The World Of Advertisements


Factors to be considered when creating advertisements.

Audience
The audience is a group of people that are seeing the advert. The audience is one of the key elements of making a spectacular advertisement. If you know your audience then you will know how to make your ad. For example: If you are presenting to adults, maybe, you can apply the affects of how it will benefit their children.  

Psychology

An advertisement must be able to change the feeling/emotions of 
the audience. If the person might sees your ad ,then, he/she must feel scared or maybe cheerful. There is an ad where they were influencing people to join the army by putting a picture of Hitler trying to take over the Earth. As a result, people felt scared. Or, another example, if a kid watches a funny advertisement then he/she will appreciate the advert and probably want to buy your product. 


Regional Culture.
The language of the advertisement should be appropriate of the country's, which it is advertised in, language and culture. So it would make sense to send a advert to Japan when, in England it means "Coke" but, in Japan it means "Poop". 

Be Creative.

Think about a way that you can of anything and then try warp a way to make it what you are advertising.
The Mercedes did an ad where, in the hare and the tortoise, the tortoise won by driving in a Mercedes AMG.

MY POSTER REFLECTION FOR METHODS OF ADVERTISEMENTS

10/11/2015.

My reflection on what I learned.

I have learned how to tell apart from a good and a bad advertisement. I also learned what a good advertisement to be considered good. 
Me and my partner, Ali, were given 2 photos and we were supposed to tell which one was a good advert and which one was the bad advert.We did that in a snap. The picture on the right was on Coca-Cola and another one didn't even tell which brand they were. That is what made it so easy. 
After that, the teacher started going over the advertisements that were covered by the other students (and ours). We as a class were starting to tell apart which was a good ad and which was not. 

As I have told you, I have learned what a good advert needs. I learned this because, I know there will be an advertisement that must be by us through Desktop Publishing. I did it by collaborating with my friend, the teacher and the class as we all looked at the advertisements.


 This is my Flyer on Dubai Cares. I have applied the answers to the following questions: 1. Who they are, What they have done and if the audience can help Dubai Cares.
