Redesign Reflection

Going into the assignment I thought it would be somewhat easy on coming up with an advertisement to write about. On the other hand I thought it would be difficult to meet the length requirement at first. I knew it would take a great amount of time to work on the assignment but I knew I would be able to do it.

                I just looked though the different ads in different magazines to find advertisements. I had different criteria in my mind that I was looking for in a specific advertisement. When I saw the Kellogg’s advertisement I realized that would be a great advertisement to use. I thought about the different ways I could redesigned it and it seemed to work perfectly.

                When I thought of the redesign I just pictured what it would look like in my head. I thought of what other cereal advertisements looked like and used ideas from that. Since I was redesigning it for the audience to be children it needed to be lively.

                The challenges I faced were meeting the length requirement. I was a page short and was unsure of what to add without repeating myself. I went to the Writing Center to get help with my paper and also asked what I could add to my paper and I was given great suggestions.

                I liked that we were able to pick our own advertisement. Each ones’ advertisement was different so there was not the need to worry that you would be writing the same thing as another student. I was able to pick an advertisement I thought I would be able to easily redesign.

                By doing this redesign I was able to see all the thought process that actually is invested in creating those advertisements. It is not as easy as one would assume it to be. I understand why advertisers can earn so much money is because they have to meet so many needs when coming up with the advertisement.

                The only thing I would do differently if I had the chance to redo the assignment would be to go to the Writing Center sooner. If I would have gone sooner I could have possibly gone back if I had any more questions later on in the paper. There is nothing else that I would have done different though.
