I Know I Know

okay so I know I forgot to write yesterday! I was sitting here on the computer thinking about Media Studies and then I realized that I needed to write a journal entry and Im sorry this is late!
Advertising,advertising what to say about advertising. Well I'm about to do up some papers for my Gala project to give out to the people who come to our table and Im trying to decide what to put on them, I had trouble deciding what aspect of advertising I was going to focus on, because our project pretty much depicts any aspect, from Product familiarity and product placement, to the graphics and ways in which advertising is aimed at a certain audience. On the pamplets I think I'm going to include some facts that Stephanie found and then maybe some information on product familiarity or something, then I have to tape about 60 suckers on the pamplets to make people take the paper and possibly read the information haha.
So this week I have to comment on how adveritsing effects me.. but truthfully I can't recall anything that really stood out. I can either make up some crap which will possibly bore you to death, or I could just keep babbling on and on which I'm really good at but I don't want to waste your time too much. so I guess I try to think of an advertising story. well I went to the St. Thomas university open house today and I noticed that they had advertising everywhere! I guess that kind of ties into the whole advertising thing they had posters and little window stickers that you can put on your car and stuff which was kind of proposterious seeing as we aren't even enrolled into the school yet! I guess they want us to wear their merchandise and support their school but I found it funny how they expected us to do it for them.. I could understand if we went to the university but we haven't even applied for it yet. We are simply taking a tour to see if the university suits us. Although props to St.Thomas for trying to advertise through the students. Window stickers for cars are an effective tool for advertising because cars can go anywhere! and If you place the picture in the right place then a lot of people will see it. well thats about it for me. I'm sorry if this a pointless journal entry. bye! have a greeeeeattt day! :) -Danielle
