magazine article project

This project was about showing how advertisement can be misleading to get you to buy the product. What worked well was using photo shop to explain why this ad is flawed. What was most challenging was re creating the image. Next time i will try to re create the ad in another way. I used photo shop to out text onto the picture and create another. I can use these skills in the future because learning how to use photo shop can be useful in many different ways

A5: unit reflection

Advertisements can appear in a number of different ways. From, print to digital. You can see advertisements basically anywhere. They appear in magazines, online, on the side of the road, and in commercials just to name a few. Ads are everywhere!
The whole point of an advertisement is to persuade someone to act in a certain way, look a certain way, or buy a certain product. In my opinion an image can definitely persuade someone to act. If an image did not do this people would not continue to create advertisements. Consumers like you and I buy into advertisements because the images portrayed in them are appealing and we want what the producer is offering.
Advertisements should be regulated by the government. People have a right to say what ever that would like to say, within moderation. Certain advertisements can deeply offend some that view it and this should not be shown where everyone can see it. I think that advertisements can be very racy and controversial.
