The Ad I Have Chosen

The ad I have chosen is Ralph Lauren, in the ad there is a model striking a pose. The model has long hair that is covering her shoulders, she is wearing a sleeveless blouse, and destroyed jeans with her hands placed on her hips. What’s abnormal and hard to ignore is how slim the model is. This ad objectifies women and how they try to live up to unrealistic images. Women feel it’s important to imamate these images that they see in the media because it’s “beautiful”. The intended audience is young adults; they are more acceptable to the media. I think that young adults are more acceptable because they can easily view these images in magazines, internet, television, and on billboards. Also young adults pay more attention to the media. Other models also have to compete with other models to get jobs with designers so they are constantly starving themselves to be slimmer than there competition.

This ad has targeted this particular audience because young adults are very in to fashion. This ad targets them specifically because this outfit being advertised is what young adults wear. Models are targeted because of the model in the advertisement. They are always competing to be better than the other models and to get designers attention so that they will be chosen to wear their clothing in photo shoots or fashion shows.

day 1 of english104:)

I am Kayde Osborn; I’m from St. Joseph, Missouri but I have grown up in the small town of Savannah, Missouri.  I have had a lot of experience with reading and writing throughout school.  I like to write, I enjoy being able to spill my thoughts on to a piece of paper instead of talking. Reading does not excite me one bit. In high school I would sink as low as I could in my desk hoping my teacher wouldn’t call on me to read out loud.  However I like to read to myself, I love real life stories. My favorite book so far is “Dear John.”  I would like my classmates to know my first draft is my shittiest.  My writing strengths happen to be that I...I really don’t know but I’m really good at comprehending what I read, most of the time.  I sometimes don’t have the patients to read. These practices excite me because I have improved in reading and writing in English 100 and I know I will improve even further after this semester.
