make custom t-shirts. i ran for class president a while back in middle school. i made t-shirts. people wanted them. i said they could have one if they voted for me. i destroyed the other kids who were running and took my job as president. bottom line: people love t-shirts.

oh haha. well if you have to make posters and ads and stuff,
you could make things that have a big picture of an iPod in the center of the page. and below it put 1 or 2 words, like 'curvaceous' or 'figure' or something like that. i saw some ad like that a while ago, it sounds corny but if you put a cool background behind it with like a swirling color pattern or something like that, it can look really cool.

space is good.. :) i've drawn all the ipods all angles on adobe illustrator,, so that'll be easy :) and i have good backgrounds,,
so that's a good idea..
if you'd like i can send you some of the designs later on when i finish them, to get your opinion??
you've been very helpful, if anything else comes to mind, you know what to do :)
thanks again espanolipod.. :)

You could make a poster with a t-shirt on it.

And follow it up with a t-shirt with a picture of the poster with the t-shirt on it.

Instead of a shirt with a poster on it, print posters on shirts and hang them.

That'll catch people's eyes.

hi i got an idea, what about i have a picture of a bride walking down an isle and in the corner put a blue ipod nano, with this caption: "what about your something blue??" or something like that.. ofcourse with a few grafic effects and stuff it wont just be a plain picture with some writing at the bottom??
what do you think?
zdesign at 2007-11-15 18:05:46 >
# 12 Re: designing a campaign?
What kind of "grafic effects" do you mean? Your description makes me think of graffiti-style swirls and stuff around the iPod.

I'd have the bride walking toward the camera, that way the iPod can be close and bigger.

# 13 Re: designing a campaign?
yeah swirls and stuff..
i'll try both walking towards and away from the camera..
but i think the picture should better be "b&w"?? dont you think??
and in the bottom right corner white swirls and the blue iPod "big"
can you attach things here?? maybe if its possible i can post them both here??
and you guys can decide?

You can attach, you have to click "Post Your Reply" rather than Quick Reply.

Black and white would be good, but obviously the iPod would have to be blue.

# 15 Re: designing a campaign?
your idea sounds awesome! that's a great idea with the blue iPod, it would be very eye-catching.
