Journal # 20
My idea was to make one of those silly magazine articles on how to get a guy. I did it in fun so you can see some of my sarcasm. The text reads "how to snag a guy in 10 days." Next to the hand cream it reads, "Nothing is worse than man hands, Dry hands?", next to the lipgloss it says, "Have kissable lips and need lasting color?" Next to the food it says, "Make something yummy! show him you can cook." On the other side it says, "Wear your cute shoes, they make you stand straighter!" By the cookies is says, "Be sweet like a cookie!" It was sort of a play on the magazines and their silliness.
Journal #19
According to Visible Signs this is the definition of myth, "Myths were the result of meaning being generated by the groups in our society who have control of language and the media. These meanings are seen as a part of the natural order of things." (pg., 62) The ad I found is for Chanel's new perfume Chance. The background is white and the perfume is pink. There is a woman wrapped in flowers and ribbon hugging a giant bottle of it closing her eyes. The myth here is that pink, ribbions, and flowers are femine. The ad says if you wear this perfume you will be beautiful and femine. The Denotation is a woman and a bottle of perfume and the connotation is that this perfume is the ultimate in feminity. The ad is effective the ad makes me think if I wear this perfume I will be prettier.
journal # 18
The advertisment I found for this journal is for Tampax Pearl tampons. The ad has a background of a tennis court with a crownd and a net. There is a tennis player in white and a woman in green holding a red box that says, "Mother Nature's monthly gift." The text above mother nature and the tennis player, Serena Williams says, "Mother Nature has met her match." This ad is very effective because the text really delivers the point, If you use this tampon you will feel like you are not on your period. The colors are also very important. Serena is wearing white which says she isn't afraid to leak, Mother Nature is wearing green like nature, and the box is red representing the period. The ad also had a play on an a cultural saying of a monthly gift. The ad is very effective.
The next ad is for Arm and Hammer sonic recharge Spinbrush toothbrush. The background is blue which says reliable and clean--refreshing. The actually toothbrush is red which dictates power and energy. The toothbrush is highlighted with light blue rays of what the eye assumes to be light and make it appear that the brush is sent from Heaven or something. The ad all together is saying, "Buy me because I am a reliable and will clean your teeth like no other toothbrush can. I am sent from Heaven."

The advertisement I found is for Maybelline New York COLORsensational lipstain. The ad is actually a full two-page spread. The background is black and they used the lipstain to draw a flower in pink. The black makes the colors stand out and really stress the colors and their vibrancy.The ad is using different shades and tints of pink, purple, and orange. The color most definitely makes the ad because I notice the colors and the ad is for different colors of lipstain. It makes me want to find a shape that will match my skin tone which is what the ad is alluding to, find one of our tempting shades that is just right for you.
