In today's workshop, we were told to name as many Advertising devices as possible and then narrow them down, categorize them into groups and place them on paper.Here are just some of the devices I thought of straight away:
Viral, facebook, Myspace, conversation, Youtube, print, radio, BTV, books, email, walls, letters, packaging, internet, msn, tees, balloons, pop ups, bills, teletext, tv shopping, tags, landmarks, oysters, twitter, bebo, postcards, stamps, colour, sight, smell, hear, touch, taste, flash mop, chants, songs, logos, typo, artworks, statues, symbols, prayers, bible, beliefs and Gods.
We were then asked a few questions regarding the devices we mentioned:
Do we need permission?
What is traditional?
What will break the law?
It has a limit budge (£200)?
Have to include a professional?
After crossing out some of the devices after the questions, we came to conclude that a lot of the devices can be done ourselves and doesn't cost a fortune to use. I have to say its a fast and easy way to make us realize the different things we can do by ourselves.
