From the syllabus: We are sometimes used to tech products being sold as the newest/fastest/latest/greatest based on specs and buzzwords. We can also get numb to this approach and start tuning it out.

Choose a technology product from the following categories:

Smartphone
portable reader/mobile device ie iPad, Kindle
Netbook

And come up with an advertising approach that sells the product via a humorous approach. It could be a play on the size of the devices, how much they do, how much we want (versus need) them, etc. Gentle sarcasm, self-depracating humor (Volkswagen was a master of this approach in the 60's and 70's), whatever. No specific size but be realistic (and I'd prefer they not be too small...) could this be an interesting size or proprtion? Think in terms of where this ad would run, ie newspaper, magazine.

1. Invent a new energy or rehydration (ie gatorade) power drink. Create a name, packaging and logo. Have fun, but keep it PG rated.
2. Create an ad offering a before and after contrast... this is what I felt like before I drank it, this is what I felt like after. Solution may be photographic, illustrated, whatever. AD size: up to you, but at least one 9x12" ad. (Could also be a spread or facing pages; a small before ad + a larger afterwards ad; sequential magazine pages. Project mounted and presented in a professional manner.
