Journal 9


I remember those stupid Herbal Essences Shampoo commercials from a while back. They were just so over the top and awkward to watch around family members that it'd hard to forget them. Shampooing your hair DOES NOT feel that good. But hey, it caught my attention. Also, the iPod commercials are really cool. They combine catchy music with silhouetes dancing on a solid color to produce some trippy visuals that you cant help but watch.
I dont like the new commercials for Nintendo DS games. It's just two ditzy girls playing random games and having idle conversation about them. Thats it. It just seems soooo bland and boring.
Anyways, I think that its ok for advertising companies to capitalize off of how we analyze these images. They arent meant to be read into too deeply, theyre supposed to deliver the message to buy a product, and u cant get mad at a company that knows how to do that well
