[SOLVED] rebel sell ad
I dont know how to handle this English question and need guidance.
Assignment: Find an ad that attempts the rebel sell or otherwise sells some sort of distinction. Your thesis
should tell me how that ad makes this sell: what appeals does it make? How does it make those appeals? How
is it selling distinction? This is an image analysis paper, so you should break the ad down into parts and show
the reader how the parts work together to make the ad’s argument.
Sample Theses:
1. Xerox’s print ad incMaximc5/06 issue 45 attempts the rebel sell by identifying with creative self-sufficiency.
2. The Pabst Blue print ad in the 78th issue of Stuff effectively makes a rebel sell because it is cynical and self-aware, signaling that it is hip to rebel irony.
3. This ad for the H2 in National Geographic’s September 2005 issue appeals to our desire for distinction from mass-culture because it confers the distinction of financial success, absolute otherness in comparison to everything else on the road, and the unique potential power to explore virgin wilderness.
