However, her teeth are white and sparkling. Her eyes also are bright, clean and youthful.

    Advertisements are deceiving; cigarette companies use them to target consumers of different social statuses, race, and ages. The majority of the ads portray an image that makes the consumer believe that if they use their product they will look or be as happy as the person shown in the ad. Yet many ads do not show the side effect that their product can have or the effect it can cause on the consumers health. For example in my ad, it tries to convince young adults to buy Newport cigarettes. The ad targets young adults of all races, making them believe that if they smoke Newport cigarettes they will look as healthy, have a good time, and be cool around their friends and peers when in reality it is not true, therefore this ad is ineffective.…

    When it comes to gum, romance usually isn’t something that you think about, but when Extra Gum released their commercial The Story of Sarah and Juan in 2015 it most likely changed a lot of people’s minds- gum equals romance.

This ridiculously adorable commercial tells a story of two high school sweethearts who end up getting engaged by the end of the ad.

    Faults in the advertisement come in to play, as it insists that natural beauty is in fact not natural beauty at all, but foundation on the skin made to look flawless. In addition, the ad suggests that the reasons behind wearing makeup are to gain the opposite genders attention and to appeal to their liking. The ad raises the question: Why can’t women wear make up to feel good about themselves? And why isn’t natural beauty not defined as the natural skin women are given? After all shouldn 't a magazine, solely for women, praise them for who they are verses their appearance?…
