The Splot advertisements capture both my identity and American Culture because it gives people, like me, the ability to express themselves. I believe it's important for people to be able to express themselves in any shape or form that they choose. When I first saw the advertisements for Splot, I was very excited because at the time I was wanting to dye my hair purple but couldn't find the right hair dye. So when I saw the advertisement I asked my mom to take me to go get some Splot to dye my hair purple. So the next day, we went and bought two things of hair dye. When I dyed my hair, I was so happy that the hair dye actually worked. The reaction I got from people was amazing, they all loved my hair. And when I started seeing people dying their hair all kinds of colors it was amazing because these people were stepping out and expressing themselves and feeling comfortable about it. I think it's very important for people to express themselves either by dying their hair an extreme color or in any other way they feel comfortable. I also believe advertisements influence a lot of people to do something different or rebel against conformity. I think those type of advertisements are becoming more and more common as more people begin to express themselves more freely.
I like the layout and design of your blog so far Gabby. You seem to have jumped right in and appear to be very confident in the format.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me reflect on how, in a way, even with all the negative aspects of advertising, ads can also be inspirational and aspiration, as well. I like that idea and I happen to agree.
This is a very colorful ad that gets my attention, and I guess that's what happens when someone uses the product--he/she gets a lot of attention.
Thank you! I believe advertisements are good and bad, it all depends on how a person interpets it.
