Advertising - HSBC's Latest Campaign


Following on from the toothpaste first I think we've got another one, a post about a bank! As always, interesting and clever stuff comes from anywhere so today I'm sharing HSBC's latest campaign with you. I was drawn to these ads as the idea is very similar to a few campaigns I did whilst I was on my Fashion Promotion degree. The idea behind these sorts of ads is to create an image and strap line which usually have multiple meanings. It's quite a simple idea but these are the sort of ads that really catch my attention, something with a meaningful message but are done with a big of humor.

I guess it took me back to why 2011 was such a great year for me. To graduate was the biggest achievement of my life, really something I will never forget. Boy was it a tough 4 years but it changed me. My professional attitude, ideas and skills all came on leaps and bounds. It may have been expensive but for what, the best 4 years of my life? Surely that makes it worth it.

I'm setting a few goals this year, to pass my driving test, find a full time job (and move away) and properly start my career. As well as the big 2 I am planning on widening my cooking skills, staying in good health and keep up with the old blogging! What are your big goals?

It's weird talking about a bank on here but it's all about the ads. There from here.

That's All Folks

The last font of the year.

Thinking about it, it's been quite an epic year for me. Moved to London, got fired, worked with some amazing people in Manchester, stayed in Brighton for a while, found lots of amazing blogs and gained lots of wonderful followers, wrote articles for various places, challenged myself to carry on with personal projects and had another lovely year with my girlfriend, Hollie.

It's been one of the hardest yet, in terms of uni and this has made blogging quite tricky but it will all be worth it(and over soon, most importantly).

Happy New Year everyone.
