dreams and aspirations:

Fist and foremost I'd like to do well in this class. As cheap as that may sound I have no shame in admitting I'd like to get a good grade. Of course that isn't the intended purpose of this introductory blog
.
Finding yourself reading this blog I can assume you'd like to know my interest in advertising and imagery, what I hope to gain from this course.

Truthfully I just want to learn how ads are "put together", so to speak. I think the industry of advertising is fascinating, how we fuel our consumerism. I am more interested in the "philosophy" of advertisement as opposed to the ways we put it into practice. That may not be as exciting as wanting to learn color schemes and flashy editing, but it is what it is.
