    Shipping Out and Into the Heart of Darkness I was relieved when I found out in Tom Scocca’s interview with David Foster Wallace that Harper’s magazine had the writer cut in half what was a 110-page article.

I think I was possibly feeling a little of what Wallace was feeling, which is a credit to his descriptive and precise prose. “Shipping Out: On the (nearly lethal) Comforts of a Luxury Cruise” displays Wallace’s wit, perception, and humor, as well as his affinity for the big word.…

    The two magazines that I have chosen to analyze my advertisements from are Vogue and Ebony Magazine. The magazine Vogue targets the audience of male and female, but predominantly female targeting an audience range of 17 to early 40’s. As for the Ebony Magazine it draws in an audience equally to males and females. Ebony Magazine targets a much more broad audience than vogue, ranging from as young as seventeen to as old as late 50’s. Ebony Magazine also focuses more on an African American audience, unlike Vogue who focuses more on a Caucasian audience.…

    While most participants attend any cruise events based upon dates, location and cost, they are more likely to have a better time when they can share the same theme, hobbies and even cultural activities as others on the same cruise. You might have heard of certain themed cruises such as Disney cruises, business style gatherings, ski clubs, political cruises, book publisher events, gay cruises, sport and hundreds of niche style cruises.

    When a phone company puts out an advertisement, their main goal is to promote a message to prevent such tragic events from occurring in society. There are many advertisements trying to grab the audience’s attention to make a difference.

    As you can imagine television advertisements are the number one business of making money. But today we 're going to talk about two Geico commercials. Geico is an auto insurance company that offers you 15% off in 15 minutes on car insurance.
