    The cheeseburgers look extremely fresh as you can still see the shine on the burger, the ad also portrays the veggies of the burgers to be fresh from the farm too as they look as though as someone had just watered them or washed them. Even the bread has this golden brown, as it slightly gets darker as you reach the top of the bun. The cheese on the burger is soft and melted slightly to show that the burgers are warm and ready to eat but not totally melted to show that the burgers had just been made. As it says the names of the cheeseburgers on the bottom, the top of the ad in the same white letters and font it proclaims “big,beefy,bliss”. The back round of the ad is filled with a deep color red as it fills the ad from corner to corner. In the middle of the back round there are also little diamond shapes blended in with the red making the shapes very hard to see. The McDonalds big M symbol is located at the bottom right hand corner of the ad in yellow, the company’s color, along with the famous McDonalds slogan “I’m lovin’ it” in white letters below the

    Commercials make the viewer think about the product being advertised. Because of the amount of television children watch throughout the week, it allows the children to be exposed to the information over and over again.

On a daily basis, a teen will usually view five advertisements and a child aged six to eleven will see around four advertisements (Burger Battles 4). Businesses use this strategy to “speak directly to children” (Ruskin 3). Although the big businesses in the fast ...

    Since I was a little girl, my mother always made it clear that a husband was unobtainable if a woman could not properly tend to his needs. I learned how to cook, how to clean, how to do laundry, and I even learned how to take care of my younger siblings all because, according to my mother, these responsibilities were a woman’s duty; it was her job. For centuries, this has been the mindset of every woman, which has been passed down from generation to generation. A stereotype that has influenced a culture and defined a human being. In this 1930’s Kellogg’s PEP Cereal advertisement we witness yet another stereotype defining women into this sexist housewife persona. Through the use of clothing and appearance, text and audience the ad conveys a

It is for children as they are attracted to the lollipop, and the sugar free part for the health conscious parents. It is appealing to people who want to become physically healthy. Usually, parents who want their children to become physically healthy aren’t going to allow their kids to eat junk food. According to “Consuming Kids” documentary, it was proved that children are the ones that choose what is bought and what isn’t. This is why the main target was supposed to go towards kids. Personally, I wasn’t attracted to the advertisement, as it didn’t target my points of interest and attention.

That is until I watched the shiny new toy being played with by the girl my age and of course the cool new one that came into the happy meal, then I’d forget. After seeing the appealing commercial I’d run to my mom and try to slickly mention it. “You know McDonalds has a new Monster’s Inc. toy in their happy meal. Isn’t that great? “Now I realize that back then I was targeted by big companies to beg my parents for things that I didn’t need or that wasn’t good for me in order to make money.
