Text advertisments







Taco bell ad
1. This ad is trying to get people to want taco bell by using a dog. The dog is a chihuahua and that sounds kind of mexican which is what taco bell wants.
2. This font is serif and bracketed, the weight of the writing is normal. The contrast is a medium contrast and the x-height is short.
3. I think that the font does something for the ad it catches my eye to want to read it but it does not make me want to buy taco bell. I think the font reflects the intentions because they are trying to sell mexican food which has a zesty taste to it and they are using a funky text for it.
Avatar Ad
1. This ad is trying to make you want to see this movie. The picture of the earth and space is saying that this movie is fantasy and it is out of this world.
2. believe it or not- sans-serif, weight is normal, width is normal, and posture is oblique.
James Cameron's- sans-serif, weight is light, width is normal, and there is no contrast.
Avatar-sans serif, weight is bold, width is expanded, and contrast is low.
3. I think the treatment of the font in this ad is effective because with the picture and the text it draws my eye to this ad. I think this reflects the ad because the movie itself is a mystery from this ad and the front/text add to that mystery.
Ralph Lauren Ad
1. This ad is wanting you to buy these kinds of clothes and you will look as good as the model does in this picture. You can be very fashionable.
2.The text is serif, the weight is extra bold, the width is normal and there is a hogh contrast.
3. I think the treatment of the text in this ad is effective because it is bold and out there. I think this reflects the ad because the model in the picture looks like riding a motorcycle is not like her but she is being bold and daring and trying something new.

Self-Criticism




The reason I like this picture is that since it is winter everything is covered in white, except the dirt road and the red house. I like the contrast between the background and the objects in the picture. I like how we start out close to the house and as you look beyond the house everything else is looking further away. I think the exposure is goood in this picture and it is not photoshopped. I took this picture during mid-day and I did this because with the sun up high you get more light. But in this picture it was a little cloudy that day so you didn't get that much light. The sunlight is still there though.

When I was first taking this picture I wasn't really thinking of a meaning to the picture, I was just thinkig this would make a good picture to emualte for ansel adams. But now that I look at it I see some kind of meaning. It is a journey to somewhere, where you are going in life or maybe something that has happened and is repeating itself. In this picture you see this dirt road and I like that it means that you are on a path to where ever you are going. The house is a rest stop, a place you know is safe and you can trust. The background is the mountains and I see this as your path in life and you don't always know where it is going to take you. And that it is never easy. LIfe is full of mysterys and you never know what is going to be thrown at you. And in this photo it is the curve in the road so you don't kwo what lays behind that curve.

I like the way the dirt path and the house are in the picture and give the photo some kind of warmth. You can see that the sow is slowly melting away and that means that spring is coming. I like how I got everything in focus, I know that Ansel Adams was a man that lie taking photos of large land points and showing every detail. But I think next time I think I would have made the background a little unfocused. Because then you really don't know what is going to happen down the road.
