1. Pick someone or some aspect of human behavior you want to target. Example: People who are out of shape.
2. Think of some “new invention” you could advertise to these people in a magazine. Example: Walking
3. Think of some of the benefits your target group will receive from your new invention.
4. Now create a magazine advertisement. Your ad should be:
· Colorful
· Have text (it’s a writing assignment!)
