Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

So here's the deal
I have an interview next wednesday with an ad agency for a summer job working in the creative department. They called me in after looking at my resume because they want to view my portfolio and go over it. CURRENTLY my portfolio contains my school examples and mock-ups as well as the necessary briefs, as well as a bunch of work I've done for my site, but they want what essentially comes up to a bunch of random product ads as well.
My problem is, there are a lot of products and a lot of demographics and being told "just mock up some ads for some things" with no real direction is a deep pool to swim in.
so I need some of this creative SE++ power
basically all you have to do is come up with a product (this can be a real product or something you just make up as long as the product isn't penis jetpacks or something), and a particular target market (i.e. teenagers, adults, nerds, shut-ins, dog lovers, cat haters, small children, etc) for said product. You could also throw in whether the ad should be web or print (magazines) but that's not really necessary since if it's not there I"m just gonna pick one. I'll pick a whole bunch at random and mock up the ads and probably put some in my portfolio and I dunno maybe if someone comes up with some really astounding idea for a product and target market I'll give you a prize although I have no idea what that prize would be
if you skipped to the end without reading all that: name a product, name a market, let me make an advertisement. cheers.

That guy might be a worse person to ask.

You could have a cool montage of people pausing and checking something out, but never reveal what it is...
"Whoah, whats that?"
"What?"
"That!" *points to computer screen*
-cut to some dude walking and he gets a text, opens it, stops walking and somebody nearby has to walk around him, turns their head all, WTH-- "Whoah wait--"
-cut to some grand mother looking over her grand daughter's macbook, finishing previous dude's line- "What's that?!"
-show a clip of someone typing in an email address,
etc etc.
I think that would be cool. Set it some music that builds up and then close it some dude going "I wonder what they will come up with next?"
Dude next to him shows his phone, "Did you see this?"
There, its like I'm doing all the work for you!
pffft, what the hell do you know
