    Artwork is laid out all around us whether it is seen across city buildings or in galleries around the world. In this advertisement, they incorporated the artwork of a man named Cheeming Böey, who created a different kind of art form by using Sharpie pens and paper cups. Although it may sound bizarre that this artist used paper cups as his canvas and sharpie pens as his drawing materials, his artwork is truly commendable. However, the graphic designers of this advertisement choose his artwork for a completely different reason. In hopes that they could relate Sharpie pens to the people by showing the people that there are unknown possibilities in using their product. However, this message is not the only tool that the graphic designer used for instance: the way that they manipulated space and light as well as adding an asymmetrical balance and emphasis on the advertisement. The purpose of any advertisement is to…

    Advertisements are part of our everyday lives. From the moment that we step outside we are surrounded by ads posted on billboards to transportation to even blimps or jets painting the sky with car insurance propaganda. In the article, “Advertising’s fifteen basic appeals” Jib Fowels explains that the goal of the advertiser is to convince the consumer through physiological and psychological levels. By doing so the advertisement would have to include one or two of the basic appeals Jib Fowels listed in his article. A few examples of these are the need to nurture, the need for sex, need for escape or need to affiliate. As I read through a Women Health magazine 3 out these 15 appeals stood out to me…

    The impact of the advertisement was so great that even though I don’t know what magazine it was in, nor did I get to personally experience the advertisement: I remembered the particular picture. However, this unknown advertisement may be easy to track on google, the original source is not. I researched the organization POWA in search of the original advertisement or at least a trace of it, yet no such luck. POWA is an south african group against women’s abuse, this location difference I assume is the reason for a lack of trace to the advertisement. In return I found a the advertisement on an online magazine website Mamamia, and also the homepage for the POWA…

    The target audience throughout the 129-year history of Popular Science magazine has traditionally been working age males. The advertisements within that magazine reflect the audience in whom they are attempting to reach. From new technological gadgets to old-fashioned tools, the advertisers know what will be attractive to the reader, and to the reader's wallet. Of these advertisers, the most popular by far have been those from the automotive industry. The Ford Motor Company has chosen to strategically advertise within the pages of this magazine on numerous occasions and with various ads that were meant to lure new customers into buying Ford vehicles. It is interesting to notice that the styles of these advertisements are schemed with just the right qualities to attract as many male consumers as possible.…

    The ad I have chose claims that Hillary calls any Trump supporter " Deplorable." It goes on to show evidence in a speech that Hillary gave during a debate. This connects the evidence to the claim by stating exactly what she said. She insists that the reason most people support Trump is because they are racist, sexist , etc. The one problem I see in this campaign is that he is exposing reasons to not vote for Hillary, rather than why to vote for him. I believe he should take a different approach by focusing specifically on what he is persuading. In this case, he wants our vote. One strength in this ad, would be in the end when he shows how much he does help his…

    The idea of improving the smell, or odor, of any human has been around since the beginning of civilization. With the perfume industry having such longevity one can surmise that not smelling offensive is a social norm, and even a social need. However, though it could be argued by some as a need the perfume industry is just that, an industry in itself. Like most industries in our world, perfume is not exempt from using advertisements to sell their products. For example, in this advertisement, Beyoncé, a popular hip-hop singer, is posing in a provocative red satin dress with the word "HEAT" written above her head. This ad is attempting to persuade people to buy the perfume known as Heat. By creating a red color scheme and by using Beyoncé as a celebrity endorser the ad shows emotion and authority of what exactly the purpose is of the ad.…

    I think our group made quite a few amendments. Our main one was our shot list. We planned to use much more shots than we did. For example we planned to use 30 different shots but we didn’t even use half of them! This was due to the weather in the area we were filming in. We had checked the weather before we set the date and it didn’t say that it would be that cold so we planned the costumes accordingly. Our whole group was feeling cold so we cut out some of the shots that we didn’t necessarily need. Another amendment is we didn’t plan on using any editing effects however when we were in the editing suite we thought that there were some editing effects that fit our advert for example: cross fades & slow motion. Originally we had an advert about a black male that went and bought trainers and got chased by the police and our slogan would be ‘they’re so good they’re criminal!’ We then realised that this advert would be a stereotype and also incorporated racism. We didn’t think that this would be a good idea to use so we then decided on BEAST trainers. Also for our final product at the end there is a short conversation between Freddy and Coach (Aggy).…

It isn’t entirely just for men-the usual people that would buy this magazine would more than likely live in the cities or islands and looking for a business look.
