KASMARA: MyLaurier Portal Ad - 01.25.2010
:: MyLaurier portal ad - 01.25.2010 ::


for some reason the Co-Curricular Record reminds me of the TV show Chuck. honestly, it’s purely coinincidental. i wanted to have a “hello, my name is…” theme to the ad. get it? too obvious?

speaking of obvious, i know the Strong Thesis Statement ad is pure obviosuness (is that a word?) but i liked the image and it’s a nice and clean looking ad. simple? done.

KASMARA: MyLaurier Portal Ad - 01.18.2010

the Leave the Pack Behind is just so in your face because of that image. it just MAKES the ad. without it i don’t think it would have the impact. being an on & off again smoker i wanted to have something that would say it all. i’m really glad with it even though playing with the text took a little bit of time not to mention recreating the dude’s shoulder.

for the Learning Centre they specifically wanted something with Shakespeare so i figure why not make it humourous? unfortunately i couldn’t use the original image in its entirety. in the original image Shakes is sitting at a desk with a computer but due to spacing i had to cut that out. oh well.

KASMARA: Rob Zombie & Lionel Ritchie
:: team AWESOME - Rob Zombie & Lionel Ritchie ::

i remember hearing about this way back. Rob Zombie and Lionel Ritchie doing a duet of ‘Brick House’ for Zombie’s movie House of 1000 Corpses (still haven’t seen… no thanks). hearing it was one thing but ti actually see them performing is another thing. you have to give Zombie credit… he does an awesome job even if he is a little out of his element.

KASMARA: MyLaurier Portal Ad - 01.11.2011
:: MyLaurier portal ad - 01.11.2010 ::


i like how the Psychological Society and Find Your Feminism. i was actually worried i would make the Feminism ad stand out too much or make it obvisious. thankfully, i was able to find something that was subtle enough.

the other ads are just humourous. who wouldn’t want a giant whiteout bottle? the Note-Takers ad is just cute. yup, sometimes i can do cute too… j hope it’s not habit forming. that’d be bad. i’d lose my street cred.
