ObservationsNext time you are watching TV surfing the Internet or
reading a magazine I want you to pay close attention to the commercials and
advertisements. In a 1-2 page typed essay describe some of the different
things you notice. For example you may notice that a lot of ads use humor to
sell their products while others use sexuality. You may notice that some ads
are very loud contain a lot of bright colors and are full of action; other ads
however may be simple and quiet. You may also notice that some ads seem to be
speaking to women while others are speaking to men. Try to be specific when
you are writing about the commercials you see (try to name product names if you
can remember them). You do not need to focus on one commercial; rather I
want you to look at a bunch of commercials and respond to them as a whole.
