Journal 11

I didn't find it that difficult to create an anti-ad. At first it seemed pretty easy and I feel that it was an interesting assignment, but when it came time for me to actually create my ad, it was harder than I imagined. After looking at adbusters.org, it gave me a better idea of what we were exactly supposed to do. Then, it was challenging not to use the same sort of ad or idea. I didn't know what kind of ad I wanted to do at first, and I chose my ad randomly. I knew that I didn't want to do an ad that everybody was thinking about doing. I enjoyed thinking up the idea more than actually creating my ad, because I couldn't really put my ideas together the way I wanted to. My group members ads are completely different from mine, but I don't think it's going to a problem putting the magazine together because many magazines have different ads in them, to sell different products. All in all, I think this was a good assignment, it was very unique and interesting creating my own ad, and discussing the pros and cons of my regular ad. I think that our group will have a fun time creating the magazine, and our plans are looking pretty good.
