It's all good, but not great. Each spot or print ad was well-made, but it delivered on the message in a fairly straightforward way. There were no twists, no surprises, no holy-shit moments, no hilarity, and no emotion. The "Taco" was confusing at first. If you can tweak that intro of "Tacoma Time" to have the "ma" flicker or come up after "Time" that could help. The Super Bowl spot is a big deal to have so early in your career, but I found the face of the driver to be extremely punchable; if you can edit him out I'd do it, and at the end I'd hire a CGI artist to re-create that actual pinball machine and when the car slides into position at the end, I'd cut as soon as it stops to the entire pinball machine falling over, with "TILT" blinking in red . You could probably do it for $4000 if you find someone on Upwork, and you should (or come up with a simpler, funnier, more exciting finish than a quiet bird's eye view of the pinball field floating in some weird void), because this is your crowning portfolio piece, and it ends with a whimper but deserves a bang. I'd add some music to your jingles; they're cute but feel like they go on forever. The Saatchi Shuttle print only needs to be the first one, the other two are flat. Finally, cut your student work out, or pick three of them that represent your absolute best work and just present them as part of the portfolio without any indication that it's spec (of course if anyone asks don't lie, but let them ask).

Thanks very much for the detailed feedback. It’s in line with much of what I’ve heard—that it’s pretty boring all over. With more time on my hands, I’m going to try to focus on making new things rather than spend $4k on an existing spot. My student work kinda hurts to look at, but I’m not sure if that’s just me. I hear you though that I should not break that into it’s own page, but rather find 1-3 that I still like (enough to fix/improve) and just put it in with the rest. Again, I appreciate your help, and thanks for your time.

Why charts and numbers saying your super bowl ad was great? Your ad should talk by itself. If the CD/ECD/CCO don’t think your work is great, putting a lot of charts there won’t change their minds.

Less is more. Let your work speak by itself.

But this is just my opinion, don’t take it for granted.

Sadly those are the best shots we could get. We weren’t even involved in the creation of it—it was an idea we pitched and didn’t find out until after the fact that it got made and was brought to some NASCAR events.

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

I'm in my last semester of school. Over the summer, I had a portfolio review where the creative director recommended not to use fun or popular brands.

It made me wonder: What types of brands do creative directors want to see in portfolios? What have you not seen before?

Alternatively, what products and brands are you tired of seeing? For instance, my professors say condoms and hot sauce are a no.
