Ben's ads!!

here are my first draft of ads for Ben's Breads and Bagels. (don't judge too harshly, i'm still working on updates ;) there's two main target audiences for this bakery- one is for cafes and restaurants that will buy the bread wholesale, and one is for the middle class consumer who will come in to buy a loaf or two of bread, or some incredibly soft bagels for their kids or business brunch...

SB KV 10

while most of my friends are gallivanting around the countryside, getting tan and having the time of their lives over spring break, i've decided to be disciplined and catch up/work ahead on schoolwork in my parents basement... here's what i've actually been up to so far over SB2010:


1) retouching old photos




2) reading this book (and recommending it to every 20something that i know)


3) and this magazine (weird? yes... i bought it in a moment of weakness when i was feeling rich.)


4) watching this awards show (and realizing that it's prob'ly more political than i'd like to know...)


5) avoiding this homework (yes, i developed a new name and logo, woot!... more to come on this matter...)



6) watching this documentary (WARNING: WILL CHANGE YOUR AMERICAN LIFE.)


and this documentary (and realizing that everyone in the fashion world really is anorexic...)


7) and this just in!!

(i might need to rework this one a bit... it's a little boring...)

good work, team. countdown to graduation: 60 days. ptl.
