birthday greetings…

to my favorite seven-year old!  i hope your birthday is filled with even more magic than this treasure chest!

advertising suggestion #427: update

the madness continues!  i just watched a head & shoulders commercial that claims you can “get back hair…”

call me crazy, but i really don’t think that’s something people are looking for in a shampoo/conditioner.

the commercial is advertising a restorative shampoo/conditioner that will restore your hair to its natural beauty, however the narrator’s slight pause, combined with poor copy editing totally muddy the message (or should i say they make the message a bit hairy?).  i think it’s safe to assume head & shoulders doesn’t want the audience to think they can “get back hair,” and while it’s likely that most people won’t make that assumption, a more carefully crafted script wouldn’t have given me something to blog about.

wind it up – check it out:

this is a flier i recently designed/illustrated for friends in a local burlesque troupe. be sure to check it out if you’re in town!
