Objective

Principal Footwear was aiming for successful and hoping to grow and to raise the new blood skater to be fashionable bold. Principal Footwear also aiming for the brand be successful product worldwide and reach the big market.





The Idea

Principal Footwear has got a lot of good view from a local professional skateboarder such as Hariz Mansor, Porock Luis and other professional skateboarders. Most of the pro prefer to use local brand than international because of the quality is the same. Although the quality is same but is only meant for sport ware only.

So the central idea is ‘Unique Color’ strong image differentiation: importance of color, good quality, young people, up to date, reasonable prices = “to put fashion on an industrial level”.


Campaign Strategy

The principle footwear is to make people feel free to choose or to express their own design on the shoes. People can customize their own shoes the way they want it and be different. The unique of the design is the design can be picking from the following design that has been express.

Advertising Campaigns - Experiment

These are the experiment that I have done before proceed to the final. I learn a lot of thing during this experiment. The color must be fit and know the tone or which color that fit right with the color of the shoes. The quality of the printing was not good and you can see in the first picture on the PRINCIPLE, the shading effect from the printer. The mounting board that I use is quite hard to cut and the result its not smooth.




The expression that I use in one of the poster is "BE THREATENING" which is sound dangerous was also wrong because its sound harmful for the people.





These are the first experiment on which part that I should choose to cut off and will be replace with the pattern.


Advertising Campaigns - Color

Im making a color pattern or color abstract for my final assignment. Im using a water color on a A3 drawing paper.

Copywriting for Advertising - Radio Ads

Radio Ads.

Coke Summer Sound Radio Ad

This radio advert is mainly sound effects. It begins with a conversation which is meant to sound like they are trying out sound effects for the coke advert. The man says 'can I try out a few coke summer sound effects' followed by people saying 'yes' every sound effect is followed by 'yes' until the actual sound of someone opening a coke and drinking it. This is not a sound effect but the real sound of someone enjoying the coke, the people saying 'yes' think it's a sound effect because it sound so appetising. Additionally, this is to make the audience want a coke as the sound of bottle top coming off and someone drinking it would make the audience thirsty. There is speech saying 'I'm no longer thirst' which is persuasive for the audience as it makes it seem like an opinion. There is then non diegetic sound of the coca cola signature jingle which causes recognistion, this is followed by their slogan 'open happiness' which emphasises awareness.

Earl Sweatshirt (Thebe Neruda Kgositsile)

[Hook:]
Something sinister to it
Pendulum swinging slow, a degenerate moving
Through the city with criminal stealth, welcome to enemy turf
Harder than immigrants work, golf is stitched into my shirt
Get up off the pavement brush the dirt up off my psyche
Psyche, psyche

[Verse 1:]
It's probably been twelve years since my father left, left me fatherless
And I just used to say I hate him in dishonest jest
When honestly I miss this nigga, like when I was six
And every time I got the chance to say it I would swallow it
Sixteen, I'm hollow, intolerant, skipped shots
I storm that whole bottle, I'll show you a role model
I'm drunk pissy pissing on somebody front lawn
Trying to figure out how and when the fuck I missed moderate
Momma often was offering peace offerings
Think, wheeze cough, scoffing and he's off again
Searching for a big brother, Tyler was that
Plus he liked how I rap, the blunted mice in the trap
Too Black for the White kids and too White for the Blacks
From honor roll to to cracking locks up off them bicycle racks
I'm indecisive, I'm scatterbrained and I'm frightened it's evident
And them eyes where he hiding all them icicles at

[Hook:]
Something sinister to it
Pendulum swinging slow, a degenerate moving
Through the city with criminal stealth, welcome to enemy turf
Harder than immigrants work, golf is stitched into my shirt
Get up off the pavement brush the dirt up off my psyche
Psyche, psyche

[Verse 2:]
Time lapse, bars rhymin' heart's bottomless pit
Was mobbin deep as 96 Havoc and Prodigy did
We were the potty-mouth posse crash the party and dip
With all belongings then toss em out to the audience
Nothing was fucking awesome, trying to make it from the bottom
This is feeling as hard as Vince Carter's knee cartilage is
Supreme garment and weed gardeners garnishing spliffs
With Keef particles and entering apartments with 'zine article
Tolerance through boundaries, I know you happy now
Craven and these Complex fuck niggas done track me down
Just to be the guys that did it, like I like attention
Not the type where niggas trying to get a raise at my expense
Supposed to be grateful, right, like thanks so much you made my life
Harder and the ties between my mom and I are strained and tightened
Even more than they were before all of this shit
Been back a week and I already feel like calling it quits

[Hook:]
Something sinister to it
Pendulum swinging slow, a degenerate moving
Through the city with criminal stealth, welcome to enemy turf
Harder than immigrants work, golf is stitched into my shirt
Get up off the pavement brush the dirt up off my psyche
Psyche, psyche


Meanings:


Earl discusses his fatherless life and what his life has become since then and the options he has (“Time lapse, bars rhyming heart’s bottomless pit”).
‘Chumming’ is the process of adding blood and guts to the ocean to attract sharks to a specific area. Earl could be hurt about his past with his father and even though his wounds weren’t physical, he was in pain. His pain is clear and this could have attracted ‘predators’.

I’m like to play a strategy game like Dota, I’ve been playing dota not so long ago, I started to play dota when I was 18 years old, Dota is a strategy game which is contain of 5 player from each team, there will only be 2 team will play in one game. The best thing about dota is you can feel the excitement when you are able to kill the enemy and destroy the tower and the fountain. My role in dota is a “Carry” and “hard carry or tanker”. The role of a carry is to kill and lead the team because Carry hero normally bring the team to win, if the carry of the game failed then the game will be lose.
