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.…
In Steve Craig and Terry Moellinger’s article, ““So Rich, Mild, and Fresh”: A Critical Look at TV Cigarette Commercials, 1948-197,” they address the ways in which television commercials promoted the appeal of cigarette smoking to different groups as well as how cigarette companies responded to the rising fears about smoking-related cancer. To start, following World War II television captured the public’s attention as the next greatest technological advancement.

With the audience mostly consisting of young adults, this ad portrays a normal young man as the main character, encouraging the audience to relate to him. The then shocking scene of him prying out his tooth provokes a sense of alarm in viewers who originally could have easily seen themselves in his position. The association between themselves and forcefully causing themselves pain is shocking to young viewers and compels them to reevaluate their habits. Fear and disgust are some of the most influential emotions that cause individuals to actively make a change in their lives. The cashier’s statement, “see you again,” is another powerful appeal to the audience’s emotions because smokers can relate to the pitiful and constant cycle of tobacco addiction and continuous purchase of more and more…
Examining Commercial Advertising Advertisements are everywhere we go and almost on everything we know. Yet advertisements portray men and women very differently. They also affect men and women more than some people realize. The films, Miss Representation, Killing Us Softly 4, and Tough Guise 2 really thoroughly discussed the problems and effects of advertisements for both men and women.

Most Super Bowls these days are centered around commercials, but this Sunday was a very notable exception. With the Patriots and the Falcons putting on a show for the ages, most of us were forced to use the ad breaks for bathroom visits and heaping our plates with snacks.

Here are the best ads you might have missed: • Budweiser: Born the Hard Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZmlRtpzwos Budweiser was one of many brands that chose to get political at this year's Super Bowl.…

Gender is a socially constructed ideal, where the main purpose is to associate ones physical and behavioral characteristics with either being male or female. The issue is not with gender itself, but with the restrictions that gender puts on an individual and the fact that gender becomes something that the individual must strive to emulate. This ideal is used in advertisements, mainly because it is prominent and apparent in society. Advertisement agencies, such as Secret, manipulate this ideal to ensure the success of their product to the desired audience. Due to the fact that the advertisement agencies, through the use of print ads, further the restrictions of gender, they also further construct and communicate the gender norms and expectations…

This poster is a mock advertisement designed for mass distribution. Here, Burgin takes a typical image from the mass media in which a man and a woman are displayed in a rather sensuous scene. The image mirrors the sex appeal we are used to seeing in regular advertisements, and this therefore allows the piece to blend in with the various advertisements we see daily. Both the image and text guide the viewer to a critical meaning – ultimately highlighting the media’s role in shaping our desires. The word possession relates directly to advertising and material goods we are made to want.…
