After reading the advertising chapter, it is amazing to see that advertisement is virtually everywhere. Living in new York city it is so easy to pass an advertisement because it is everywhere. it's on buses, inside subway cars, newspapers, websites the list goes on. When I Decided to take notice of the ads, it was almost overwhelming.
Although I must acknowledge the fact that advertisement does influence the public, I can't seem to grasp the amount of influence it has had on me. I have taken advertisement more as a form of entertainment more than anything else.Instead of yearning for the product in the ad on the subway, I would be staring at the photography admiringly.
Yet advertisement itself has transcended itself from just selling to also entertaining. It has become quite common to remember products or companies through their advertisings. They have taken on a less aggressive role but at the same time more effectively persuasive. Very cleverly, advertisors have offered their products and integrated it with popular culture that consumers would want to associate themselves with.
