 * B.** Describe briefly the context in which you found it, e.g. upmarket magazine for girls, sports magazine, newspaper, etc. Provide a link to the advertisement.

C. By paying particular attention to the visual images in the advertisement and the way in which these link to the written words, write a paragraph explaining how you "read" the advertisement. You may find it useful to consider some of these factors: Paragraph Here:The colors of the AD was **Pink,green,orange,blue and white**.The framing was a square with black lines and the composition was a white background. The size was a small square a picture and the type of shot is it was made from a computer. Subject matter was the sharpie highlighters. The setting was a white background with drawings made from the highlighters. There was no lighting or pose.And the text was "New sharpie highlighters get highlighters present the highlight of my life" (1 space after each comma)

 * D.** Think about the connotations that you find in the images.
 * 1) Do you find these appealing? No there's just some text and drawings
 * 2) How do you feel they will appeal to other people, of different ages and gender? There was no people involve in this ad. (But the ad is created for a group of people. Which age group would that be? for males or females?)
 * 3) How do the images relate to the product that is being sold? It shows Sharpie highlighters all over it.

You will hear the expression that people are said to be "reading the media". Talk about why you think the expression" reading" is used here, when you usually associate it with written words. Answer here: Because when you are learning about the media your usually reading about it not seeing or listening about it. (So, why are you looking at the colors and images in the ad?)
