> ==This advertizement uses a blend of red, gray, white, and black. The 3DS is in the bottom right corner, with the text at the top and bottom left corner. Even though the background is back, the 3DS is well lit and bright. The 3DS is small compared to the text, so it doesn't take up as much space in the ad. It is positioned open so that viewers can see the 3DS and potentially buy it.==

==I think that the expression "reading the media" is used here because you are reading the elements in this certain ad and reading its meaning. People usually associate reading with books and words because that is what it's most commonly used for. However, you can also read pictures, music, dances, and other art forms. You can be able to "read" the meaning of the media, such as how a song's lyrics has a meaning and how a painting has a meaning.==
