This is something that has really annoyed me for a while now, but only now do I decide to blog about it and get my feelings out there, to see if anyone else has the same annoyance with it as I do. My issue at the moment is, adverts. Not just any adverts; full page adverts and adverts that are EVERYWHERE.
The homepage, it is where people go to find out about you. Although it’s not always the first page everyone will see. It’s still one of the most important pages you put onto your website. So, in this modern web era, what is best for your frontpage?
This is something I hear a lot of, people are always telling me that this is the best social network for people to be on.
At one point it was MySpace, then it became Facebook and now everyone is migrating to Twitter. But what is the best social network?

I hear people going on about the new biggest game out like Halo or Grand Theft Auto and they are so excited. But the excitement for me is gone – sure some games used to get me excited, I remember waiting for the new Pokemon to come out and wanting it so badly! But not anymore and I’ll tell you why and it’s a good reason.
I have the internet.
This is something I am so glad to get out in the open and I sit here wondering if anyone else does what I do.
When I see a sign I don’t tend to look at what the sign is advertising, I focus less and less on that and
I focus more and more on what the message is written in.
I have been annoyed recently by typography incorrectly used and there are so many examples
of where I’ve seen it used in a horrible manner.
Something that has been highlighted on my feed the last couple of weeks is people not responding to tweets “@” them.
Which to me is a big no no when it comes to Twitter, because Twitter is about connecting and communicating and if people aren’t responding they are defeating the object. I’ve been paying particular attention to this since it was highlighted and I have noticed it is happening on more cases.
The current economic climate means people need to be attentive about what they spend – is this the best value? Can we even afford this? A lot has to be backed up by hard evidence, especially if your organisation is in the third sector and especially if you’re a massive trusted brand. So, what warrants the idea of rebranding and how do you do it as a charity?
My thoughts on the logic of perfume advertisements
Advertisements for perfumes really confuse me. Never have I seen an advertisement for perfume where lots of positive messages about it have attacked our tv screens or never have I watched an advert that has been screaming with perfume persuasion.
In fact, perfume adverts are very different. Look at the Dolce and Gabbana advert for an example; it features a very pretty woman and a very handsome man on a boat, in the middle of an ocean with very little clothing. They proceed to passionately kiss each other on this boat which is all very romantic but there isn’t any mention that this is an advert for perfume and we don’t even see what the perfume actually looks like until the end of the advert. It makes me wonder how these types of adverts actually work.
Today (July 4th) – The band I think are going to be the next big thing in the rock world released their new video, named “Change”. It doesn’t seem too much to begin with, all you manage to hear is the director shout and the video begins, you ignore the seemingly innocent text at the beginning defining the word “change”.
This is the first major blog post from @sighnomoree (Roslyn), who is looking to gain experience in Advertising and PR, she has also applied to become a student of Advertising and PR at her local college.
In her first blog – she looks at the adverts she hates the most and why.

This blog focuses on a hugely important issue, one that seems to be troubling even the most advanced and knowledgeable of marketing folk, something so space age it’s been around for years now, so advanced not even your Gran could fully comprehend it’s magnitude of magnificence. (Google Drive is currently asking me to change “Gran” to “Granny”, political correctness gone mad!)
Today I aim to talk about QR codes.
