"We Feel Fine"

The website "we feel fine"" is really cool and different. I like how you can look at everybodys feelings and thoughts, like happy,bitter, sad, motivated,etc. How you can view it in different ways, mounds, murmurs, mobs,metrics,etc. It makes it easier to view the feeling you feel at that moment or want to read.

Propanganda Techniques

The first commercial I saw was a Stanley Steamers commercial. They use salience with the catchy phrase "Stanley Steamers makes carpet cleaner", the phrase is easily stuck in your head. It also uses bandwagon, showing real customers use Stanley Steamers, they make Stanley Steamers sound like such an amazing service that you should try them too.
The second commercial I saw was a commercial for Straight Talk. They use humor by showing the men whose jobs are mechanics and after using straight talk they got the "richer effect" and carried tiny little girly dogs. It also uses the snob appeal, if you use Straight Talk then you will feel more luxurious. Straight Talk also uses facts and figures. They say by using Straight Talk you will cut your cell phone bill in half.

My Advertisement

Adjectives that describe my advertisement:

suggestive, informational, bold, simple, organized

The purpose of this advertisement is to sell the product,Beauticontrol.

It targets just about any age group except children. It especially target women.

This advertisement makes the assumption that,women, don't want a a pimply face. They want a product hat will keep their face clear and stay clear.

To some people they may think it is unrealistic that this product works within 5 days. In a way this advertisement is socially responsible that people want to look perfect and using this product will help you get there.



DECONSTRUCTING AN ADVERTISEMENT

Adjectives that describe my ad:
creative, fascinating, eye-catching, suggestive, funny
The purpose of this advertisement in my eyes is convince consumers to use fed-ex instead of ups. This ad is genius by showing that fed-ex is so fast that even ups uses it. It doesn't target just one audience so it makes everyone happy.
The assumption that this ad is trying to make is that people like their shipments to get to them faster. This ad doesn't make any assumptions to race,gender,age,etc. which makes it good.
Some consequences of this ad could be ups taking it offensively and possibly starting a law suit but to the consumers I think it would be fine.


Adjectives that describe my ad:
colorful,suggestive,original, detailed, energetic
The purpose of this ad is to attract consumers to purchase ipods and use itunes. The colors in this ad make it appealing to any person. The target audience for this advertisement is anyone of course but specifically for teens and younger adults.
Since this ad has a variety of images in one, the ad doesn't just reflect on one race,gender or even class.
This advertisement I don't think has any long or short term consequences because it's not insulting anyone in particular.

 
Adjectives that describe my ad:
powerful,sentimental,simple,clever,touching
The age group who are depicted in this advertisement is children ages about 18 and under.
The purpose of this ad is to give a voice for the children who are being neglected. Their is not product being sold although this advertisement is being persuasive.The target audience is any group I think. It could be for adults who are neglecting their child or maybe for an adult to voice out about someone who they know of neglecting a child. It could be toward a child or teen who is feeling neglected and should call for help. I think the point of this advertisement worked.
Their aren't any really assumptions toward race,gender or class.
There are not any consequences in this advertisements. Their are also not any unrealistic expectations for people. Since it is such a serious topic the expectations for people are high. Not to just understand the topic but to not joke about it and keep it serious.
