Since
the start of week 6 I did everything that was required. I missed one week at
the beginning but I know that I have made up for it by being here from week 6
to week 11. I do enjoy being in this class because I think you give valuable
information each week. Furthermore I come to class each week having something
in mind that either would be discussed in that week of class. I always provide
my opinion on each topic or discussion. Even though I do not enjoy reading, but
when you do chose on me to read I do so because participation points have a big
part in my grade. From the start of week 6 I know that I would get all of my
work done, because well I had to because I missed one week before so I did not
want my grade to be impacted again. I am doing great in this class, not only
because I do that work, but also I show up and I am constantly engaged in the
conversation that would be going on in class that week. I am not going to lie
when I say that the final project for this class was fairly difficult for me. I
know it was going to be hard but I powered through it to put out my best
efforts for the project. Coming up with interesting content for the project was
the hardest part, but I think I did a great job on the creative content part. I
did all the tweets also, that is never very difficult each week. From being in
this class I gained more knowledge from being in your other business class,
which I am thrilled about.

EOC Week 10
> Ideas: My idea is to create a simplistic billboard
displaying the car and only the car, with my slogan across the top of the
billboard.
> Brand Identity: Showing off the car by itself so the
viewer can catch the design perfection that was put into it.
> Media: Creating a billboard will be my media that I will
make for the final project.
> Unity and Variety of Messages: I want to create the feel that you have to
have this car. By the slogan alone I want the car to be sold or think of being
bought by consumers.
> Unity and Variety of Design: Keeping it simple with the
picture and words I hope to draw the viewer’s eye into the car and the words
alone.
> Style: I kept it really simple, I think having a busy
design distracts the viewer and doesn’t seem appealing in my
eyes.
> Brand Experience: Helping the viewer make the next
step, which is purchasing the car. Being the first to start the trend of
purchasing the new 2015 model.

The Pitch
For the final project I chose a car that I would actually love to purchase; there is a elegance of this car that would catch anyones attention when you drive. The car that I chose was the Mercedes2015 S-Class Coupe. Not only does it look great for any person but its also fully functional with the worlds most innovative driving assistance systems. This would include Intelligent Drive, which includes PRE-SAFE Brake with Pedestrian Detection and DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist, among others. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS can even autonomously apply the brakes in an emergency; this helps prevent rear end collisions up to 25 mph. Also this car is the worlds first active to have a tilting function which is the car can adapt when driving through bends; this acts the same as a skier or motorcyclist would.
Mercedes 2015 S-Class Coupe: Slogan
"When modern luxury meets an high-end aesthetic"." When
brainstorming to generate ideas, frames might inhibit creative thinking, since
they are based on common expectations derived from shared experience. " During
brainstorming, once you identify a frame, a change of frame can be very useful.

Generating and designing creative ideas across media.) I chose that slogan because that basically what the car is ! Mercedes Benz is the most luxurious car anyone could purchase.
Analysis of Project in the Real World
I think its very difficult display a car in the real world for an experiment. Besides a billboard, commercial, or even a magazine article I couldn't think of anything that the public would interact with. "By allowing the problem to percolate in the back
of your mind, your subconscious may do the job for you." Page 74 (Advertising by
Design: Generating and designing creative ideas across media.)
as I said before I would send out many specials or send out emails to costumers to come to the dealership and look or try out the car for themselves. I believe the more a company wants their costumers to come the more will. Making them feel wanted i believe will sell more cars or keep them coming back. "Often, to take a break, designers turn to other arts that engage their conscious minds, stimulate emotional responses, and encourage the subconscious.

Creative Content
·
“Creative thinkers have an advantage—they have nimble, flexible minds, able to solve problems in ways most cannot. You will notice that “creative” is coupled with “thinkers.” For creativity to be useful, it must be coupled with intellect, not to mention perseverance.” Page 33 (Advertising by Design: Generating and designing creative ideas across media.) For my creative i created a street billboard. I chose the word "street billboard" because I wanted the billboard to look like it was torn from a magazine article of some sort. Make it seem like whoever tore it off was so excited about the product that they wanted everyone to see it right away. "Most people don't bother to read body copy. People who are engaged by the line and visual may go on to the body copy. Page 102 (Advertising by Design: Generating and designing creative ideas across media). Making people think that it can just be a normal car for an average adult not just a top of the line Mercedes. I chose high end because its the most technology advanced, and the sleek design is simple but striking. "Though your concept or idea may be broad, it is foundational. Essentially, the idea drives your design decisions—how you create, why you select imagery and typefaces or lettering, and the reasoning behind your color palette selection. " Page 68 (Advertising by Design: Generating and designing creative ideas across media.)
