NIKE

In the daily newspaper "The Economic Times", every wednesday we get the Brand Equity paper, which is all about advertisements. I like it very much. But this time I do not agree with what they had to say in their verdict on Nike's ad. In the image you can see what they said about the ad. Their verdict had a thumbs down to this ad. The reason being the length of commercial.

I strongly feel that if a ad successfully conveys its message to the target audience, its a good ad. And Nike has done just that. This global sportswear brand has captured the mind of all cricket lovers with its larger-than-life cricket commercial.

Time should not be the criteria to judge a ad. I just don't understand what the Brand Equity panel of judges mean by saying "Maybe its the length of commercial". There's a element of doubt in their verdict.

Well no matter what others say about this ad, I feel this is a larger than life cricket commercial. Nike just did it.......

The Bloody Slaughter

Strong Message: An Animal liberation activist protesting against Canada's annual Seal hunt poses as a slaughtered Seal outside the Canadian consulate in Sydney on thursday.

This image appeared in the daily newspaper Deccan Chronicle in the "Picture of the Day" section.

I appeal to all the bloggers who visit my site to copy-paste this image and publish it in your blog in protest against the Seal slaughter. Together we can make a difference.

WASIM AKRAM

Yesterday at the same time I had told that Cricket is a funny game. Pakistan were in a good position, the West Indies team were 168 for the loss of 4 wickets and they had lost there Captain Brain Lara. But the West Indies team made a good comeback and won the first match of the World Cup.
What Pakistan lacks now is a player like WASIM AKRAM. He is my all time favourite bowler. A player of his class would have changed the game result.

In todays match the Australian team is in a good position against the weaker team of Scotland. Captain Ricky Ponting has registered the first century of this World Cup. But I would praise the Scotland team for the way they have performed. They have restricted the Australian team to some extent. A decent bating performance and a lot of luck would bring the biggest upset of the year. My best wishes to the Scotland team.

Sachin - Sehwag partnership.

Iam a big cricket fan. today its the first match, and Pakistan looks like they have a upper hand in this match. As i write this post the west indies team are 168 at the loss of 4 wickets. They received a blow when their captain Brain Lara was dismissed for 37 runs. But cricket is a funny game. you never know what happens next.

I love the opening pair of Sachin and Sehwag. And I hope they strike the form at the right time. I feel they would play a important role in the coming matches. And I would pray to God that the devil in the image would not cause any problems to our cricket team. By the way its me who has done this image. I used the evil wallpaper and merged it with the batsman, using Adobe Photoshop. The image looks cool! I hope you would agree with me!

ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP 2007

Women of substance

Happy WOMEN'S DAY to all.

For the women of the world, the Day is an occasion to review how far they come in their struggle for Equality, Peace and Development.

This is my way of honouring them and wishing them.....

I made this image in Adobe Photoshop. Hope you like this....

SAVE MOTHER EARTH

I saw this image in a leading financial daily newspaper "The Business Line" in the cartoon corner. I like this image because it carries a very important message in a funny way.
I used this image to practice my work in Adobe ILLUSTRATOR. Later i changed it to a JPEG file. I thought it was a good idea to share this with everyone, as it carries a message with it.
