are you sure?

last week I was asked to create an advertisement. it was at that moment that i realized i was in over my head. i don't have any extraordinary computer or design skills and have never made an advertisement in my life (unless you count fliers for relief society activities, which i don't). and to add to my chagrin, this ad is going into an international publication. what i ended up makeing was the computer equivalent of tape, scissors, and sloppy glueing with a little glitter thrown on at the end out of desperation. in making the ad i started to think about all the research, expertise and creativity that goes into the advertising business, and how i had none of these things.

it also reminded me of how much I love the show Mad Men and that I can't wait to see Don Draper's beautiful hair again in March.

provided for your entertainment is my sad little ad.
