I feel like the website "We Feel Fine" is a really cool thing to check out from time to time.  See how people in certain parts of the world are feeling compared to other parts of the world.  But I really don't understand what the point of the website is in relation to things happening in the world and the media aspect of things.  It is more just an entertainment feature than anything else.

Creative, boring, dull, to-the-point, and uninteresting.

 There are no people used in this ad but the colors are only black and white which is why this ad seems dull.  Color is what adds more pizazz to an ad and makes people want to read it.  Also by using more than one type of font it makes the ad seem more thought out and realistic.

The product being sold is the automatic shower cleaner.  It is more aimed at adults because they are the ones that would be buying it and usually clean the house.  I would say it is an appealing product too because if there is anything that makes cleaning easier and less time consuming people are going to do it.

I really don't think this ad makes any assumptions about races or gender.  It is aimed at the general public not at a specific gender or race and anyone can afford it not just the weathy.

Yes this ad is socially responsible and it does create realistic expectations for people because anyone can afford and use this product and not just certain people can see this ad.  So it is socially responsible because it is not discriminatory in anyway.

guinessroadsign3 70 Creative Advertisements That Make You Look Twice
Road signs. The more you drink, the slower you react.
Adjectives that describe this ad:
Powerful, eye catching, creative, persuasive, and influential.
In this ad it uses darkness but bright stop signs to direct your attention to them in order to get the point across.

This ad is not necessarily trying to sell anything but more trying to persuade the audience to not drink and drive.  This is appealing because it sends a powerful message that gets the point across to not drink and drive.  It is directed towards anyone that can drive so teens and adults because if you can't drive then this ad wouldn't apply to you at all.

If you were to just look at this ad it wouldn't seem as though it makes any assumptions about race, gender, or class but if you look deeper into the picture it is assuming that a lot of people drink and drive.  This actually probably is true though because i think more people do drink and drive than get caught for it.  Every night on the news there is something about a car accident involving a drunk driver so it is a good assumption to make.

This advertisement should create realistic goals for people to think about because if people are drinking and driving then this ad should open their eyes and make them realize what they are doing is wrong and they need to change something.

35 Nike Print Advertisements That Boosted The Company's Income 15


Adjectives that describe this ad:
Inspirational, lively, clever, amusing, and important.
The people used in this ad is a white woman that looks athletic and attractive.  She has bright clothes on to make her stand out over the rest of the picture.  Also the words at the bottom of the picture are small but powerful because it is telling you to get out in the world and do something.

The product being sold in this ad is athletic apparel and shoes.  It is targeted towards anyone involved in athletics especially running.  This ad works well in selling this product because it makes the person stand out by having the person be attractive and stand out against the rest of the picture.


I don't really think this ad makes any assumptions that anyone is better than anyone else.  It uses a white woman but i don't think it is saying that the white race is any better or woman are any better than anything else, it is just the focal point of the ad.

This ad creates goals for people to get out and exercise and stop relying on new technology to get them through their lives.  They still need to be active because that is one problem with our society today; people are relying to much on technology and not enough on themselves.

Adjectives that describe this ad:
Simple, productive, tasteful, skillful, and attractive.
There aren't really people used in this ad just hands but it uses bright colors to set the focus on the Big Mac box.  The font is small but that is well placed because it makes people focus on the picture more to read it and makes it stay in their mind more.

This has a double meaning, it represents the Big Mac which is one of Mcdonalds biggest selling hamburgers but also it looks like a laptop and it is suppost to show that Mcdonalds now has free Wi-Fi.  This is an appealing ad because it gets people who are hungrys attention and makes the hamburger look big and people want to go buy one.

This ad doesn't really make any assumptions about race, gender, or class but it does have some assumtions about a lot of people are using technology now.  This is true though so its not an inappropriate assumption to make.

Some consequences to this ad is that if people start going to Mcdonalds all the time to use the Wi-Fi then they will obviously be buying food too so this will just add to the obesity problem of our country.  Also this ad is part of social changes because it is showing how important technology is to us now with all the places we need Wi-Fi now.
