Comparing Advertisements

Here is a good example of mobile advertising


 
Here is a bad example of mobile advertising.



Here are two examples of advertisements on vehicles. The semi-truck with the big beer bottle is very innovative. The ad is intended to give a 3-D effect. It is very unique & eye-catching. It captures your attention & imagination. The advertising on the van is very ugly & ineffective. It is covered with small papers that are not readable, unless it is stationary & you are very close. The back window says, “take 1 if you DARE”, & the side window says, “take 1”, but who would know what they’re talking about? Take 1, what? Besides that, it is uglier than a mud fence.

It looks like I’m going to stick with advertising on vehicles. The car is a catchy example of good advertising. This company is advertising their vehicle wraps using custom printing, & top quality, low-cost, eye-catching vinyl decals. You can visit their website at: http://www.carwrap.com
The advertisement on the bus is negative & ugly. It only shows half of the guy’s face, & his mouth is a gross exhaust pipe. Instead, there should be an arrow pointing to the exhaust pipe, with the ad saying, “Look how much pollution we’re making!”

Some of these ads are enough to make a person want to pull their hair out by the roots!







Why I want to take Art 146 abcd Designing for the World Wide Web

I wish to learn the best programs for designing web sites.  I am a returning student.  I took some classes on web design 8 or 9 years ago, but the technology has changed very much, from what it was then. 

I would like to design a few different web sites for my own personal use, & possibly in the future to make money by selling something.  I want to be able to help my son, my church & others with their websites, as well.  If I get good enough at it maybe I could charge for the service of web design.  I have artistic talents.  I used to design & sell handmade jewelery.  I now wish to apply my artistic abilities to web design.
