good and bad ads

Good Ads.

1. I liked this ad because it made me understand the product I was looking at. It explained what the product could do for me clearly and concisely and even told me where i could get more information if I wanted to.
2. This ad was also good because the pictures drew my attention to it before I looked at anything else on the page. It explained what the people going on this trip would be doing and made it seem like it would be a lot of fun. They also told me where to go for more information.
3. I liked this ad because the artwork was fantastic and it told me when the movies were coming out on DVD. It also included information about extra features about the DVDs like rating and what was on the DVDs besides the movies themselves. I also liked that it included a quote from entertainment weekly.

Bad ads.

1. I did not like this ad because I felt that it did nothing except give me the name of a product and the price for it. It did not explain why it would be better for me to have than any other type of welding helmet
2. This ad was bad because it literally did nothing expect give me a product name and price. It did not explain anything at all about the product.
3. This as had an attractive picture but that is all I can say for it. It only gave me the name of a school and told me a little about a scholarship they offer. It did not tell me anything about the school itself or why I should choose it over any other school.
