The laguage of advertising


I chose to write a response to Charles A. O'Neill's essay " The Language of Advertising", because Personally I completely agree with O'Neill, simply because I believe that advertisements will always be a part of our lives. There's no way to avoid them, and I think that people are definitely capable of thinking for themselves and I think it's time to start doing that when it comes to making decisions about what were buying and not have big corporations make these decisions for us. If we had a better understanding for advertisements and truly new the pros and cons of a product that was being sold, instead of letting them hypnotize us, we could be able to make that buying decision independently and not feel pressured to buy it if you didn't want to.

Lipton Superfruit AD

The advertisement I chose was Lipton Green Tea Superfruit. I chose this ad because it showed more being sold than just the tea. I visually see it promoting health by all the different variety of fruits that are being presented into the tea. It really gives you an idea of how fruity the tea may taste. If you're a FRUIT LOVER...this is a great way to draw you to Lipton's Greentea Superfruit!
