Title: Licked

Agency: My own brain dot com

Product/Brand: Any Portable Ice Cream

Copy & Art by yours truly

Inspiration: I was inspired by the book “Hey, Whipple Squeezed This!” and came up with some ideas that i got from reading it. Mostly have to do with being witty and humorous. I like playing with words and phrases. I like creating copies that could hook the pique of my target audience’ s dirty mind, oops but hey, it’s a matter of opinion and open-mindedness. *wink*

Outcome: I showed this print ad to a CEO of an Ad Agency and I gotta admit that he looked a little surprised by the way he had dropped his jaw. He thought it was pretty funny and playful. He wanted to hire me but he can’t because there are no openings. But he said that he believes that i can create better ads as long as i keep my focus and passion to it. He liked how simple yet appealing this ad is.

I must say that this is my favorite mocked print ad so far. It’s simple but yet it delivers the message in a fun imaginable way.

Title: What A Gloomy Vacay!

Client: RHA

Product/Brand/Service: TSET

Copy & Art by Yours Truly

***Picture was taken by me from our last Hawaii trip (nope, no timeshare involved)

Inspiration: I just happened to like this picture and want to use it as an art. Then my creative imagination light bulb turned on and came up to this idea. The photo looks scary as silhouettes of the trees and oceans looked spooky but yet it has an appeal. I was thinking that the art would justify the message of having or experiencing something that is scary like a nightmare but yet at the same time shows a picture of a nice vacation, but gloomy!

Rationale: My previous clients from being an Account Coordinator for RHA for their TSET won’t stop complaining about their maintenance fees every month (depends on the contract - could be even, odd, monthly, annual, biannual, etc.) and the hidden charges they are paying for while still in the contract. The timeshares alone are a burden, then add these maintenance fees - yeah, a nightmare. I compared it to Halloween because it’s the only spooky and scary season that i can use if i am going to settle for seasons (summer - vacation season, get it?) Timeshares are nightmares rhyme perfectly, I used the word “slap” because what would you do if someone is having a nightmare , “slap the heck out of them so they can wake up, right?” hope i make sense here. lol

Again, i didn’t put the company’s logo as this is just a mocked print ad. Feel free to critic.
