Conveniently Convenient

In an era of emerging technology, the video store was ingenious for its time.  Who would have thought you could watch movies in your own home?  Yet, technology has not reached its limit.  Stores such as Hollywood Video and Blockbuster have struggled to keep up with it's relatively new competitor: Netflix. 



It seems as if Blockbuster's attempt to match (and outdo) Netflix's tactics is just not enough.  Netflix now satisfies their "waiting" customers with access to lists of movies at the touch of a button and all without leaving the comfort of their homes.  Talk about instant gratification!




Instant access is now not limited to the internet but also available through the Wii system.  I believe Netflix's new system owes its expected success not only to its convenience but also to dual advertising.   It is very possible that owners of the Wii system will be more likely to buy Netflix and vice versa.  It's unfortunate, but it's no wonder that Blockbuster went out of business.

Portfolio: Part 2

Well, here is the last set of images I am considering submitting in my portfolio.  I'll keep working to create new images and replace if I feel it necessary.  I hope you like it so far.

Eat More Chickin

For any business to be successful it must be memorable. Customers must remember the quality of the products and services as well as their overall experience with the business. Every business has a personality that customers associate with the quality of those products.

The year that I was employed as a server at Chick-fil-a, I was expected to deliver good and friendly service. Not only is Chick-fil-a known for it's excellent food and good service but for it's famous personality: the cow. They catch your attention in a humorous and memorable way. I personally think that if it weren't for these sneaky and fun characters, Chick-fil-a would not be as successful. The next time I crave a chicken sandwich, you know where I'll be.

P.S. I was the cow!


Portfolio: Part 1

Here are some of the images that I am considering putting in my portfolio.

Entranced
The word entranced has two meanings:
1.  To put a spell upon.  (Indians and cobras)
2.  To fill someone with wonder and delight, to capture one's whole attention.
