Ad #24: UNT Ads, Speed Dating

So it is february and valentines day is a week away!! For many single people Valentines day is dreadfully depressing day that is offcially hated!! So to fight the Singles Sadness of Velentines day someone devised an ingenious plan of speed dating. The ad they used to promote this was one of the really neat sign ads that you place in the ground, much like a for rent or grage sale sigin. It is a colorful signewith hearts and such to catch people's attention. The words and dates  and times are large and easily seen. The only problem they could have with this ad is that some people dont look down at these Ads. They are outside and it is cold so most people dont want to stop to stand in the cold and look at it to see what it is all about. Overal I think this is a pretty neat and effective ad though.

Ad #23: UNT Ads, Dirty Business

This ad starts a series of ads that I found on campus, ads 23-25. I had found three different ads and 3 different styles and decided to present them. Each one has it own good and bad attributes, which will be elaborated on in my analysis.

So I got this ad outside of the GAB from a guy holding a clip board and shivering in the 20 degree weather. I didnt know what he was promoting but I figured Id bite just because he looked so pitiful. He explained to me they were getting signatures to shift UNT from coal electricity to cleaner sources. I signed the sheet and a card with my name and email and phones number (both of which were fake i like the cause but hate spam mail). He then gave me this 6"4" paper advocating a movie screening for if I was interested in learning more. I feel like this method is a very good way of getting information out to the audience that is actually interested in their cause. The movie flyer is kind of intersting . I love the oping line taking you behind the light switch and it tells you when and where it is. My problem is it is very ambiguous aout WHAT exactly it is. Also the picture they used cuts into their writing and is also ambigous. It may be because Im blonde but it took me a minute to realize what it was. So in reality this ad inst very effective unless it is explained.

Ad #22:Food Ads, Win Hing

This is another ad I found tucked in mt door, and unlike the Napoli's ad it made me HUNGRY!!!! The front is very nice, in color and the logo catches your attention. It also has their telephone number, the fact that they will deliver, their address and  a samll map to show you where they are (very nifty) when you open it its still very colorful and it is very well organized so you can easily find what you are looking for. Then if your not sure what you might want, on the back cover they have pictures that can make your mouth water. Overall I find this a very attractive and effective ad.

Ad #21: Food Ads, Napoli's Italian Restraunt

This ad and the one following it are a comparison ad of the same type of advertising except on eis done really bad (this one) and one is doen really good (the next one).

Okay so firstly I appoligize for the side ways picture but that is all i could manage. I chose this ad because I really didnt like it. I dont think they did a good job promoting their business. Firstly the flyer is very dull, it is all in black and white and doesnt catch people's attention. They do have some special promotions on the front, but they are in small print and so you dont really see them unles syou are inspecting the ad. Their menu is inside which is a great idea because you know what they offer, but the pictures being in black and white does NOT make it look apetizing. When I found this in my door, I almost threw it away. Overall it is not a good ad, doesn't catch people's attention, and it doesn't make me want to eat their food.

Ad #20: Food Ads, Community Health Fair and Sale

As someone who owns a ranch and believes fully in local farmers, I relly enjoyed this ad. This is a great place to get natural and healthy foos and the flyer lets you know they are having a SALE!! My favorite part oif this though is the middle seciton about learning where your food really comes from, stopping childood obesity and removing corn syrup and transfast from our diets. This target people of all ages that want to eat healthy.

Ad #19: Roomate Wanted

This ad was really unique. At fisrt look you think it is an ad from someone trying to find a roomate, but upon closure inspection you find thats not true. This is actually an ad for a movie. I thought that this was a really priginial way to get information to your target audience. Since this movie is about dorm life, it targets college kids, so to put up a roomate wanted adis a pretty cool way to get people's attention. One problem people could have with this though is that pewople not looking for a roomate might ignore the ad. Or people like me who were looking for a roomate might become irritated that this was a movie ad not a real roomate ad.

Ad #18: Denton Tawkwando Academy

I like this because firstly it is small enough to fit in your pocket. The font gets your attention with a good illistration and tells you who and what they are. Also it doubles as a promotional adbecause the inside is a coupon. I like how it tells you what the coupon offers in large print, but then in small print around it has many of the things the acedemy offers as well as some reasons you should take it. It also has a schedule of available classes on the back. Their webslso present on every page. This is a very informational, functional, attractive ad and I am pretty sure it brought them some business.
