Just Like A Movie



New York was just like the movies. Time square was amazing, and yes the advertising promotions there were ridiculous. Three story high Target posters and coke ads. Movie advertisements that definitely caught your eye. Digital posters were amazing and plentiful.
In the picture below you can kind of see the Charmin restrooms. It was literally a building where people go to go use the restroom. It was interesting. All part of advertising their toilet paper though.

Subliminal messaging

Subliminal messaging is in a lot of music and people don't even realize it. I mean think about it when ever you hear certain songs they make feel a certain way. They put you in moods sometimes to do certain things or have certain things. In that you might have to go buy a product the song sings about to follow through with your mood. I always thought this was an interesting thought.

New York

I'm going to New York for 5 days next week and I'm pretty excited I've never actually been there so it should be fun. I'm going with our DECA group so we're going to get to visit a lot of big time companies and get to see a lot of examples of advertisements and promotions. Being Texan though will make this experience very cold. I'm excited to see those billboards that are like digital and on the sides of buildings. We're going to visit B.E.T. and the Morning show. so it should all be fun.
