54 headlines


Assignment: Create in-store POP for individual cake slices. Appeal to the idea that customers still want to indulge here and there but they are concerned about their budget. This way, they can have a piece of cake...for very little cake.

Result: 54 (some good, some not so good) headlines about love, weight gain, secrets, passion, being rational and making a commitment (or not):

what i'm thinking

My photo
writing is like putting puzzles together. except i hate puzzles. they remind me of rainy days in the poconos, locked indoors with relatives for some kind of annual family reunion. but words, strung together, placed just so, can be just like music. i love words, their meaning, their rhythm, their ability to persuade, move, thrill---and when strategically placed together, they're just like pieces of a puzzle. Because when the piece is complete, it just is. There's nothing left to do except go outside and feel the rain come down.
