GOOGLE EXECUTIVE HAILED AS A HERO BY PROTESTERS IN EGYPT
I thought this article was pretty inspiring. Wael Ghonim was released from a detention facilty in Egypt monday night. Wael Ghonim is a Google Inc. executive who made a group on facebook which brought together thousands of people for the antigovernment protests that have been going on for 3 weeks. I thought it was cool that an important businessman saw that something was wrong, and created a group to bring people together for a good cause. He knew there would be consequences anyway, but he still helped people out. Viva la revolution!

CREATE AN ADVERTISEMENT ASSIGNMENT
Assignment: Come up with the concept for a product you think the world needs. It can be as logical as a new cereal with banana flakes in it or as far-fetched as golf balls that glow in the dark. Then do the following:
1. Design a logo for the company that will sell this product. If you aren’t a natural artist, you will be better off designing something that is easily reproduced — something with simple circles or lines.
2. Create an advertisement for the print media (either newspaper or magazine) as follows:
Create a color magazine ad of an appropriate size (11"h x 8"w) that includes the product.
You will post these ads to your blogs and present them to the rest of the class next week. You will describe the ad, talk about the target audience, and describe what type of magazine you would use for advertising your product.
