    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.…

    Featured in the bottom right-hand corner is an attractive well-dressed business woman smoking a Camel cigarette, with a “T” over her mouth and throat area. Over her head is a thought bubble that states the consumer should let their “T” zone act as proof that Camel cigarettes are better than other brands. The “T” zone was a popular approach used in the 1940’s to sell cigarettes. It stood for taste and throat, because vintage cigarette brands tasted bad and irritated the throat. Ironically, the advertisement does not actually state that Camels have a pleasant taste, however it does suggest they might taste better than other brands.…

    The first ad is by Budweiser and is titled “Born the Hard Way”. The appeals the advertisement uses is the Plain Folks Appeal, and the adventure appeal.

His ship started on fire, he cut open his face, his trip was anything but easy. Once he gets to St.Louis he is greeted with a beer at a bar he goes to and the immigrant introduces Budweiser beer to the man who had given him one.…

    Each year there are about 480,000 people who die from smoking and about 41,000 of those deaths are caused by exposure to second hand smoke (CDC). Even with statistics like these, there are people out there that continue to smoke or even consider starting. A person may ask “what pull does cigarette smoking have on society and why do people continue to smoke?” For one thing, cigarette ads, especially back in the day, glamorized the whole concept of smoking. They gave off the idea that a person can become as attractive as a runway model or as popular as a celebrity and they can even receive the attention of the opposite sex just by smoking that specific brand of cigarettes.…

    If a consumer knows what they are looking at and understand what the advertisement is saying or trying to say then they might be more cautious when looking at the advertisements and media in today’s world. The articles “With These Words I Can Sell You Anything” by William Lutz and “The Language of Advertising” by Charles O’Neill explains the use of advertisement and the effect on the target audience. Through the credibility of both authors, the diction they use and how they use it and the tone of both of the authors state their stance and knowledge about the topic of advertising. Overall I do believe that O’Neill’s article is the most effective. O’Neill was very to the point on what he needed to say about advertising.…

    Also, the Marlboro brand name and the picture of the marlboro cigarettes give the ad credibility as well, as Marlboro is a widely recognized brand. Although minimal in this ad, there is also some logical appeal, however flawed it may be. This use of logic is an example of logos, as it suggests that if you smoked normal cigarettes, which are much more harsh, you wouldn’t be able to smoke whenever you liked. However, if you smoke marlboro, you will never feel over-smoked and will be able to fit a cigarette in whenever you need…

    Advertisements as a Genre Commercial advertisement is a genre directed to all people. Although all commercials fall under the same genre, there are many different techniques the author can take, depending on the purpose of the commercial and the audience that the author wants to reach. For example, an advertiser can take the celebrity approach and have a celebrity appearance in the commercial. This shows the audience that if the company is able to have someone famous represent them, they must be legitimate. Also, it allows people to think they can have the perfect life, just like their favorite role model.…
