Soap Ad Self Critique
Throughout the production of this project, I have been working on ways to figure out the Affect Effects software. In the beginning, everything seemed so confusing but now I've grasp it a little more. I'm still in the process of remembering certain factors regarding the program, but I feel confindent that my productions from this point on, will improve. My soap advertisement is OK, in my opinion. I tried to incorporate everything we have learned in this past month and i just stuck with the basics. Overall, Im satisfied.

Research Topics
Existence/Extinction
I thought about experimenting with the idea of existence. Questions regarding: How existence came about? and Why we as human beings exist? I want explore the general meaning of existence; an understanding living things. Existence is not only a way of living, but also the presence or occurrence of something in a particular place or situation.
The Human Condition
The human condition can be approached in several ways. I thought about discovering the stages and developments in life, humans encounter. Issues concerning our anatomy, metaphysical state of being, sexuality, habitats, cultures, etc.
GREEN
I brainstormed about everything green. US currency, nature, traffic light=go, Marvel Comics “HULK”, Aliens, Camouflage, Dragons, Military forces, etc. Maybe creating abstracts production about how green is observed and its significance.
Sticking with the green idea....I've decided to explore the galaxy and aliens. Their worldview of earth and the way indivduals on each continent interact with their environment. I will create short animations placing them in certain aspects of our culture. Dealing with political and social issue, entertainment, crime, etc. Although this will be a challenge, I'm quite positive i can pull it off. I intend on making these animations comical and each will have a centalized theme or lesson towards the end, almost like a mini series. In some cases, audio will be present.
Ornamentation
Exploring different styles of ornamentation.

Glade Candles Browsing through the
November 2006 issue of Ebony magazine, I found an advertisement for Glade. Advertising and introducing the scented oil candles trio, these Christmas fragrances include apple cinnamon, French vanilla, and glistering snow. The image is very family oriented, suggesting that the product can be essential and enjoyable by a wide audience and doesn’t discriminate against age or gender. Glancing at this Ad, I was reminded of my family, home sweet home, and of course the holidays.
The female and male subjects in this Ad appear to be admiring the candles in their own way. These are my critiques of the personal revelations the members of this family are experiencing while viewing the candles: The father is maybe enjoying the smell, the mother, possible having a discussion with someone about the candles, and the young girl dazed by something she finds interesting (color, brightness of flame, etc).
Another important factor is the consumer would receive three candles if purchased, which would make this a money-saving product. The description of this Ad states, “Quickly fills the while room with style and your favorite holiday scents. They’ll get everyone’s attention.” And indeed, it gets everyone’s attention, as we observed in the family portrait.
This advertisement for Glade candle’s is very calm, smooth, and suttle, but the candles are being glorified is a very powerful way. As if to say, these are the best and are ranked higher than any other. Personally, it also seems to have some type of religious significance.
