Week 1 EOC, My Voice


Hello my name is Autumn Mae Myers and I was brought to this world with the idea of being a journalist or story writer.  Things change people grow and now I truly found my calling as trying to be a Trend reporter, stylist, and boutique owner. As you can see I’m really indecisive of where to go with my future choices, so why now do them all? The sky is the limit and that is how I see it. Fashion is one of my many vents that I use to escape from the reality of life. The dramatics, theatrics, passion, and love that goes into it excites me. From runways to the designs, that is all what truly excites me. One day planning to be behind the scenes making the style trends and showing the world what it takes to be fashion’s newest star.  The way I see it is probably different than most people I know. I love to filled with enthusiasm and hope and not letting anyone bring me down in this game. I love quotes that can fill you up and make life better then what you try to perceive it. Of course everything will get hard and times will not be easy but find light to each of these situations. I think that is why my picture would be a sun sky because I try my hardest to find good in the world. Especially in the industry that I chosen. Fashion will be cut throat but you need to suck it up and know life goes one.one thing that I would love the most is to be a teen vogue fashion stylist for their editorials. Teen vogue was my start in loving fashion and the thought of me being more then a journalist . I love the simplest ideas of how you can pair pieces and make them gorgeous but yet something not the daily woman can have. Editorials excite me with wonder and thrill. The next thing I ope to accomplish is being a boutique owner for all named fashions and styles. I am not objective to anything or any fashion this world has to offer.  The name would be damsel in distress only through the idea that every woman needs to be saved in some way or form. So why not create a boutique that includes something that all woman can wear. Not like your other fast fashions or upscale lines where it is one specific customer. One day I hope to accomplish all of these things in my futurw but until then fashion is my love.

Week 1 BOC, Volkswagen Ad


The ad for the Volkswagen Lemon was printed in 1960 by the ad company Doyle Dane Bernbach located in New York. In the ad it can clearly state the various tests the beetle went through before becoming efficient for anyone to use. As quoted from the San Jose Business Journal “Competing automakers were building ever bigger cars for growing families with baby boomer children. The Beetle, on the other hand, was tiny and, well, ugly.” The advertising company Doyle Dane Bernbach used this and made it sound as if they will inspect it from head to toe before they allow you to purchase it. The ad continues on about the many employees there are inspecting the car to make sure you are safe and riding around in the best built automobile. The count exactly is 3,389 men inspecting your car. This was to ensure that Volkswagen cared about the safety of its customers. However the fact being that this was a German automobile and was produced 15 years later after World War 2. The ad company tried the best to show that this car was nothing but safe, efficient, and well examined by many of the test done before its approval. Then the next test it explains done to the car is the car test stand which allows it to show that this car will be long lasting and able to stand strong. The last thing it says in this as is we pluck lemons; you get plums. This can mean we take out the wrongs so you can receive the goods. The ad is just an image of the Volkswagen beetle with the word Lemon underneath in bold. Which was very eye catching to the viewer? In the 1960’s they say this ad has been revolutionary and set the standards for advertising.
