Selling Images and Values (5)

If an alien were to watch TV an evenings worth of TV, I think he would find that earth is a very interesting place and that we consume a lot to products. I think he would find that people need to be constantly entertained.



If I were going to choose one person to speak on behalf of my school before a community group or at a local council meeting, I would chose students from student council and teachers. I would chose these people because then you would get a students point of view as well as a teacher point of view about the school. I would chose these students to speak on behalf of the school because the know the most about what is happening in terms of events at the school.

I find it difficult to see myself selling a product, but if I were going to be in an advertisement for a product I think it would be for clothing. I think many younger people could advertise clothing, beacause they are they people that start trends. I think that many teenage girls would like to sell clothing.

If you see advertisements for clothing most of time it is younger poeple selling the clothes. I think that this is what I would sell because I love clothes.

Selling Images and Products (2)

If sold the following products I would advertise them in these following venues:
Beer: I would put this ad on TV during sports games and on sport stations.
Luxury Cars: I would put ads in car magazines and on wesites about/sell cars.
Toys: I would put ads on TV during kids shows and cartoons, as well as on kids game websites. I would also put ads in parent magazines.
Designer Jeans: I would put ads in fashion magazines and on fashion and clothing webistes, as well as store wesites.
Shampoo: I would put it on TV anytime during the day. I would put it on nation wide channels so that more people would see it. I would also advertise in saloons and hair magazines.
Secerity Alarms: I would advertise this product during late night TV shows.





I have bought something I have seen in an advertisment in the past because of the advertisement. I have bought new products that I have seen on TV, such as food and clothing.

An advertisement on TV that I like right now is....

I reason I like this commerical right now is beacuse it is funny or overly annoying.

An advertisement that is on TV right now that I find annoying are some of the Dairy Queen Commericals. I couldn't find a video of the right one, but the reason I find it annoying is beacuse they play it too much and it was not funny.

Gender Protrayal Guidelines

In this ad for Lee Jeans, both men and women are being sexually exploited. In the series of pictures both men and women's bodies are being used to sell the jeans. This is an advertisement that took using sexualization too far, in hopes of selling their product.
The advertisers should not have shown as much as they did. If they wanted to follow the guidelines they should not over sexualize their advertisements.

I found this ad to be offensive and it did not make me want to buy their jeans. I think many others would feel the same way, especially parents with young children who may see this ad.

This ad for Big Red gum does not show both men and women as being decision makers when buying the product. This ad is more directed towards men. This ad shows the man having more authority. This advertisement also shows irrelevant associations with sexulization. The advertisers showed unnecessary sexual exploitation, women's bodies have nothing to do with selling gum. If the advertisers wanted to follow the Gender Portrayal Guidelines they should not show the man with more authority than the woman and they should not sexualize the woman to sell their product.

I personally was not offended by this ad, but it also didn't make me want to buy their product.

This advertisement for BeeFeater's Gin shows men with authority. This ad shows men in a dominate role. This ad also shows unnecessary sexual exploitation to sell it's product. A man's body has nothing to do with gin; this ad is using sexualization to sell it's product when it has nothing to do with the product.

I did not find this advertisement offensive; it was also more effective then the last two advertisements.

Bimbos and Himbos

A lot of pressure is put on men and women of all ages, by the media to look a certain way. These video's show the negative affect that the media's pressure has.
I believe that everyone feels some pressure to look a certain way. The media's influence is around us all the time, even when we may not realize it.

Eating disorders are a problem in today's society affecting many people. As the video below showed it affects many people, a large number of them who die. This is a sad statistic that shows just how much of an affect the world's media has on people.
Steroid abuse is also a problem in today's society, with the amount of pressure that is put on athletes to succeed. Many younger athletes see the pros doing steroids and makes them think it is a good idea. It believe that is important that athletes know that you don't need to use steroids to have success. When they use steroids they are not living up to their own potential they are cheating by using drugs.
