A 'Live" Sort Of Billboard; A "Moving" Billboard; & A "Still" Billboard

There will be three different types of billboards I will write about today. I would classify one as a "live" sort of billboard; one was a moving billboard advertisement; and the last is a standard billboard that you would see on a billboard sign. It is amazing that I was able to see all three of these different types of advertisement while driving on the highway.

The "live" one was actually a group of protesters that wanted to share their thoughts with the moving traffic below them. Apparently, their message was viewed by the motorists. How do I know this? I was listening to a traffic update report and they were made mention of as a reason that traffic was actually slowing down by the bridges that this group displayed their signs. Yes, people actually slowed down to read what they had to display. That is why I would call this a live billboard. A billboard has a message to share with those that drive the highways and they just chose to be "live" in their message while waving the American flag.

The "moving" billboard advertisement was actually on the back of a truck. Do you see the importance of correct spelling? I would like to think that if I had a business and I was going to display advertisement about my business I would want to make sure that the words chosen to advertise would be spelled correctly wouldn't you also? I guess I am a picky sort of person when it comes to this. If you are in heavy traffic and people are able to read your advertisement on your truck you have a great opportunity and captive audience while sitting in traffic right? I know it may be a typo error of some sort but if someone should happen to actually read your advertisement and notice you spelled a word incorrectly they may think to them self, "I don't know about this company and the type of service they do for they do not have their advertisement spelled correctly." Remember, if you have a business and you advertise it on your vehicles you should make sure it is presentable if you are to reach a vast audience. I do not want to seem like I am picking on this business I am just trying to show you the importance of taking the time to preview and edit before you actually display the final work.

I often find myself when reading a book, I can pick out misspelled words and then I think to myself why did they not have a proof reader read this before they published it? A time or two I did contact the ministry that wrote the book to let them know of the typo and I do not even know if they ever did anything about it. That was several years ago when I did that. Please let me state that I find myself at times typing this blog and I thought I proofed it and did use spell check and when I viewed it I saw a few corrections I had to take care of too. It is hard when you write to also proof your own work, I know what people say when they say that you should have someone else proof your work because being the writer you don't always catch everything that needs to be corrected. I do have empathy with this company I would like to see them succeed. Maybe I am being a bit harsh and I do not mean to come across like that I guess I am just trying to drive a point across about seeing what a misspelled advertisement looks like to the reader. You want to hear something funny? I already proofed this once with spell check and guess what word I spelled incorrectly? The word is misspelled, isn't that funny, I initially typed it as "mispelled." I thought it looked a bit funny when I typed it but my mind races fast when I am writing that I didn't stop to check it until I checked spell check later on. You see, it is very easy to not catch things like that. I guess I am living proof of that when I write this blog.
Lexus, your advertisement is the standard billboard sign I am showing today. I believe this is a current and one of your most recent advertisements and I do not like it at all. I am sorry to say that but this billboard seems to give the appearance of being "cold" and impersonal. I liked your other billboards when the cars drew you into them. This picture I captured is not really true in color for in person the background color is much darker. There is a gold colored section in the lower left hand corner but the tree seemed to block it. The word that the tree blocks is "Golden." This is too stiff of a billboard that has no personality. Go back to the "inviting" billboards they are much more pleasant to view from the highway.
 I wrote this and then came back to it to review it again and to add the pictures and sure enough another typo error. We are not perfect and thank God that He is there to catch us when we may fall down and pick us back up and get us upright. He is there just ask Him to help you. He is always there and He is always faithful too.
