Preparing for the Final Draft


          For my magazine advertisement, I feel like there is a lot of work to be done. Based on the reading for today’s blog, professional writers see first drafts as the time to begin writing. I’m no professional writer, but I know there is still a lot of work to be done. First of all, I kind of just went into it without really introducing what I’m writing about. I just made one large body paragraph without splitting up the information in the body paragraph and making an introduction and conclusion. As for the information, I feel like I can go way more in depth in analyzing the magazine advertisement. Looking back at my first draft, I feel like I repeated myself a lot but I see where I’m coming from. I really wanted to emphasize the importance of each subliminal hint the magazine advertisement was trying to convey. Some other information I can look into is where the magazine advertisement is from. Finding where the advertisement originally was would help me see who the advertisement was targeting more considering I mentioned in my first draft that the ad can be targeted toward either males or females. Another good idea is to find out the year this ad was released. Finding out the year is important because you’ll be able to relate to the current events of when the ad was released. For what you know, the ad was used in an ESPN magazine during the playoffs of some sport. Besides some things I was missing, I feel like I was able to get the gist of the magazine advertisement such as the literal meaning. To me, it was clear to see that the advertising team went to replace the word fun with the Bud Light bottle. Just thinking about as a potential consumer makes me visualize fun and Bud Light going hand in hand. Other than that, I’m sure there could be some things that I’m missing and once I do catch what I missed, I will be able to add it to my first draft so I can prepare my final draft.
