Ads

The ad on page twenty-four is simple and direct, with a picture that captures the attention and is a quick and easy thing to read. On the flip side, the cartoon on page one captures the attention with a cute cartoon that people love reading, yet it still gets the point across. The advertisement on page twenty-four could be described as an explicit argument, because the point comes across directly, and very strongly, as well as giving the argument strait forward and up front. The picture presented on page one could easily be described as an implicit argument, because the information is presented without being direct and giving a bold statement.

I like how you called the comic cute with a starving person on the left :P lol.
But no I understand you meaning of how a drawing can attract the eye rather a bunch of words.

I agree with what you say here... But I think this blog would have been better if you'd incorporated the difference of genre, and considered the audiences that each of these ads are directed to.

Good work, but you are cutting these a bit short.
