aging. by glenn foster


i don't really have much to say about this image that i found over the Internet because as you can see it really speaks for its self. basically this image symbolizes why this company sells you the liquor aged, because the message there getting across is the longer you wait it taste better for a better smoother taste to it. they show an example of this by showing a before and after aging picture of this woman being a nerd in the past and after she aged she looks like this hot sexy like wooooooowww what happened, you will bring her home to mom. this was ironic and hysterical to me.

As I was scanning through the internet this picture caught my eye because it is a picture of the devil driving a car. There is a sign that is on the right side of the road that says Route 666. In other words, route to hell. The car looks like it is throwing out alot of smoke, seems like it could be the tire but since I am all into the environment and alternative sources of energy Global Warming came to mind. Today, cars make up about 30% of the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air that is raising the greenhouse gases. As of today there are new alternative sources of energy being researched such as vegetable oil, bio-diesel, non-fossil methane, and hydrogen fuel cells. Currently, hydrogen fuel cells have had the greatest advancement in research and is probable to have cars out on the market that are also cost efficient probably by 2020. Basically, a hydrogen fuel cell is a device that takes stored chemical energy and converts it to chemical energy and has bi-products of liquid-water and heat; no greenhouse gases. I think that this is a better route to protect our home the earth, and will become alot more popular in the future.

red bull





It shows that red bulls gives you wings, but in fact it does not. The red bull does give you energy. It makes you really pumped up and makes you awake. Overload on caffeine The advertisement on giving you wings cant happen. When i was younger I always wanted to try it to get wings, but little did i know that you cant get wings even if you do drink it. They had so many commercials on how you take one sip and get wings. And then they fly away. That commercial was such an example of how false advertisement is. It should be illegal so that people wont get mislead and buy it. Pictures of this are also misleading making the object bigger than it is. Making the background look awesome to make the picture look cool. These are false advertisement that should be banned so that people cant fall for them.

Here's my symbol. They're any many people out there these days trying to convince you in anyway to buy their product. A big one is the advertisement of alcohol. They will exaggerate anything and everything to trick you into buying their product. I have a picture that is an example of the false ad.This is a vodka ad and it's similar to the go-gurts ad. I know the go-gurts wasn't like a sexual related ad, but it does say you will grow with go-gurts . This is a false statement and it talks you into buying their product. This vodka ad. basically is implying that you will get with someone if you drink your product. When really this is false and they are just persuading you to buy their product. I believe a lot of people fall for this. Whether it's the red bull let says it will give you wings or the go-gurts that make you grow.

I think graffiti is a unique kind of writing. It brings a significant style to writing. The words and letters even drawing are different from regular writing that many people might understand. The shape, size, wording and color is what brings attention to graffiti (why people read it). In my eyes many young people perform graffiti. Older people really don't agree with graffiti and think its not the right thing to do. Some people think graffiti make neighborhoods look bad and graffiti send bad messages with the style of writing. I think graffiti is not always a bad thing because it can send a message to individuals. The message are either negative or positive, but it is a way for people to get there point across and be heard. This is the reason i believe many people put graffiti an building, billboards and other things. On this website called www.graffiticreator.net it gives you options to do with graffiti. The Graffiti Creator is a flash application that gives individuals an opportunity to make there own graffiti-styled logotypes with any style text.

What have we done? -Lonnie



Is it just like what we are doing? We have been reading news that talks about the environment contamination everyday. At the same time, we are doing something that contaminating the earth. People liking seeing problems got solve. It also means, people like seeing others solving problems. However, they forgot about themselves. What can we a normal people do? Exhaust gas from cars, too may plastic bags, these small parts that we had forgotten, are becoming not small anymore. Maybe we will think, yeah, I should not use too many plastic bags, and then drive although the market is very close; or we may think that drive too much is not good, then do a long way bike riding, have a rest and continue with a plastic bottle energy drink. Unfortunately, no one wake up to it. One day, we may taste they water we had used for bath.

Vodka ad - Bryan



A big alcohol market is formed in America. There are many kinds of alcohols that are popular. Vodka is one of them. This an advertisement of vodka. It is Smirnoff Vodka that is mone of the most popular vodka brand. There are many similar advertisement pictures, but i think this one is the most attracting one.
In the picture, there are a few sheep and a bottle of vodka. The picture is very simple, so you wouldn't find anything special unless you look through it very carefully. Do you find anything weird? Let me tell you. As you see, a transparent vodka bottle is placed in front of the sheeps. A sheeps head is overlapped with the bottle. Actually, its body is sheep but head is wolf.
What the advertisement is talking about is duplicity of alcohol. When you have first shot of alcohol, you'll feel good and relaxed. However, as you drink on and on, you will get drunk, and it can harm you. The advertisement is using vodka's property well: transparency. It shows us the importance of understanding characteristics of the product that is being advertised.
