The vehicle I’ve picked, is a 2016 power stroke. The reason
why I’ve picked a kind of truck is trucks are not for just boys. Ford is the
type of truck that I believe can get you anywhere with a smooth ride. Trucks
are something I’ve grown up with, and definitely something that I could never
give up. I want to advertise that trucks are not only for boys, girls can just
be as risky and exciting to have a truck as well. They also need to haul not
only themselves but also things in the bed. I’m a farmer’s daughter, I’ve got
hay to tools and many other things in the back of my vehicle. Trucks that are
lifted up, and that you can hear the turbo from a mile away is something
exciting for me. The idea for my little town is racing not only cars, but
trucks. Trucks that are as big as they are wide, that are still able to go
pretty fast. There is an excitement, just like boys girls get excited about the
same things. I want to be that person that is unloading a motorcycle out of the
back of my bed, and that is going to do something exciting. I want advertise
that women can be do anything a boy can do, it also brings in the fact that
guys think girls that can do what a guy can do is sexy. Sex sales, which bringing
in women driving jacked up trucks bringing out fun toys like motorcycles will
not only bring in more women into the business. It will also make more men in
thinking it’s a chick magnet. Bringing the all-around effect that trucks are
exciting, you’re so big that you can run someone over. It makes you feel like a
bigger person, that you’re in power of the road.

Week 6: Lady Gaga & Grammy Awards
The
performance behind Lady Gaga in the Grammy Awards is going to be one to
remember. The technology behind it not only entertained everyone, but also
helped advertise people. Not just did Lady Gaga sell herself, but also
broadcast Intel. The technology behind it, is new and also the start of
something big! Not only was it to broad cast, but it also was a celebration of
the honorable man David Bowie. The whole performance came to life, literally
the instruments were moving along on the stage. When Gaga asked the director of
Intel if her piano could move along with her, his reply was why just the piano.
Making all the instruments coming to life, the technology behind it will defiantly
benefit Intel. The performance, was so big it made her even bigger. Who would
not want to pay to watch that happen again? She took the energy of the song,
and gave it more energy with the lights and computers. Also by doing the
performance for Bowie, made her inspiring. Everyone seen a new side of Gaga,
that her career was more than money. It’s something new to see a star bring out
a normal feeling and express it the ways she did. The whole performance made a
hit, it shows after all the hard work and dedication. Gaga not only sold
herself, but also expressed herself. She’s not just a pop singer, but also a
women that was inspired. The technology behind it as well was inspiring, and
she would have not been able to do it without Intel. They have got the
reputation that they can make anything happen, even make Gaga’s make up seem
like skin and change throughout the performance. Intel sold themselves, with all the amazing
technology behind it. The world is changing, and technology is going to be seen
everywhere even in performances.
EOC Week 5:Commercials of Super Bowl
There was not many commercials at the super bowl I thought
were funny or entertaining. I felt like there was not many commercials for beer,
or even car commercial like past years. I think Doritos has made a big impact
on the commercials the past few years, they are so funny that they are remember
able. My favorite hands down was Doritos
commercial this year. It showed a family that was expecting a baby that they
were able to see with an ultrasound. It showed the baby was following the
Doritos that the dad was moving around. Eventually the baby popped out of the
moms belly, by far it’s not realistic. I like the idea that they came up with
something different! It was funny, but still got the meaning over as well.
Doritos also did something that many commercials don’t have, bringing in family
feeling into as well. Made me think of stuff I do with my family, I think they
got the point across. The fact that they brought the family part in, it made
everyone else think of the food they share with each other. This year definitely
was the best for the Dorito, where I did not see one Budweiser commercial showing
their horses this year? I wonder if the prices got so high to do commercials
that was it worth to play more than one. Or do one big one that was remember
able? I think that our society is getting to the point, that we can’t Offord
what we spent money on years ago. It’s
hard to figure new ways to broad cast your company for every super bowl, but I felt
like that watching the commercials were hard for me. I would much rather just watch
the game, which never happens everyone wants to just watch the super bowl
commercials.

Week 2: EOC Red bull
The world’s largest energy drink, a business that makes
almost 6 billion cans a year. Red bull, a company that’s also know for what
they put in their drinks. Red bull is still able to make sales, even though
they are known for using bull sperm in their products. The Red bull business
was created in 1987. An Australian company was inspired by a drink in Thailand,
modifying the ingredients and coming up with a name that was related to where
they got it. Thai meaning red. They also changed the can from the tall, gold, and
blue can to the now short, silver, and blue can. Changing one drink from
Thailand, and making it big everywhere especially in the U.S. Red bull slogan
is “Red bull gives you wings”, giving the understatement that it’s going to
give you the energy, until the lawsuit for 13 million. Which Red bull lost. Red
bull is targeting costumers that are young men, and active in extreme sports. Energy
drinks are known for their energy, but also their health factors. Energy drinks
are not only made with lots of sugar, but there is no facts saying there is any
more sugar or caffeine that could actually affect you. The amount of sugar in
red bull is 80 grams. A cup of coffee has the same amount of caffeine as a can
of red bull. Energy drinks are not supposed
to be mixed with alcoholic beverages, which can make you intoxicated. Red bull
was so well known, that France band it making it illegal to consume. Red bull hit the U.S in 1997. Since then it’s
exploded into a popular flavor to mix into drinks. They have also changed the
flavor of the energy drinks by adding orange, blueberry, cranberry, tropic, and
cherry into it.
Week 4:EOC Role of Women in Contemporary Advertisements
Women has always been advertised as cleaning, cooking, children-Bearn,
sex machines. By showing advertisements of what an “average women” is, the role
that has been with them for as long as they have been. Many commercials and advertisements
use women as a sexism, which has created women as a sex icon. How do we stop
the way of advertisement? There is no stopping, it continues to grow. Ads in
1950’s showed women controlled and influenced by husbands, giving the idea
women are only supposed to be in the kitchen. Are men really better than women?
This was the idea after these advertisements, 1800’s is when the women’s rights
originated. By 1960-70 is when the wave was passed and more women became activist
in the act. Dose these advertisements or commercials end, not even close. You
still see in many products use women as a sex icon, not products like cleaners
but also even beer. Now it makes it even harder for women to be able to get a
job, or even keep one. Sexism is still big, many men or even boys think still
think we can’t do it. By seeing this image over and over in commercials,
billboards, movies, and television. It eventually becomes accepted and a norm,
making it acceptable by not only men but also women. Why can’t women also pick
up responsibilities and roles like men, some women even have to pick up both. Directors
even have divided genders to tell a story, men are like dogs like women are
like cats. We do this to tell a story, but these stories have changed our
prospective about genders. Which makes us also do the same, dividing genders
and roles.
