Visual Ads: High fashion

So, for class, we were supposed to find a visual advertisment with an argument. But, honestly, I had difficulties in finding those ads. I mean, every ad is argumentable unless it is advertising something that is set fact. Ads such as those for cars are extremely controversial. Yet, every ad is argumentative because it's one view of one person or company and not all share the same ideas or beliefs. This ad here to the right is a clothing ad for the company Express Clothing. They are trying to show that Express Clothing can be chic and like designer brands. Express Clothing, yet, is known for its good prices and variety of half priced designer like clothing. They are trying to argue that Express is high fashion by using sleek, clean photography and quotes from recognizable names in the fashion industry. Its eye catching with the big letters and with the woman at the bottom, drapped along a wood desk and intricate leaf work behind her. The way its set up portrays high fashion, expensive, chic, and modern. Yet, others might not view this the same way as the company and photographer does. They could see this as a shabby way to get consumers to buy their products. To lure in girls with the thought of, "If you buy that dress, you can look high fashion just like her." Overall, I think this is an effect ad in portraying its argument, its high fashion and classy, with just a bit of edge to it.

Epic: Green Wing

My roommate, Kait, and I are addicted to this show. We have gone through every episode, a dozen times. We do have our moments, where we'll watch something else, like in my previous blog about the x-files. Yet, we constantly are quoting this show and talking in a british accent. Its wonderful, so great. And the show is absolutely hilarious. It's basically a british version of Scrubs, but better. Its set in a working hospital, actually, which I think is magnificent.

Sue White is the staff liason and is Scottish. Her accent is brilliant. "You're allllllll a bunch of fatties! You can't have that, you're far to fat!" She is very coarse but funny. In the picture, she's the one in the middle, in the back, wearing a pink ballerina outfit. She is obsessed with Dr. Macartney, the man with the red hair.

Dr. Macartney is dreamy aha. He's witty and cunning and his jokes are hilarious. Him and Guy Secretan are always getting into fights with each other and making fun of each other, yet they play well.

Guy Secretan is the man in the kilt. And is a total snob and is egotistical and machoistic. With his furry hair and his big teeth, I personally don't like him, but his character is hilarious.

Everything is hilarious about this show, but the man that takes the cake is Dr. Alan Statham, Consultant Radiologist. I can't really express how funny he is. He just.....IS funny.

Please watch this show. Search Green Wing. They only made two seasons, but I hope they come to their senses and make more.
