Closing Blog

As the semester has finally come to an end, I wanted to talk about how my first experience with blogging has gone. It has been surprisingly fun and it was cool to be able to critique different advertisements--specifically in my case, commercials and print ads. Advertising is all around us and it was really the first time in my life that I was attentive about it and did some deeper digging to think about things like: who's the target market? Were they successfully reached? What is the objective of the ad? What is their single-minded proposition? Why did they make their print ad so small or large? Why did they choose those colors? Does wordy or not wordy help a specific advertisement? There are so many aspects to advertising that I never took the time to realize. Originally, when I first heard about this assignment of having to blog two times a week, I was pretty unhappy about it. I had never blogged before and didn't really know what to do. Four months later, I am certain I will continue to blog. I am going to change my blog site because I will probably go another route in my blogging that isn't directly at advertisements. I'm sure there will be some blogs of me critiquing and criticizing certain ads but I just want to blog about different situations going on in the world around me. I want to thank Jane, my advertising teacher this semester, for allowing me and everyone else in the class to be exposed to blogging because I know if I never took this class, I would never consider blogging...ever! So thank you! I'm out for now...until next time bloggers!
