ANALYZING ADVERTISMENTS
1) This advertisement is advertising something called the picturephone.
2) This advert is mostly aimed at adults, and there is a higher chance of ladies buying it.
3) This picture is showing that a lady is calling someone.
4) I personally wouldn't buys this because now everyone has phones and everyone has skype. If it was in the olden times I would buy it because at that time they didn't have phones.
Reflection for the picturephone:
Now I have learnt the techniques for advertising and it was interesting to learn about it
Admongo reflection:
I learnt a lot of new ways the people advertise playing this game.
It was interesting and challenging to play, and it was also fun. I learnt that the more you play the more you learn and the harder the level gets. I also learnt about what advertisers do to make their product popular.

Reflection:
The company is responsible for the ad. I know that the ''Slip 'N Slide'' is targeted at kids because in the picture it shows that some kids playing on top of it and sliding. I think that the ad technique they used in this is games and activities. This ad says that you and your friend will have fun. This says that the people who buy this will have a nice time.

I am talking about breast cancer because
thousands of women die each year, and a lot of these are moms of children. Breast
cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissues. Breast cancer rarely
happens for women under forty. 1020 people who are 40 or younger died because
of breast cancer 11970 people who were 50- 64 died the same year. 22,870 people
who were 65+ aged people also died that same year in (2013) in America. This
happens a lot of times a year, and if you don't notice it soon you can die. At
early stages you need to do screening. There rarely are any breast cancer
survivors. But you can save your own lives if you go to the doctor and find out
at the first stage. If you don’t find out soon and you have reached the last
stage there will be a higher possibility of people dying. Not a lot of people
were diagnosed. 1 in 8 women in the US will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their
lifetime. Signs of breast cancer may include a lump in your breast, a change in
the shape of your breast, indentation of the skin, fluid/ liquid coming
from the nipple, or a red scaly patch of skin. The lump would feel like
a lemon seed, and its immovable.
Some of the ways people get breast cancer include:
·
Increasing
age
·
It happens
in your family
·
When
you don’t exercise much
·
And
too much alcohol consumption
I am trying
to make awareness because I care.

Reflection:
Today I learnt a lot about how to make an advertisement and how to plan it out. I also learnt a lot of new advertisement techniques.
In Term 1 you created Blogs and were demonstrated the working of blogs in class. Practical activities were tailor made for you so that you acquire the skills required for blogging like posting information, images etc. Since the subject caters to design technology you had the opportunity to understand and grasp the subject better and display your progress through the design cycle by way of activities and tasks that varied from displaying videos and activity sequencing along with the teacher blog for further reference. The current unit about advertisements enables you to design adverts based on techniques that designers use to create adverts. You were introduced to different kinds of advertising and target audiences. You were given a number of advertisements to be analysed which after discussion enabled you to understand the advertising techniques. You were given the choice of selecting an advert and scrutinizing it so as to create a design situation to re-create the advertisement.
ReplyDeleteDivya, your blog displays systematic understanding of key concepts. Your reflections for the Admongo game seem to be missing. You must attempt more levels of the game and reflect upon them. The paragraph on Design situation could have a sentence on why this is close to your heart by sharing any personal experience in your family/friends. Your level for this criterion is 6/8.
