• 1. Determine the scenario: What happens in this frame?

The scenario includes a handsome man who just gave his date a Tipalet cigar. Is watching her smoke while he stays in the background watching her. He is somewhat captivated by her smoking because of the look on his face.

• 2. What is the setting? What are the conditions?

The setting is in a open place because you can’t really see where they are but from how they are dressed you can get a clue. Or if you use you imitation then you can think of a place where they are indoors.

• 3. Who are the people or groups?

There are only two people in the photo who look as if they are a couple who have just gotten together or they have been dating for a short period of time.

• 4. What is their point of view around this specific experience?

That your going to enjoy looking at a pretty girl smokes their cigars. Because she is going to look pretty while doing it so you just want to sit back and watch. Also its showing girls that “ Oh if your pretty guys are going to want to  look at you smoke” because they would see it as a turn on instead of a turn off.

• 5. What are their goals?

They want more women to smoke because cigars are the manly thing. By having a women smoking it showing that you can still hot while smoking plus people are going to watch you.

• 6. What are their assumptions? What are their perceptions?

If more women see this is ad they will tend to smoke their product more.

• 7. Are there conflicts? Is there cooperation? 

There are not labels with this ad besides it looks like you should be smoking when shocking, some guys don't want girls who are smoking.

• 8. What are the outcomes? That smoking can lead to bad breath , and make you look ugly. Then if you are after a guy who is encouraging you to smoke then you don't need to be with him.

EOC Week 2 : Three Examples of Questionable Ethics

Questionable ads you say well from the looks of things they seem to start at using young children as sex symbols. If you look at the love cosmetic ad . They tend to use the young child as a sex symbol. Making it has if you need to buy this and you can be sexy even if you are below the age of eighteen. In the ad they go on to say “ Because innocence is sexier then you think.” With that being said why would they take a young girl doll her up to sell products? What was the real motive they where trying to get across to their demographics. Rights to photo http://whatwaswrongwithus.com/page/6

The next advertisement I want to talk about would be an Sisley fashion ad. They are already known for testing the limits in what they do to market their brand. Because as a lot of fashion junkies know, they want you to be addicted to their clothing. In the ad that I found contains two models who have been overly drinking. They show that the girls are in a sense abusing it. A lot of different ethics are often challenged when looking at this ad. Some young girls might think that its okay for them to go out and get super wasted when in reality its not fun or cute. They also seem to use their clothing as the drink or drug in their ads to then get their point across.  Rights to photo http://www.stillad.com/sisley-fashion-junkie-if-not-sisley-maybe-a-credit-card-ad-189.htm

In my last advertisement I would have to use the very talk about Carl’s Jr ad with Paris Hilton. Where they tend to say size does not matter. Coming from where she does with a sex tape and others its makes it feel as if they are trying to use sex to sell burgers. That being said a lot of people had taken their catch phases to seriously when we saw them. Leading people to think very  dirty thoughts when looking at the ad.

EOC : Week One VW Lemon

What set the VW Lemon ad set the trend for many different advertisements of it’s time. They changed the face of what advertisement was really like. They thought outside the box. Since most ads had no information ,or too much information.  Volkswagon decide to go outside the box and put just the right amount a little. Like they say a little does go a long way. It also matched the car’s small size. “If this was Volkswagen's idea of a lemon, the Beetle must be a well-built car.”  So by them saying lemon what where they saying that the beetle was the best small car out or where they saying that it was a fresh new car? (http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/1999/11/22/smallb7.html?page=all) With that being said they went into how the beetle was a safe car. Also how it would last you longer then any other car when though it did have the one flaw on glove box the following statement was said “This preoccupation with detail means the VW lasts longer and requires less maintenance, by and large, than other cars.” On the website (http://www.writingfordesigners.com/?p=1731 ). At the end of the advertisment they said “ We pluck the lemons you get the plums. With everything that is being said about the advertisement, I feel as if they got their point across with very little design but more information. The end result being that they want people to but their car even though it had the one belmish. That's why they had the ad being named lemon. "Beetle ads, though, connected with consumers on an emotional level, yet also conveyed a product benefit in a way consumers could relate to. Plus, the ads were breathtakingly simple." Now that they have connected with their consumers on a more personal level.http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/1999/11/15/smallb4.html?page=all

EOC : My Vocie

Fashion is not just a hobby to me its something that was born into me. When I little unlike most girls I was not just playing with my Barbie dolls I was looking at their outfits to see what I could change and what would go best with what. That’s when I figured out that I wanted to study fashion in the future. As I went through life my passion for fashion grew right along with me. When I began my third year in high school I started the fashion program learning the history of fashion, fundamentals and also how to create different pieces of clothing. I then was able to get bumped up in classes. By the end of my senior year I created outfits for two fashion shows that my school had put on, then working backstage at one of them. Now that I have done small amounts of working with the fashion world and doing some styling for friends who model. Now that im a little older and wiser I want to create a line known as “Forever Fashion” since fashion is forever in bedded into our lives. Then as my line grows I want to be able to open “Forever Fashion” clothing stores with one of a kind dresses. Some of my high school fashion teacher, ‘If fashion does not change then the world does not change”.
