Assignment 11: My Morocco

Snail or what we call in Arabic "Babouch" is part of the Moroccan cuisine and it is a snack liked by many moroccans in all the regions of the country. This picture has been taken in Casablanca next to the Morocco Mall in Ain Diab where Babouch merchants install there small shop for their customer.

As you may know there is  a huge dispute around the Moroccan Sahara, but since I was a child I always saw it as symbol of morocco. This picture has been taken during the trip to the south for spring break 2014.

Another thing that for me represents my Morocco is Moroccan Weddings. For me they are unique in the way they are organised, the different ceremonies, the dresses, the food, and the music. 

Assignment 10: Branded!

Coca Cola Company created a new Ad Compaign in which instead putting the name the brand you print something you want on the bottle. The image above shows an example of this campaign. Instead of Coca Cola is written "Bidawa" which means people from Casablanca.

In this image we can see different brands like apple, Jack Daniels, Marc Jacobs, Ray Ban, and Haqgen-dazs. This products are used in a daily basis like the computer, the bag or sun glasses. This is a good example of how we have been branded by companies.

This is an image of products that I used for my make up routine and the perfume that I wear every day. This is an other example of being branded as I said before.
