lack of anything to talk about

I am seriously distraught. Why is "photobucket" trash all over my blog? GET IT OFF IMMEDIATELY.

Anyway, I got in touch with this company called Little Big Brands recently. I got an email back today and am looking forward to talking to them at some point this week. They do a lot of cool brand identity and advertising stuff. I guess I'm in this phase where I just want to learn as much as possible about anything that interests me. The more brains to pick, the better.

I can't wait until I'm in the creative world. Numbers are completely mind numbing. I want to talk and play around with words and ideas. I think what  I find most fascinating is how one piece of advertising can appeal to people of every single demographic/psychographic, but how advertising varies from country to country in the same stride. 

I was surfing one of my favorite blogs today, and I came across the most charming ad schema. It's for Bournvita, a nutritious chocolate milk drink in India (that my sister and I were just, ironically, talking about. It's darling. I got to thinking how this type of ad could be reformatted to fit the American population. 

I won't reveal my brilliant idea here. 

I hope everyone is catching drift of my sarcasm.

Anyway, I've posted the ad here. Enjoy!

Hopefully I'll come across some other cool stuff to write about within the next few days.

In other news, Washington DC is amazing. I've fallen in love with it. It's the perfect mix of trendy, mature, eccentric, and sophisticated. Love it. Can't wait to see where the hell I end in the next year.

Your Slightly Optimistic Blogger,
