Hi guys, here again to talk to you and today i want to talk to you about the ads i made for and Oregon business. My class went to Oregon on a school trip and we each had to interview a business with the groups we were divided into. I was in a group with Kira, Jude, Thomas, and Ben. We interviewed Clarks Restaurant. It is a great place and the food there is spot on, I recommend it to anyone that loves burgers, or milkshakes, and even if you don’t i still think its a treat to try.

My draft one shows the Clarks restaurant with all the chairs stacked up because i thought it was a good photo and i wanted to incorporate it in my add somehow. It was rejected right away and my teacher told me that it doesn’t relate to the restaurant and doesn’t have a call to action. After getting that feedback i could actually see how the photo was not relevant so I agreed to change it. I also made a note that it was too dark and didn’t give the audience a great feeling because of that so i tried to get a brighter picture for draft 2

After draft one i decided to use the same photo in different lightings to try and see which one would be better for Clarks. As such i had to versions of draft 2 pictured to the left. I personally like the lighter one even though I think it looks to unnatural. The darker one kind of makes it look like someone died there and that’s not a vibe i want to give.

You can see above that my classmates seem to agree with me. For the class feedback i showed the darker one because i thought that that one would need critique and i wanted to see what my classmates thought. Their criticism was helpful in the sense that I knew that I shouldn’t use the darker ad.

For this draft i tried to fix up the lighter ad in draft 2 but i changed the photo. I think that this works better because you can read the writing a lot more than you could in draft 2.

Finally for this draft I changed the photo AGAIN. I tampered a little with the lighting to try to make it look better but I don’t know how well I like that. I think that if I might focus on the food more and put a picture of the food for the ad.

Be sure to leave a comment below and tell me which one you liked best!

Hi guys! It’s great to talk to you again, today I am here to talk to you about the time I went to Oregon! This was for a school trip so sadly it wasn’t a vacation but I still got to have a lot of fun. We had just finished reading “The Highest Tide” by Jim Lynch. This was perfect because during the trip we went to all of these amazing places that related and were talked about in the book.

During the trip we were all divided into groups and for each business that we visited, a group had to make an add for that business. This was just like the Deep cove business ads that we did. I was in a group with Thomas, Ben, Kira, and Jude. We were the first group to interview a business and we had Clark’s Restaurant. It was amazing! The food there tasted great and we were all satisfied afterwards. You can check the ad I made for them at my post, Oregon ads!

For me, the best thing on the trip was probably either the food, or the Highlife Adventures which is where we were basically zip lining from tree to tree. At the second to last line, their was a lake and you had the option of a hand drag, foot drag, butt soak, or full soak. The majority of my classmates did the full soak and a little more then half of those who did got stuck in the middle of the lake. Those who got stuck we decided to call “drowners”. The tourguide/instructor had to climb on the line to get the drowners out of the lake. I had originally planned to be boring and go for a hand drag because I didn’t have a change of cloths, but then the teachers said that we would go back to the campsite right after and I could change. So then I made a deal with Mathew so that if I did the full soak first, he would do it right after. So I did and I got soaked but Mathew on the other hand got stuck in the lake, joining the drowners, and got full drenched. After that we had to walk for a little ways to the last line where we crossed back to our classmates. Our teachers then said that we were running late and we couldn’t go back to the campsite so I had an uncomfortable time on the bus.

One of the best places we went to eat was probably John’s Incredible Pizza company simply because there was an arcade in the restaurant and it was a buffet. For the best tasting food, I would honestly have to say… Nisa’s Thai Kitchen. I think that it had great seasoning, the staff were nice and because I’m Asian and there was rice. I highly recommend the place and I’m sure everyone in my class agrees when I say the food there was superb.

Here are some awesome photos from the trip!
