EOC WEEK 8: CREATIVE CONTENT

My major is photography so I plan to make a print ad, like that could be run in a magazine. The ad will be vertically oriented and letter size.

My product is ‘Sakura’ seaweed flavored rice crackers from the sea ports of Japan.

 I plan to have a picture of a Japanese woman. She will be dressed in traditional Japanese clothing or possibly a trenchcoat. She will be dark and mysterious.  She will be on one side, next to a large barrel full of the Japanese rice crackers. She will be holding some rice crackers and showing them to the viewer.
Since packaging was invented in 1898 and this took place before then, the crackers will be sold in a barrel with none of the clear plastic packaging we are used to.
 It will be very dark, as she is supposed to represent the mysterious lady who met Phileas Fogg on the waterfront of Yokohama Japan. The tone will be dark and somber, as if the spies could get her at any moment. There will be a spot light on the product, so while she will be in the shadows, the product will be clearly visible, as will the story printed on the barrel. Darkness will obscure the scene to make the viewer focus on just the product.
On top of the image, superimposed, will be the ad script, saying ‘Try Phileas Fogg’s Sakura seaweed snack, straight from the seaport of Japan to a store near you’. It will be using an old fashioned font or maybe a Japanese-ish one to make it look exotic.
On the barrel will be the script of Phileas Fogg’s adventure.
