xbox one

This is the Xbox one, its the newest Xbox released by Microsoft late last year. It was the highly anticipated game system after the Xbox 360 system. The Xbox One is more of a block. A Blu-ray player has been added to the Xbox. It can fit well with flat screens. The Xbox one has half a terabyte, with 500GB of internal drive. Better high resolution graphics, better display. The Xbox has better Wi-Fi. It has a HDMI output, it can be connected to a TV or a projector. There's also a HDMI input, to plug in your cable provider. So in the screen you can be playing your video game while you have the TV on. You can Skype on TV using the Kinect system.


California Rivalry

There are a couple of famous rivalries in the state of California that range in all sports, but UCLA vs USC is one of the biggest ones that come into mind. Every year when these two teams play most of southern California is watching the game, you grow up cheering one team or the other. The design of the t-shirt is brought to you by The Forest Lab. The design is pretty basic but it outlays the California flag, and it shows the California bear standing up on two roaring at a fighting trojan. The trojan is in the color of red to promote USC colors. The bear is the bruin of UCLA. This is a great t shirt to add to your closet if you cheer on one of the the two teams.

Knowing


This is a movie poster for the film of Knowing with Nicolas Cage. The poster is to inform people about that the the film comes out in summer of 2009. The design is dull, the whole poster is in black and the only thing that has has color is the planet Earth. The planet Earth seems to look as if it were burning up, but the things that are falling off the planet are numbers. The poster can be effective because it does not give anything away about the movie. Which can bring people in to go watch the movie or push people away from the movie.
The idea is to put all the attention on planet Earth and how it seems that it's burning up. Under the title of the film there is a sentence that says "What happens when the numbers run out". That can serve up as a cliff hanger as well. Do not watch the movie, it sucks.

Apple watches

These are the future in technology, they are Apple watches. They only have two different sizes 38 mm vs 42 mm in height as well. There are three different watch designs that are Apple watch, Apple watch sport, and Apple watch edition. Apple watch has a range of stylish bands. Apple watch sport have colorful durable bands. Apple watch edition stylish crafted bands. The watches are water resistant not water proof, so if a couple of were dropped on the watch or if your wrist is sweaty then it can still work. However if the watch is placed inside a pool, it probably won't work.
The idea of having watches that have all the apps that a phone can have can be both positive and negative. The watches can be positive for people who have an Iphone as well. So people can just pick one up and leave the other incase the other battery dies. Negative not lots of people will have an Iphone or the watch so you will have people coming up to you asking to see it and touching it to see if it actually works. The Apple watch is supposed to be released in early 2015.

Blue Eyes White Dragon


This is the Blue Eyes White Dragon card from Yu-Gi-Oh card game. The heigh of the card is 3.37 inches x width is 2.38 inches. It appears shiny because the card it self is a holographic card. When the cards are holographic it means a couple of things, it is the main card found in starter packs, the card is rare or just really good. The letters as well are holographic. Since the Blue Eyes White Dragon is starter pack holographic card the color of the card is a medium yellow hue. It has the illustration of the dragon put in a little box and there is a description of what the dragon does, or the meaning behind the card. It has the attack and defense and well. The idea of Yu-Gi-Oh are excellent, however the illustration box of the dragon should be bigger so people can value the art of the illustration.

Fire and ice baby

This is Trojan's Fire and Ice latex condoms box for 10 condoms. On the box it describes the condoms to give a warming and tingling sensations for both partners. The box colors are divided in two colors that are red violet color and a blue color. Both colors are cool colors and that kind of just throws off the box design. If it says that it is fire and ice, the person buying the condoms would think that fire should be red, red orange. Not red violet. The ice does not matter because blue goes in well with. Another design flaw of the box is that fire and ice remind the consumer of Icy Hot, which is a cream that starts off cool then heats up on the certain part of your body that is causing you pain. Does this work the same for both partners? Starts off cool then heats up? One would only imagine.

Crystal Head


This product is a Crystal Head Vodka bottle. The Crystal Head Vodka bottle was brought to America from Crystal Head Vodka company. The company is from Canada. The alcohol in the bottle is vodka, and it 40% alc./vol. The design of the bottle is of a human skull. This is a great design idea because it is a skull. Lots of people are attracted to the bottle because it is a skull. A design flaw, it would have been impressive if the bottle was as big as a real human skull. However, if the bottle were to be bigger the more alcohol it would contain and the more expensive the bottle would be.

Find a new job.


Jobsintown.de, a German website ran some advertisements promoting "Life's too short for the wrong job". The advertisement above shows a man inside the machine that screens the bag on a monitor showing what you have in the bag. The message of the advertisement is affective from the bat. It is effective to show that a person should not do a job that a machine can do. Jobsintown.de carried more of these ads during 2006, and they were all effective. They all show people closed inside working in cramped spaces.
The meaning behind the advertisement leaves a impact on people, because it makes you wonder. In all these machines there really is not a person doing the job for the machine. The message is simple, if your job sucks quit it if you believe there is a better opportunity out there for you.

NFL Fake Jerseys


The jerseys in the left is a real authentic stitched NFL jersey that starts at off at $150 dollars. The jersey on the right is a fake NFL jersey that is also stitched and start off in some places online for $15 per jersey. These fake NFL jerseys, have the tags from the league, and the rubber seal on the neck area. Fake NFL jersey's has been a growing problems over the years because China has been able to produce close to the real jerseys for a really cheap price. The jerseys range through out all sports, not only the NFL, it has just taken over the NFL because jerseys are expensive.

The idea's of purchasing fake jerseys instead of real jerseys because in the long run it saves you money. In all honestly, not every one is able to tell the difference between a real or fake jersey unless you really stare at the jersey, or tell someone that it is fake. Darren  One of the only problems that is encountered with purchasing fake jerseys is that some creators of the jerseys can tend to make really bad jerseys where the teams last name is misspelled, wrong number or wrong team. Of course, the NFL has been able to close down some of the websites, but it is still a big impossible task to block each website from selling NFL fake jerseys.
