"Healthy" Advertisements

Sydney's essay

After reading Sydney's blog on food advertisements I noticed many similarities between her and my analyses. Health was the main topic found in Sydney's analysis on different tomato ads. This is very similar to the Subway ad I analyzed targeting health-friendly individuals. My advertisement focused on eating fresh while Sydney's focused more on the ingredients included in tomato sauce. These differences may be due to the fact that individuals eat the item right after they buy it at Subway, while tomato sauce is used to cook with and eat later. We both also found our ads were simple in design but full of meaning. She noticed simple colors in design which were also found in my advertisements. Overall, our different advertisements both support health as a main concern among individuals when choosing different food items.
