Ads, ads, ads

I enjoyed the class where we talked about facets of advertising. I always love when new light is shed on a media topic. Ads are usually looked upon as a negative thing, because they are trying to deceive us or get us to buy something. Essentially this class talked about  the good and the bad with ads. Not all is bad.

Anyway since this class I have noticed or become more aware of advertisement. For example  I was at the BYU basketball game on Thursday and started looking ALL around me and seeing all the different types of ads. Clothing, banners, music, conversations talking about certain products, food, apps on phones, the kind of phone they had,  make-up girls were wearing,etc. Crazy, right?

I could go on and on, but I started thinking more of what I was advertising. What message am I sending? Being single I want to advertise I am single, ha. Desperate? ha JK! Really though, the point is, there are so many layers to advertisement, it is something worth thinking about. What you show on the outside advertises what is on the inside.

I looked up a definition of advertisement just to bring my thoughts back to the basics.

"a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy."

Here are some clever , simple ads I found on-line.
