My World Magazine : And Shape Editorial / Advertorial Essay

     Michael Jordan has star power that bridges age, race, and socioeconomic class. Nike understands this aspect of the popular superstar and decided to give him his own clothing line named Jumpman23. It is the most popular form of sports apparel available and the white logo that adorns each article of apparel is known worldwide. Michael Jordan is arguably the most loved and respected athlete of this generation, thus the ad for this company depicted in ESPN The Magazine takes advantage of his immense popularity. In an attempt to expand the companies influence Jumpman23 uses professional baseball player Derrick Jeter to send its message and promote its apparel. In the essay “Absolution for Sale,” Charity

Within the magazine Seventeen it can be clearly seen to reinforce the heteronormative agenda. The heteronormative agenda is the idea and rule that the original nuclear family is the correct way to formulate romantic relationships in society as well as the enforcement that homosexuality is deviant behaviour (Barrett, 29 October 2017). This can be shown through the fact that in over 100 pages of articles, ads, and other magazine generalities I found two accounts of identified homosexuality. This shows a clear lack of representation for homosexual, trans, or other non-cis identified groups. It's very clear that the authors of the articles and the owners of the magazine itself are leaning towards a heteronormative narrative and in that trying to reinforce that same narrative in its readers (targeted groups are between 13 and 18 years of age).

After reading “the Innocent Man” by Pamela Colloff’s who write a long journalism about Michael Morton, who was found guilty for murdering his wife Christine was sentenced for fifteen years in prison. Later founding that Michael was Innocent after reinvestigating his case, capturing DNA testing and finding new evidence was able to help prove his innocence. The theme of this essay a widow husband who seek to fight for his freedom in prison and staying connected with his son. Michal son Eric gave him a reason to have hope that they would one day reunite and his son would know for himself that he did murder his wife. The point of view of this essay although a man is falsely accuse for a crime he did not commit he is self-determined to fight.

In the reading Advertisements R Us, Melissa Rubin expands upon her analysis of Coca-Colas’ 1950 magazine advertisement, and brings many points to light about how the company uses cleverly crafted advertising tactics to appeal to a specific group of Americans. By clearly communicating her evidence to back up the analysis of the advertisement, Ruben composes a thoughtful and persuasive paper. For example, Rubin explains how simple details, such as the use of their slogan on the vending machine pictured which reads “Drink Coca-Cola - Work Refreshed”, and the placement of “Sprite Boy” in the ad, all work together to send a message that makes consumers want to buy their product. Consequently, because of the evidence presented in her writing, Rubin has crafted a paper that I find logical and persuasive.

Body image is an important concept in many adolescent and young adult minds. To have a positive body image is to know that you are beautiful. To be beautiful is to reach the standards of beauty in society. However, society is constantly changing those standards as time goes by. Many young men and women strive to reach the positive, even if it means their health, money, and mind. They have the media, such as magazines to thank for these wonderful standards.

Since people are willing to spend as much money to buy the latest fashion trends/clothing materials advertised on a magazine cover, with two romantic couples especially using a lady as the main target, will people be willing to also buy the same magazine but this time featuring two old couples or the clothing material being advertised? No! Even if people can still afford the payment, they will still get rid of the magazine immediately because that’s not the reality they live in. Majority of us based our life on fantasy instead of facing the reality of life. We tends to be more wasteful and portrays the things that weren’t supposed to be. For example, using women as a figure or symbol of sexuality such as the one portrayed on the Blueberry London Magazine. My point in all this, is that when people look at themselves in the mirror, they always see themselves as minority and not majority, in essence that people don’t often look on the bright side of beauty but always look on the dark and ugly side of fantasy. This ad specifically talks about beauty and how it’s been portrayed in the

Advertising is everywhere, it’s online, billboards, magazines, and the most popular television. Different advertising are mostly targeting towards a certain gender, age, or interests. Covergirl advertising is mostly targeted at women, and is also seen in every place you can think of. You most likely could go up to any girl and ask her-what is the Covergirl slogan? Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Covergirl. Covergirl has done a great job at advertising there make-up products. Covergirl has branched out to every type of advertising there is. They have commercials, bill boards, online ads, there in many magazines, and they are also being promoted on the poplar show America’s Next Top

Throughout this assignment I will be carrying out an in-depth case study of Stylist magazine. This will encompass a detailed analysis of the key aspects of the fashion publication; covering its history, target audience and ownership to ABC figures and competitors.

Gender role bias in advertisements has been so prevalent for so long that the untrained eye wouldn't even discern it. All the same, these biases, for the most part, put women in subordinate positions and men in dominant ones. This assumption on both the genders is unfair and demeaning. These ads portray women as subservient and play toys for men. Not only do the models depict an image nowhere near close to reality, but their bodies are scantily clad and what few clothes they are wearing are very revealing.

Two full page print ads in color, in a magazine, targeting 18 to 34-year-old professionals and their families, who lead active lifestyles. These ads will be targeting health conscious people who want the best for themselves and those they love.

Have you ever looked at an advertisement for clothing and thought to yourself, “Why do they pick models that they pick to advertise their clothing?” In clothing ads today, the companies use models that have a certain image, skinny, toned, muscular, and let’s not forget sexy! Mostly every clothing ad has sex appeal in them, therefore using the appeal to pathos. Not only that, they try to use a logical appeal in their ads too, such as if you want to be cool, look sexy, and fit the crowd, then you must buy their clothing. This then causes the ad to appeal to logos. I see appeals to pathos

The magazine’s mission (mandate or philosophy) is the magazine’s focus. It is what defines the

Advertisements are everywhere these days and can be extremely annoying. They will try and get people to buy anything from food to cars and everything else in between. Advertisements have also started to rely heavily on the sexual elements to sell its products. An example of this advertisement would be the ad for Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s. In this ad, it features Paris Hilton standing in a very seductive way holding a cheeseburger. She takes up half of the ad while the other half is of the actual product with some text. Carl’s Jr. started these racy ads back in 2005 and are known to feature models in bikinis in their advertisements to try and attract younger men. This advertisement heavily relies on sexual appeal to sell its products by using a very sexy and provocative Paris Hilton and using double entendre in its text.

Over the course of the week I have seen a countless amount of advertisements. From the subway to the back of my textbooks, there was no space left ad-less. One of the advertisements that stood out to me was on Buzzfeed. The ad blended in with each quiz I took. At a glance, one would believe that the ads was a question on the quiz, but once they’d click the answer the sponsored ad reveals it’s true content.

When an advertiser places one of their advertisements into a newspaper, they want their advertisement to appeal to the readers of that particular magazine. They could have the exact same message, but considering their audience, they could make it more effective if they use a different strategy to market their product. This is very common for advertising strategies to change when the content of the magazine changes. You can relate the way that the magazine producers choose their ads by when Steve Craig says that "…program producers and schedulers must consider the target audience needs of their clients" (162). The types of advertisements are driven by the content of the magazine. Sports Illustrated provides a
