Creativity Exercise 7: Creativity in Action 


Background

We have made to exercise number 7 in Regina Pacelli's book, Whole Lotta Creativity Going On. Exercise 7 is categorized as "Creativity in Action". The assignment is as follows:

Write a short commercial jingle to boost sales for a horrible tasting, but miraculous and quick-acting cough syrup.


Image generated in Photo Shop using the following prompt: a product photo of a horrible tasting, but miraculous and quick-acting cough syrup


Yesterday, I introduced myself in ChatGPT, the same as I did in my other online courses because I was previously advised by my graphic design professor that the chatbot works better when you're polite.


Here are the three responses we generated:

Option 1

(Upbeat, catchy tune)

🎶 "It’s not the best, we’ll admit it's true,
But in seconds flat, it’ll fix up you!
One little sip, and you’ll say goodbye,
To that cough that keeps you up all night!"

(Spoken with enthusiasm)
"Quick relief in every drop—taste isn’t great, but the cough stops!"

🎶 "It’s rough, it’s tough, but the job gets done,
Take a gulp and cough be gone!"


Option 2

(Upbeat, catchy melody)

🎶
"When your throat’s on fire,
And you feel so dire,
There’s a fix that’s fast,
Though it might not last!

It’s Cough-B-Gone!
One sip, and the cough is gone,
It’s not the best taste,
But it works with haste!

Cough-B-Gone!
Your throat will feel brand new,
It’s tough to swallow,
But relief will follow!

Cough-B-Gone!
For coughs that just won’t quit,
Take one shot, and that’s it!
(Yeah, it’s quick!)
🎶


Option 3

(Upbeat, playful tune)

🎶
**"It tastes so bad, but you'll be glad!
One spoonful and you're feeling rad!
It’s the worst you'll ever sip,
But your cough will do a flip!

Take it fast, the cough won’t last,
Works like magic, super fast!
Bad taste, good fix, just one quick sip—
Miracle Syrup does the trick!"**
🎶


Conclusion

I'm no song writer, but my favorite of the three options was option number 1 because it has a playful, light-hearted vibe to make the bad taste seem less serious and the quick relief the focus. Which would you prefer?

Creating Marketing Personas for Club Pilates: A Peek into My Assignment

  Overview When it comes to effective marketing, understanding your audience is everything. As part of my social media and digital marketing class, I was tasked with creating four marketing personas for Club Pilates. These personas help bring the target audience to life by highlighting their motivations, challenges, and preferences. Here’s an overview of my assignment and the personas I developed. Why Marketing Personas Matter Marketing personas are fictional yet research-based profiles that represent segments of a company’s target audience. By humanizing data, businesses can tailor their messaging, products, and services to meet the specific needs of their customers. For Club Pilates, this means reaching diverse individuals seeking fitness and wellness solutions in a way that resonates with them. Meet the Personas 1.

Where Rhythm Meets Flavor: A Night at Kaya’s Table

Where Rhythm Meets Flavor: A Night at Kaya’s Table  The first thing you notice when you step into Kaya’s Table is the scent—thick, warm, and inviting. The air hums with slow-roasted jerk spices, caramelized plantains, and the rich, buttery scent of cornbread just out of the oven. There’s a hint of coconut and something smoky, maybe a whisper of charcoal-grilled seafood kissed by the sea breeze. The aroma alone could make a full man hungry.   It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the lighting—soft golden hues cast from Moroccan-style lanterns that sway just slightly with the rhythm of the bass. Deep indigo and emerald walls, painted with sweeping murals of Black and Caribbean folklore, seem to shift in the flickering light. A large, open hearth near the back of the room cradles a cast-iron pot bubbling with something rich and peppery, its thick, slow-moving surface promising comfort in every spoonful.   And the music—*lawd*, the music. A live band sets up in the cor...

Hanging by Hooks: My First Encounter with Body Suspension

  Hanging by Hooks: My First Encounter with Body Suspension Last weekend, I attended a tattoo convention expecting the usual vibrant mix of inked masterpieces, creative booths, and buzzing machines. What I didn’t anticipate was witnessing a performance that would profoundly challenge and inspire me: a body suspension demonstration. In the middle of the room, a petite woman was being suspended by eight hooks, all carefully placed in her abdomen. The hooks pierced her skin in a line down the front of her torso, pulling her body taut as she hovered horizontally above the ground. The sight was both unsettling and mesmerizing—a delicate balance of vulnerability and strength. At first, it was hard to process. The idea of skin bearing such weight felt incomprehensible, especially from such a tender and exposed area of the body. But as I watched, my discomfort gave way to awe. Her face was calm, almost serene, as though she had transcended the physicality of the moment. The crowd was silen...
