This add shows how lipstick looks amazing on girls, which is good because it sells the product. The add shows all the different types of lipstick and how good it looks. However this add has the same problem as all the other adds, it makes girls think that they need to wear lipstick in order to look good. I personally think that it looks good on girls but not wearing lipstick makes no difference which is not what this add is telling us, because when you see it, it gives you "need" to wear lipstick. This is just like an add for hair, when i see a magazine with a guy who has really cool hair it makes me feel like my hair sucks and i should change it like his.

This add is showing how cigarette is popular, and how a "hot" girl like in the picture smokes which makes her cool, making the cigarettes look cool and fashionable, the way the box says capri. However this add doesn't tell that cigarettes are bad for you and will end up killing you, there is a little warning box that shows tells that its bad for pregnant women but it doesn't say its bad for regular people. This could be seen as if they company is "killing" people to get a high amount of profit and since they are they wont stop.

This add is makes people want to have this gum. It seems so strong with all the explosions on the back. When i see this add i want to go to the store and buy this gum. Although i think that this add isn't has some things that don't match. Because it makes people think that their breath will smell really good and that they have to have gum to survive and smell nice, but it just becomes an addiction making you buy more and more everyday. And this add makes the sell because of the way its shown a pack of gum with explosions at the back shows how strong and powerful it is and it will blow your breath away. After seeing this add i went down to my kitchen and took a piece of gum, because this add works..

Adds from a youth magazine



This is the first add i want to critique because the cover shows a beautiful girl with blond hair, blue eyes, white skin and no pimples. And this add is very wrong because its telling all teens that hot girls should look like this and not have a single pimple have blue eyes with blond hair, because that's what most of the girls in the cover of magazines look like. Which means that this add is probably affecting a lot of teen girls.


This add is good for the product, because it shows a pretty girl which all teen girls want to look like. Which means that they will buy it and find out everything they can so they can look like her. The first thing i see when i look at this add is a "hot" blond, which is probably what everyone is going to see as well. If they picked an ugly person with their hair all messed up, not wearing make up and   full of pimples, no one would ever buy the magazine and the business would die straight away, this is why they need a "perfect" girl for their cover of the magazine.

Mirror assigment

As i started looking at the mirror my first reaction was fixing my hair, then i looked at my teeth and "checked my self out", but after 30 seconds i started to see blackness and i did not think of absolutely anything. Until i started to wonder why are we alive, what's the point of this what would happen when we die or where were we before we were born, i mean we can't just pop out of nowhere we have to come from somewhere. Right after i had that thought i forgot to why i was looking at the mirror and remembered that it was for an english assignment so i fixed my hair again and the 5 minutes flew by.
