Three Magazine Advertisements Analysis

Improved Essays
I choose three magazine advertisements. The third choice was 'I'll have what's she wearing' about a diamond ring. I selected this as my third because shiny things capture attention and thinking about shiny things tend to make people happy. My ring makes me happy. And the slogan was familiar because it's coined and paraphrased from the popular pop cultured line from the movie 'When Harry Met Sally' during the fake orgasm scene between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. The second ad was about Viviscal, a product that proclaims it gives you thicker and fuller hair, it appealed to me because thick and full hair is the epitome of being beautiful. I didn't pick it as my official cue card because I don't feel my hair is thick enough to pull off the commercial and I cannot afford clip in extensions at the moment. I was drawn to the ad because I want what they're advertising. Plus the proper pronunciation of the product 'viviscal' was daunting to continuously pronounce it right. …show more content…
It's a hair straightener that is a brush, which makes use super easy and as a generation who demands quick results (and I personally hate styling my own hair) it's something I actually would try myself.

Writing it out helped familiarize myself, so while looking at my cue card finding the proper places to talk to my friend was easier to accomplish.

My experience practising is that it is a lot harder than it looks and it's something that requires immense amount of skill and effort to pull off and hours should be spent to put the time into learning the proper technique. It's something that has to be up kept and harnessed just to remain believable and calm.

While I worked on my technique it did get easier, It's still a bit rough around the edges as I am still getting my brain to juggle all the guidelines at

The MagnaSoles article references false logos such as pseudoscience as well other nonscientific terms and concepts to advertise their product.
