I Made My Own Ad... Sort of

We were assigned to make a magazine cover and I choose to recreate one from one of the Wired magazines given to us in class. To me the initial ad had unbalanced proximity and the vocal point of the ad (the watch) wasn't displayed in a manner that allowed it to be the audiences main focus. Though my remake doesn't necessarily have the watch plastered all over, it does accentuate the watch a lot more than the previous ad. Its appearance is subtle yet eye catching and holds its own next to the striking George Clooney.

Now a days one doesn't have to be very talented in order to get screen time, anyone can do.And instant fame is not the only thing offer, the twentieth century technology as offered unlimited options of music, shopping, and entertainment.
