I understand that the statement “doing this was hard” is becoming quite frequent among my blog posts, but I have to mentioned once again that this was the most challenging part of all the work we’ve done so far. Even though writing the selling statement seems like an effortless job and simple to be made , I found it excruciating to write it.
The reason I find this to be so challenging I think is because of lack of confidence. As a perfectionist person I am rarely satisfied with what I do, in this case, even less satisfied since this is something I have to present or better sell. I really had to envision this product as a commercial object and create the desire to buy it in other people. How could I do that if I wasn’t confident on the product I created? I started imagining if this was a product I had design for a brand, this brand would go to bankruptcy because of me. Jokes aside, after I got passed this seven headed monster I actually got to see the great work I created, brought on my many weeks of research and hard work.
I wrote this statement thinking about everything I wanted to stand out about not only me, but my project. I thought about what I wanted to achieve and how I wanted to inspire the desire in other people. I think there is still a lot of ground to cover when it comes to writing selling ads for me, maybe describing the product better or creating a better structure. However, I do believe I learned enormously from this assignment, the power of confidence and how describing the emotions of a product can actually create the desire to buy it. I am confident that I did the best work I could and that in the end it turned out quite a complete, interesting and exciting add for my fictional magazine.
