Viewing and Responding to Advertisements

The following selection of advertisements have been designed to raise awareness of environmental issues.

The questions accompanying the ads should assist you to analyse the choices made by the designer and allow you to speculate on how effective each advertisement is in getting across it's message. In your answers aim to create a response that is well structured, has depth and utilises supportive evidence from the stimulus.
You should aim to complete the questions for at least 3 ads during the lesson and 1 for homework - meaning that by Wednesday you must have at least 4 sets of answers for your blog.
I look forward to seeing your responses on the blogs :)

Questions:

1. Provide a brief description of what you see in this advertisement.
2. Explain what you think the purpose of this advertisement is. Support your answer by referring directly to the stimulus.
3. What sort of audience do you think this advertisement is aimed at? Support your answer by referring directly to the stimulus.
4. Why do you think the creator of this advertisement has chosen to use particular graphic features? Consider things like pictures used, colours, size, etc. Explain your answer in depth.
5. Why do you think the creator of this advertisement has chosen to use particular language features? Explain your answer in depth.
6. Do you think the advertisement achieves its purpose? Explain and support your answer.
