Advertising
Advertising students who were in class the day we analyzed the Old Spice commercials might enjoy this Julian Assange parody.
Tuesday
We had student presentations of questions.
The class had a short time to figure out logistics for our Christmas party on Thursday. Students will present their ads at that time.
During the last 15" of class, students did the course evaluation.
To do for next class;
Have your ad ready to present. It would be a wise idea to stop by the room and make sure you can bring the ad up on the computer. The password is the same as the user name.

Advertising
We had three students present advertising questions today.
The instructor used the doc cam to show a brochure which was a good example of how to use character fonts with type and illustrations.
We discussed who would bring what for the party. We are going to order pizzas. Some students will bring sodas, brownies, cookies, etc. The instructor is bringing the tableware and a salad.
Next class:
Student presentations
Be working on your question and your ad
Bring $3 for the pizza fund. One of the students is in charge of the funds. Another has agreed to order the pizzas. The instructor has learned of a pizza firm in Elizabeth who delivers regularly to the department, so they know where to find us.
