MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION..."STEAL OUR IDEAS"


BESIDES MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND WOMAN, OF COURSE.

Often times I find myself contemplating a future in the Ad biz. I understand it takes a great amount of dedication, hard work and creativity just to get your hand on the door knob (forget getting your foot in the door). After all, the Advertising Industry is one of the hardest industries to get into (hey, we're in a recession...we don't have the money to market and advertise our products). The majority of the time emotions run high, leaving a "nobody can do the job better than me" attitude. While staying positive is probably the best and only thing you can do, we are all human. During the down times in a struggling designer's route to success, I search the internet for photos, videos, ads, web sites, that offer me inspiration of invaluable proportions. This website is great for creatives who feel like they are in a rut:

Adam and Jon are Creatives in the ad business. They produce award winning campaigns for companies big and small, nationwide. It is basically a blog dedicated to Creative Director's and In-House Clients that need an idea, but cannot think of one. They are brilliant, and the basis of "stealing their ideas" instead of asking them for work goes to show how thinking outside of the box can be more successful than ever.

RE-VAMPED MANYOU MEDIA SITE IN THE WORKS!

I am currently in the works of making heavy changes to the Manyou Media web site because it needed a complete over haul. Not only was it tacky looking, but it looked very amateur and showed a small share of the work that I have completed. Due to a higher volume of work, I felt I needed to come off as a lot more professionial to potential clients. This new site will be marketed heavily throughout Blogger, Twitter, and Facebook through the next few weeks so stay tuned....Cheers.

Until then...enjoy the old one, www.manyoumedia.com


P.S.- If anybody has good photography skills, I need to take some pictures for the new layout. Contact me if you have any free time on your hands and would like to practice shooting portrait style photography...thanks.
