Reading an advertisement and understanding who the target audience is, might be difficult; however, there are some strategies that help to read and understand it. The first strategy is visualizing. While looking at an advertisement, try to visualize what the Ad is trying to express and who is the target audience. Most advertisements are published for the people in the community. The second strategy is looking it over. If you have difficulties in understanding what the ad is trying to develop, look at it over and over, or re-read it to understand the point of it. The third strategy is reading between the lines or behind a picture. Sometimes the advertisement has some hidden information behind a paragraph or a sentence or even a picture; so try to imagine and predict what the ad is trying to explain. In conclusion, following these strategies could help you understand any advertisement or knowing who the target audience is.
Reviews of: "Reading An Advertisment"
:
im an ads major and you did pretty good except it's not effestive advertising if someone has to struggle with its meaning!
this essay is not detailed.
It is too short
It tells us the stradegies but does not explain well how to use them, for example visualizing....he/she has to explain that what parts of the advertisments can be visualized because some advertisements do not require any visualising. They turn out to be as straight forward as possible. And also in the first line he/she says "understanding who the target audience is, might be difficult" and should explain how to understand who the target audience is but in the 3rd and 4th line says "try to visualize what the Ad is trying to express and who is the target audience" (he/she has not explained how to understand who the target audience is), but the fact that he included "read between the lines" was very good but agained has not explained how to do this, perhaps giving some examples would be good... I would grade this a 3/10.
yes, the essay could use some more work.also try writing more smoothly.
You must extend and develop your thoughts more. You've got some really good ideas. Now what you have to do is back up your ideas. Maybe giving some examples would help.

For one paragraph good
For one paragraph this is a good read. I think that you could have said a lot more on this topic and think that you should expand it. One more thing, it's pretty much a wide spread "known" that the words "in conclusion" are a no no... They weaken any paper. Avoid using them. Nonetheless, for one paragraph this is very good insight for anyone to take into consideration.
