This is a very very sexual picture by American Apparel, there is no humour in this shock advertisement. 

Shock advertising is when a advert is very shocking to look at, some even get banned because people believe they are too shocking to be shown. As i have shown day to day adverts i have also shown commercial adverts such as Tom Ford and American Apparel.
People and campaigns do shock advertising because they want to get that advert across to many people but it can be for all different reasons such as there is ones fore health, fashion, religion, humours, etc.
Tom Ford and American Apparel are a sexual advertising brands that there audience are young professionals, also students more for American Apparel.  Even though some people like sexual adverts some people think that its very offending because they believe sexual advertising should not be shown and also should not be advertise anywhere. 
A humous advertisement would be where the advertisement is trying to come across in a funny humour way but also some people think that you should not laugh in an a shock advertisement because some humans get offended.
My opinion on health shock advertisement is the one that i believe it should not be shown on social media or should not be advertised at all because i believe it makes people do bad health to themselves even though it may be getting the message across but in my mind i believe people do not listen or take advice of health shock advertisements. Such as people who have smoked for many years believe if stopping over 30 that it does not effect your body as much because they have smoked for over a decade. However in other opinions people believe if you do read the advice of shock advertisements then it will make you health disappear therefore people have so different opinions on shock advertisements therefore it does not work or relay on everybody.

  1. Gabi you have completed a broad range of research and considered different messages being portrayed. You need support your imagery by explaining specifically what message is being portrayed and make comparisons. For example is it a positive/negative image, what emotions are being portrayed, is there a story behind the image.
