1. Who’s responsible for the ad? Look for the logo, which is the
symbol representing the brand. When you find it,
ask yourself what you know about the brand. Do you like it?
Does it have a good reputation? In this case, Zed is
responsible for this ad. It’s the company that picked everything
in the ad to convince you to buy its products.
2. What is the ad actually saying? Remember to look at more
than words. Everything in an ad is a message to you:
the pictures, the colors, the feel – and the words. In this ad, you
could find a bunch of messages: if you wear Zed
clothes, you’ll be hip; you can dress well for not a lot of money;
if you buy these new, stylish clothes, you won’t
feel guilty; if you wear these clothes; you’ll be happy and have
cool friends; if you buy Zed, you’ll be cool like
these kids. Basically, whatever you think the ad is saying to you
is right.
3. What does the ad want me to do? Buy clothes from Zed.
4. Who do you think this ad is for? Probably girls, maybe ages
12-20.
5. What do you see that makes you think that? The pictures of
high school or college girls (though there are two guys,
so they may sell guy’s clothes, too). And the logo has a kind of
flowery pattern, which might be more for girls.
