Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

· Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?

To remember who you’re giving your money to if you plan on buying a product from a company. Asking yourself if it is worth buying a product. Is the company trustworthy or are they just trying to rip you off.

· Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional

Logical: It’s effective in persuading someone because it’s easier to find results of a product. You can add facts about a product that can be true but also false to manipulate someone into thinking it can be true.

· Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.

Bandwagon: Bandwagon is effective in selling because most people who want to ‘fit in’ usually buy these items that are in style. It makes everyone want to buy them so they can also be cool and keep in fashion with everyone else.

Core Competency Reflection

I showed others that I truly valued their contributions by taking into consideration any changes or ideas my partner had on the project. I wanted to listen to any ideas my partner came up with so we can both contribute our ideas to come up with a decision we both agree on.

I used to think that most advertisement was real in what they said about advertisement and now I know that they aren’t all truthful about their advertisement because persuasion has showed me that they are mostly trying to persuade me into buying their products without thinking.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when my partner said that we should make the colour of the text brighter. So I decided to change all of the text’s colours into a brighter colour of the advertisement so that everyone can see the price better as if highlighting it’s cheap.
