Advertisements


Name of Ad: Lysol
1) What audience is the advertisement targeting? Everyone- especially people with children
2) What is the advertisement’s purpose?  What is the ad trying to communicate to you? To buy this cleaning product to protect your children from harmful organisms around your home
3) What values or emotions does the media try to evoke?  How? Is it effective, why?  The advertisement evokes the familiar emotions that every mom goes through when their children are young; the emotion that they need to protect their children from every and all bacteria that could possible be flowing throughout the house. The addition of the pedestrians’’ approval gains the respect and authority of all.
4) Does the ad try to connect with the audience? How? The ad depicts an everyday family, which is relatable to every genre of audience.
5) Is there anyway the ad could be improved? The ad couldn’t be improved because of the product it is advertising. Lysol isn’t an appealing, overly exciting product. It’s a cleaning solution and the advertisement was ideal for the cause.  
6) Is the advertisement memorable?  Why? The advertisement isn’t memorable, though it was a fitting, well-put together concept. I am not going to focus on a cleaning solution when that isn’t a priority in my daily life. If I was a mother, then it would be a different story.

Name of Ad: Pfizer Adbuster
1) What audience is the advertisement targeting? Pharmaceutical Users
2) What is the advertisement’s purpose?  What is the ad trying to communicate to you? To send an email to Attorney General Holder asking him to adopt a three strikes rule against corporate criminals.
3) What values or emotions does the media try to evoke?  How? Is it effective, why? The ad tries to evoke emotions regarding corrupted billion dollar companies and the inhumane testing on humans.
4) Does the ad try to connect with the audience? How? The ad is very unappealing. The reader must read paragraphs in order to know the basis behind the ad.
5) Is there anyway the ad could be improved? The ad needs to be completed revamped. The wording needs to be catchy and brief. The small print needs to be eliminated.
6) Is the advertisement memorable?  Why? Not at all! The advertisement isn’t a true advertisement, but merely a public service statement.

New Book, New Genre, New Mindset

My last novel was about a topic which was quite serious and controversial and that was Evolution. Topics such as these are not the easiest read however they are mind-stimulating. With that said, my mind can only be stimulated for so long until I need a comedic break, an easy read. I have not picked a book yet, though I should have already, but my next read will be a chick-flicky, unconventional love story, classic teenage girl novel. ( A girl needs her indulgences! )

Your Turn


People’s opinion, beliefs, acceptance on a theory is based upon personal decisions. Evidence can be presented to help persuade someone’s beliefs. In the end, however, people make their own choices. My choice is to be a “Creat-ulionist”. I believe in both, creation theory and evolutionary ideas. I believe, I was raised to believe, that God created the Earth, the Stars, the Sun, and everything around us. I also believe in developmental evolution. I believe that God created skinny or fat, short or tall people. I also believe that if the world were going to end unless you are short and fat, short and fat people would evolve to be norm.

So, now it is your turn to evaluate the facts and form an opinion. You must take in to account the information that was present.

God bless you and evolution supersede you!
