Fresh Air



This is the cover page of the very first issue of Fresh Air, a camping/outdoor magazine my group created in school. The magazine is geared towards young adults who are interested in the outdoors and camping. It also targets young adults who want to to start camping more often, and have little or no outdoor experience. The magazine does not discriminate.

Come check out the magazine's launch at the Princess Street Red River College Atrium on April 1st! It will be a magazine fair where talented groups display their amazing magazines of all different interests, hobbies and topics.

The Fresh Air booth will be fun and exciting as there will be a celebrity appearance you won't want to miss! Come roast a marshmallow and enjoy a smore!

Travel Advertising




We created travel ads in our advertising class last week. While doing my own research (AKA. searching the web for travel ad concepts) I came across these two that I really liked! I think they are perfect examples of thinking outside of the 'box'.

And now I will show you the one I created for Falcon Lake, MB for my assignment. Drum roll please...

Proud To Be Canadian

The games kicked off with an embarassing pillar malfunction as well as hockey legend Wayne Gretzky lighting the beautiful couldron. Soon after, Alexandre Bilodeau received Canada's first gold medal of the 2010 Olympic games. Fast forward two weeks later and the Olympics are a blur. All of the golden moments mesh together, but you can't help but remember the BIG ones that stand out as MOMENTOUS, MAGNIFICENT, MAGICAL.

The PRIDE and PASSION Canadians felt when the men's hockey team won gold was chilling. Every street corner in every city was littered with red and white flags and honking horns. It was INCREDIBLE to feel so proud to be Canadian! As you probably know, our country broke a world record for the highest gold medal count achieved by one country at a single winter Olympics.

It is sad to turn on the tube and not see MEN'S SUPER G ALPINE MOGUL SLALOM EXTREME. But all good things must come to an end and Canada had the BEST ending to the games! I can't help but be EVEN more proud of our beautiful country and the amazing athletes, even more: PEOPLE that represent our country.
