true. The last couple weeks of school is always brutal. People have no choice but to live, eat, sleep and shit in the studio, computer lab, library, and student lounge. My personal favourite is the mile-long line ups at the printing shops.


Creative Director: Glen Hunt
My favourite class of the semester all times at the school was taught by this guy. If you have read any of my Facebook or Twitter stats on Poutine, Brain Age, Drunk Driving or Skype, it was because of him. Countless all-nighters, hours upon hours of frustration trying to come up with clever copy and wanting to smack my head against the wall every time I couldn't find the right words from the thesaurus. YET, it was still my fucking favourite class.

Glen also invited us to his bunky, I mean, his office, to update him on our progress with our assignments during the last couple weeks of school. One of the things he told us when writing good copy is to ask and answer the 5 W's. But to really understanding consumers' mindsets, we have to ask more Why's. So we decided to change his board (which he updates daily with clever copy that pedestrians actually stop to take pictures of!) to "who what when where why why why why why". And since we ran out of the letter y, we made our own ghetto versions for the last two LOL.

Here is one of his most renowned works (Molson Canadian Rant) that he wrote the copy for:

Bamboo Craft Tablet
I've contemplated on getting a tablet for almost 2 years now so this was definitely not an impulse purchase. I can't believe how expensive this little thing was D= Hopefully I'll get plenty of use out of it both for school and personal use :)

Popcorn Indiana Kettlecorn
In another class, we had to come up with a campaign for this client, which resulted in us trying their popcorn to get inspiration of course. The Original Kettlecorn from Popcorn Indiana is both sweet and salty but oddly enough it's very good! Canadians, our Wal-Marts doesn't carry this, you'll have to find it at the upper scale groceries (got mine from Sobey's). I can't think of any negative things to say about this snack other than it could get a little expensive if you become addicted to it lol. So with that said, YOU. NEED. TO. TRY. THIS. NOW. (munchin' on this as I type)
