Effective & Ineffective Advertisements

Ineffective Advertisements
1)I don't believe this advertisement is effective because the quote on the billboard; 'weapons of mass destruction' is the type of quote that you would find on a billboard advertising a film. I also believe that the giant image of a cigarette butt and the fact down the bottom; '5 million deaths each year' would not encourage anyone to go out of their way to give up their addiction. Frankly I think the advertisement is too...boring?

2)I don't think this advertisement is effective because at first I didn't get it(the pizza bit). And if it's on a billboard next to a road, people are going to drive past and not bother thinking about it once they've realised they might actually have to think about it(to get it). Also, who wants to call a strange number to agree that the solar system needs nine planets?

Effective Advertisements
1)I think that this advertisement is effective because it describes in a metaphorical sense that Red Bull 'gives you wings'. Aka- it gives you a lot of energy. The heading of this advertisement 'take off in seconds, airborne for hours' is basically saying that it makes you feel energetic for a long period of time, but being worded the way it is shows that it is aimed at a younger audiences(15-30 years of age).

2) This is a much better ad. than the previous cigarette advertisement. Is shows directly what may happen to you if you smoke(as in die; not get shot in the head). The cigarette smoke makes a fantastic reprasentation of a gun which is pointed at the smokers head to suggest that you indeed may die from smoking cigarettes.
