Presentations

The presentations today were really interesting to me, a few that particularly caught my eye were Katie Griffins', Kwames', and Alyxs'. The picture Katie showed of the gardening store that cleverly used a sign shaped as a shovel was not only something I hadn't seen before, but also something that would have drawn my eye as well when I was younger. The fact that Katie admittedly said she was drawn into the store based on the creativeness of the sign made it more relatable, as well as more credible. Kwames' presentation about the box of Wheaties also interested me, I had never noticed how dramatic they seem to make a box of cereal, or why for that matter. Alyxs' presentation of the Holister models was something that I had semi-thought about, but never in depth. I would always notice the signs and roll my eyes at the blatant sexuality (and obnoxious aroma) of the store. But why they were using that concept to sell their product hadn't crossed my mind.
