I chose these because I hate the smell of smoking, and secondhand smoke can kill non-smokers, like me. I am hoping that this ad will get people to stop smoking, which will save smokers and non-smokers.
This media text serves the interests of people who experience second-hand smoke, and want it to stop. The media text does this by informing smokers of the dangers of smoking, which will hopefully get them to stop smoking, which will gratify second-hand smoke sufferers. The purpose of my media work was to inform and persuade. It informs people about the dangers of smoking, and persuades them to stop smoking. I accomplished this by stating a fact about smoking, and then a picture which shows that smoking can kill you.
I used size of font, text, illustrations, photographs, and bold print to communicate my message. I used size of font by making the words “by the time you finish reading this, about 44 people will have died from smoking,” in big font. I used text with the words at the top of the ad.

    For this creative project, based on the novel Feed by M.T. Anderson, I decided to create a propaganda-like poster from the perspective of the Feed makers. The poster presents two people staring at a wall of screen, representing the Feed that they would be looking at in their heads. The slogan at the top of the poster, “Don’t Think— We’ll Do It For You” is how I feel the novel could be summed up in one statement. I decided to convey the novel in this way because to me, one of the most significant meanings behind Feed is letting technology control our thoughts and actions. Thus, represented in the slogan, and the people who are looking at the Feed in front of them.…

    Vintage Camel cigarette advertisements appealed to middle class women and men by luring them in with the idea that smoking was healthy, and resulted in an elevated social status. While implying tobacco soaked in poisonous chemicals was healthy and attractive was irresponsible, to say the least, the big tobacco companies got away with it for several years.

Creating a campaign based on appeal, logic, and surveys, compelled consumers to accept misleading information, and contributed to their advertising success. Vintage Camel cigarette advertisements used a variety of rhetorical strategies to successfully build what remains a multi-billion dollar industry today.…
