Homework Thursday 27th August- Bullying Add

1. The message behind this advertsiment is to stop bullying and to stop people thinking that if they bully people they will be cool and the bigger person.

2. The colour scheme i choose is a very bright yellow. I choose this because it really grabs your attention and makes it hard not to see the advert.

3. I think this add will be quite effective as it has a slogan which really makes you think about how bullying does not make you cool or the bigger person. It also has relevant photos and pictures.

4. The target audience for my add is kids and teenagers for both females and males. The reason i choose this target audience is because although adults have work place bullying it isnt the same as school yard bullying. The cartoon photo gains the attention of younger school students and the real photo of someone filming a fight really gains teenagers attention.

ADD IS ON A WORD DOCUMENT AND WONT UPLOAD!

Week 7 Book Review

At the moment I am reading a book written by Jodi Picoult called “My Sisters Keeper”. I am about a quarter of the way through and I am really enjoying it. I really like how she has wrote it with the different perspectives and I am starting to unravel the plot. The characters are all clear to me now, there is Kate who is sick with cancer, Anna her little sister who the book is mainly based on, Jesse the older brother, Campbell Anna’s lawyer she has hired to sue her parents, Brian Kate, Anna’s and Jesses Dad and Sara Kate Anna’s and Jesses Mum.

The Real Cost of Posh's Locks Editors Letter (Disagree)

Dear Editor

I just read the article “The Real Cost of Posh’s Locks” and I am strongly disagree on it and don’t think it should have ever been produced in the first place! As a owner of a hair salon I sell human hair extensions to many women and the smiles and gratification I receive when I am finished gluing in the many strands of hair so that the customer have long lushes hair is more worth it than worrying about Indian girls who shave there hair for a religious ceremony and were worrying that they don’t get paid.

My beauty salon specialises in human hair extensions and the amount of people who buy them illustrates that know one thinks about where the hair comes form and they don’t need to know. I make huge profits out of human hair extensions and don’t need some newspaper who has nothing that people actually want to read about and actually care about to write that we shouldn’t get them!

The Real Cost of Posh's Locks Editors Letter (Agree)

Dear Editor

This article that I read yesterday brought to my attention of where the long locks for hair extensions really come from. As an owner of a hair salon I sell hair extensions to many young ladies but after reading this article I think I am going to stop!

I did not know that in Northern India thousands of women were divesting themselves from their crowning glory. As a beauty therapist as well I earn a living and have a passion for making women look and feel their best but knowing that young Indian women have to shave our heads and don’t get any sort of profit or even acknowledgement from it.

I hope lots of people read this article and that people take after me and stop selling real human hair extensions. There are alternatives to real human hair extensions such as acrylic hair or hair pieces.
