Mass Communication Day 4 - Advertising and Public Relations

Advertisements can be annoying or quite entertaining, but no matter how they make you feel, you remember them. By using techniques that appeal to the emotions, Ads not only sell products, but ideas. By watching different body wash commercials, I learned that even though those products seemed to be marketed towards men, they were actually marketed towards women as well since a larger percentage of women buy soap than men.

I also learned what Public Relations actually is - "The practice of managing communication between an organization and it's publics." I was sad to learn that most of the time it is a publicist that writes a celebrity's tweets, not the actually celebrity themselves, not that it really matters to me anyway since I don't have a twitter.

My homework for tonight was to create a personal logo. I chose to add flowers in the background simply because I like them; I also wear them in my hair very often. The bright colors are eye-catching and fun, and cursive is just classy.
