Post Secret: Stand out...why not?

The audience for my post secret are young people who are influenced by media, celebrities, and fashion. My post secret focuses on the theme of being different and it is okay to not look ordinary. Essentially breaking out of conformity, is okay. I included pictures of celebrities with exotic looking hair or makeup to show that these people are incredibly famous and have a massive fan following yet still are able to obtain all of this while being different. I also included a picture of a girl eating a cupcake defying the idea that we all need to be skinny and well-mannered to be liked. My design is composed of quirky, unusual looking images of people who embrace their appearance and enjoy standing out.

Anti-Ad peer review

The peer review for my rough draft went well. It always helps me to get insight from another person regarding which way I should take my paper next and what concepts I should try to focus and expand off of. From this peer review, I am going to focus on expanding more on the description of my actual anti-ad and also be sure to include what audience it is geared towards. Also I may try to incorporate the effect these athletes are having on it's audience and how the audience may be influenced (childhood obesity, false advertising). Children see these sporty cool guys advertising McDonald's and they think by eating the food themselves they will be able to be just like them. However, by eating the food consistently their bodies will eventually transform to become less and less like these athlete's. This is an example of false, or misleading advertising.

Ad spoof

This ad is spoofing the typical fashion advertisements that appear everywhere these days. Typically, especially for high quality fashion designer advertisements, they advertise their clothes on very skinny women making atypical expressions. In the background there tends to be some sort of phrase or word that sets the mood or theme of their fashion line. This ad replaces that catch phrase with the models real thoughts. Her appearance does not even need to be changed from the way it would typically appear in an un-spoofed advertisement because it still demonstrates this look of despair; her hunger. Her body and clothes do not need to be changed either because she is already stick thin, and looks in the need of food.
