Dodge for a Cause 6
Posted in: Advertising, Design, Photography
Last year you may remember I was the poster child for Dodge for a Cause 5. I had the pleasure of helping develop the concept for the Dodge for a Cause 6 ad campaign for Perceptive Software‘s annual charity dodgeball tournament benefitting the Kansas City chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). You’ll notice I made a cameo as the limo driver. Also, another big thanks to Ron Berg Photography for another amazing image! Registration is open now at the Dodge for a Cause site.

Dodge for a Cause 5
Posted in: Advertising, Commercials, Design, Photography
This year I had the pleasure of helping develop the Dodge for a Cause ad campaign for Perceptive Software‘s annual charity dodgeball tournament benefitting the Kansas City chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). And by helping I mean letting them use my ugly mug to throw dodgeballs at. It was a lot of fun and I think it turned out really well. Also, my daughters Mia and Sophie are in the commercial as well (they are the ones at the breakfast table). A big thanks to Ron Berg Photography for making me look good–or at least better!

Mad Men
Posted in: Advertising, Television
After hearing about AMC’s Mad Men
for a couple of years now I decided to see what all of the hullabaloo was about and I have to say that the critics are right–it’s one of the best shows that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been depressed ever since Deadwood
went off of the air.
In case you haven’t heard of Mad Men, AMC says the series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Jon Hamm), the biggest ad man (and ladies’ man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.

Apple Ads
Posted in: Advertising, Apple, Branding, Commercials, Design
Webdesignerdepot has collected a really thorough collection of Apple ads. This post really took me back. I remember my mother coming home with an Apple IIe brand new in the box. I was 12 years old and had no idea what a computer was let alone what you could do with it but within a year a was a master at Apple Basic and was wowing my friends with crude, silly little stick figure animations. Thus began my love affair with Apple.
