Selena:



Waverly Discount Inn

Do you like travelling in style but don't like spending money? Well you're in luck! The Waverly Discount Inn offers stylish comfortable rooms at the lowest rate guaranteed. So kick off those high heels and relax.  Feeling like a diva never came so cheap!

Shai: I love this, not only do you look FANTASTIC! This looks exactly like a Hotel Advertisement. Look at those Legs!

Jared: I agree, I love everything about this photo besides that nasty mustard yellow blanket and old-timer television. Selling an entire hotel room was a brilliant idea because you take up so little of the room, but command attention while keeping the scenery present. Well done, Selena!

Jensen:  Your legs are fucking amazing.  This is a great photo.  I see what you're advertising and that's great.  The glare is shit but this is great!

Matt:

If you rent your suit from Jim's Formal Wear, you'll be guaranteed a night that ends in the back seat. 

Shai: I like this and I like that you have cleaned up since last round. I can see this being an Ad shown around Prom time. You bad little boy, trying to put ideas in the younger generations little mind tanks. Pretty good!

Jared: I'm thankful you let us know it was formal-wear you were selling because all of that intense car leather would have done the trick as well. I don't know if I like that you have dressed down the formal-wear to make it more casual, but I can see how it would be more presentable that way. As if it is for more than just one occasion, such as Prom. For me, you are striking a pose like a model and that is enough to earn more points with me.


Jensen:  Oh thank GOD!   Your photo last round was so horrible that I honestly said Eww when I saw how high you placed because it was just the worst photo I have probably ever seen in my judging career.   This photo is really great!!  Your pose, your style, your setting.  There is nothing wrong this round at all.

Jennifer:

Everdeen's Doggie Daycamp

Are kids and work eating up all your time? Don't forget about your furry best friends! Bring them down to Everdeen's Doggy Daycamp, where it's our job is to keep your dog happy! All dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome and given a chance to socialize with other dogs while staying active. 

Shai: This is brilliant. I love how much life and sweetness there is in your smile and face. Brava lady!

Jared: This is definitely a step in the right direction. Even though, like last time, I had to search to find you on the right side again, the dogs and the ad to go with it boost this photo. You and the dogs all have the same happy expression that makes this extremely believable, and if I had dogs, I would absolutely bring them there. Good work!



Jensen:  Hmmm you're being totally outshined for one.   I don't like your smile at all.  Your eyes look great and I love how you're connecting with the animals, but try to keep your face always looking great.

James:

Shai: Leave it to James Franco; the man of naked selfies and trash talking Lohan to advertise cigarettes. Do you realize how bad they are for your health? I can see this being a old James Dean theme ad, trying to make puffing cool. Lower the size and label the obvious next time.

Jared: Alright, James. You heard me loud and clear about the B/W photos, and this is a decent example. Like Shai I too get a feel for an old-time James Dean look and it is working. What isn't working for me in this photo is the size and that the quality suffers greatly. I don't mind that the product is cigarettes, but a description advertisement would have been a nice addition.



Jensen:  Ewwwww cigarettes.   I'm hoping you're advertising that jacket because that's the only thing I'm looking at.  Or hair products, because your hair looks fantabulous.  Remove the smoke and this would be great.  Also, next time, tell us what you're selling or make it obvious like Naomi.

Eva:

At Eva's Candy Emporium, we have delicious treats for any and all occasions that will be sure to surprise a partner, satisfy a sweet tooth, and much more. Call us today!

Shai: How do you go from classy to this? Regardless its a fantastic advertisement, on the opposite hand I think you might take my spleen while I sleep. All joking aside, you are modeling, just darker themes than what I expected.

Jared: If I didn't without a doubt know that was you, Eva, I would have thought I was looking at a hybrid photo of Milla Jovovich and Morticia Addams. The good news is that because everything but the product is b/w, it is front and center and distracting, which in this case is acceptable because I really dislike your look here. Good luck!





Jensen:  Edgy dark Eva is the best Eva, remember that when searching for photos.  Although, don't always go there, you do have some good commercial photos (I mentored Eva G in a game recently so I know what I'm talking about lol)   This is great, I knew right away what it was, and it's really a cool photo to give us.

At Ryoko Travel, we can help you.

Shai:Spot On! I mean this screams Travel Ad. I wasn't thinking Japan but regardless you look great and this is just great. I like seeing all of your face.

Jared: This photo is huge. That's the negative. I am agreeing once again with Shai, I did not see this as Japanese until I saw the origami animal attached to the delicious glass of whatever fruity drink that is. I would have thought Hawaii or an ad for fruit alcoholic beverages. Either way, a product is front and center but also doesn't take away any of the spotlight from you. It's a very good balance. Nice work!





Jensen:  I wasn't looking for it to look like any country because I totally bought travel ad the second I saw it.  Your face looks a little plastic here but other than that, this is a really great job as usual.

Naomi:

Shai:I know I didn't technically ask for what you were doing for an Ad/Service but at least make it obvious. Is it the clothes? the jewelry? The writing that should not really be there? I wish I could like this, but I cannot for this challenge. You look good but this falls flat.

Jared: I disagree with Shai on this one. I can tell this is an advertisement for Jewelry, who would want to sit down in order to sell a little black dress? I believe everything in this photo compliments everything else. You have an amazing pose and this is leaps and bounds better than that head shot last round. My only complaint comes from the font to the bottom left. It is distracting in an unpleasant way and keeps this photo from being perfection. Watch out for that in the future! Good luck!





Jensen:  I hate the writing.  But the ad is gorgeous.  I love the profile shot and the pose.  You've done a great job and your jewelry is obvious!

Taylor:

Shai: This is so small and the wording and the lack of effort I feel from this submission.. I am sorry if that is too brutal, but I just don't know.

Jared: Taylor, honey, when I said smaller photos during the head shots last round I didn't mean microscopic. The font is unbelievably distracting, and isn't selling the coke product for me. The only upside is that you are posing like a champ. Other than that, it's not great.


Jensen: Taylor, you look gorgeous.  But this is so damn small and just not good enough for submitting in a model game.  But hey! You submitted.
