Select 2 advertisements you consider good and 2 you consider bad. Include the ads (or copies) and explain what makes each a good/bad ad.

Good Advertisements:

This first advertisement is one for AT&T. It is one of the "alter-ego" advertisements. This one is my favorite because my dad and I allude to it all of the time. It is a good advertisement because it is memorable, and people allude to it. Also, it gets the point across.

This is another advertisement that is for CitiBank. It is one of a series of many. This is a great advertisement because not only does it get the point across, but it is funny about an issue that would otherwise be too serious. I have remembered this advertisement ever since I saw it in 2006.

Bad Advertisements:

This is an advertisement for Skittles. It is supposed to be funny, but I just found it kind of dramatic. Candy commercials should be funny and light. This commercial was heavy and dramatic.

This is an advertisement for Britney Spear's perfume "Fantasy." After you listen to how she is a beautiful goddess, you have to watch her be chased around. It is an interesting commercial, but I felt like it was just a vain display of Brittney Spears.
