This is a very very funny advertisement. I would definitely give props to the creator of this idea because it is definitely a “thinking out of the box” idea. A lot of brides are always trying to lose weight before their wedding and adding a little comic relief can advertise this product without trying to offend any one.

I thought this ad was a little bit of a contradiction. Cigarettes are always being portrayed as being a bad thing or hazardous in today’s society and this ad is portraying cigarettes as “the solution”. I don’t think the ad is that effective considering the surgeon general still determines that “cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health”. Haha

I could not stop laughing when I saw this ad. At first I thought it was advertising candy and thought the set up of the eggs in the hands was a little too sexual but then I realized it was an Axe advertisement and it totally made sense. Axe is always advertising in a sexual manner.

This ad is from the 1950’s I believe and I just though about how we talked in class that back then advertisers would use graphics or cartoons more and all the the things that go into making an effective ad when using cartoons.

I never really thought about how we have all the pictures of different wars and how someone essentially had to take those pictures. I think it would be crazy to put yourself in the same predicament as a soldier for a picture. It amazes me completely but I give major credit to those who have the courage to snap the photos in drastic measures to be able to actually see what goes on in these types of scenarios.

So, yesterday I went to the mall in San Antonio and I walked into the Abercrombie store. I had never really paid attention to all their posters in there up until yesterday. It amazed me how sexual they were. There was a poster in there where a couple was half naked and the guy was pushed up against the girls behind as if implying sexual intercourse in that position. It totally freaked me out because a lot of young people shop there, even people who are still in high school and maybe even middle school. It made me think what kind of message is abercrombie conveying to today’s youth and how parents are so easy to let their children wear clothes represented by this message.

We are discussing cartoons in class this week and it amazes me how much cartoons have evolved. I am a big fan of the old school mickey mouse cartoons and would definitely pick them over the mickey mouse club show my little sister watches every morning!

Ive been working on my project for my visual communication class and all the posts and articles I have been seeing regarding the first amendment is entertaining. I love how creative and funny some people are because it entertains and educates, which is awesome!

I think for some weird reason St.Patty’s day is really big this year or is being much more celebrated than other years from what I remember. Of course, I would be the dumb person and forget to wear green so I’m pretty sure Ill be developing some bruises very soon from all the pinching!
