Advertisement

My ad is one for Scope dual-blast. It's a mouth wash that goes beyond killing bad breath germs, it also eliminates strong food odors. The design of it is a bottle of the scope that was shot through an onion and it shows the scope breaking up the onion like it's more powerful than the stench of the onion. At the top it says "the onionator" showing that it can destroy even an onion. I got this from the magazine Cosmopolitan, and because of that I feel like it's trying to attract females who can't stand to have stinky breath. I do feel that it can be targeted for anyone who strongly dislikes bad breath, but for the purpose of being in this magazine it's attracting the girls who read it. No body likes bad breath, especially after eating anything with even the smallest amount of onion, so why not use this Scope Dual-Blast to get rid of it?

Elements of an Effective Layout

This article discusses how the different elements are needed to make a layout effective. These elements are balance, proportion, unity, clarity and simplicity, and emphasis. In advertisements these days it is implied that these elements are there. If the advertisement is lacking in one area, it can easily be made up for in another. As long as the advertisement is unified, easy to look at and read and it also emphasizes the main point then it's layout to somewhat effective. An effective layout should attract readers by attention and interest. When you are flipping through a magazine loaded with advertisements, you stop on a page because you've seen something that attracts your eye. After reading about the elements of an effective layout, I can honestly say I wouldn't have asked myself all of these questions, but now I will look to see if these professionals have followed the rules of design. They all apply to my ad.

Democracy of Goods

The analytical tool being used here is to express how using everyday, ordinary products can make you feel like you are top of the rank or make you feel like you belong in a place that seems out of reach. Most products still use this kind of advertisement. All advertisers want to make their products more appealing. I haven't picked out my ad yet but I think reading this will help me choose.

Ad on TV

I always seem to let the beauty advertisements get me. I find myself going out to buy the new hottest things that the tv or magazines say are going to work best. The ads that work for me are ads like Dove commercials. It shows average sized girls and not tall skinny models and helps me want to buy more of it because of this. When I see ads with tall skinny girls it doesn't make me want to buy the product because not a single product out there can make you taller or skinnier. One of the Dove's ad shows humor between a couple friends and what soaps they use. I love all of Doves advertising and I even like Dove products. I don't dislike anything about them. I have brought many Dove products since their new commercials have came on.

Why Dance is The Best Exercise

Exercise is important to several people, but there’s so many different ways to exercise. Dance is an excellent choice. It uses strength, flexibility, and endurance. It can also be a lot of fun!

My thesis- Dancing doesn’t just strengthen your entire body by giving you a great cardio work out, but it is also healthy for your mind. It’s a good way to relieve built up stress which in turn can allow your mind and creativity to flow freely..

My Style

I really do not enjoy writing essays that much, I am more of an creative writer and like to have topics and imagination. Essay writing really just doesn't come natural to me. One reminder that was said was to write in a way that comes naturally. While revising my essay, I am going to try to focus on writing my essay on what I feel comfortable with. Another reminder  was do not inject opinion, but I feel like for my persuasive essay I need to add a little of my opinion to argue about my topic.
