Blog Assignment #2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei6JvK0W60I&feature=related
This you tube video is promoting all of Doves products in Doves Campaign for Real Beauty. This ad is very symbolic and moving when you really put it in perspective. The ad pasted above is showing an innocent girl. Shortly after, the ad transitions to a wide variety of commercial clips and magazine ads of diets, beauty tips and quick fixes to look beautiful as "beautiful" is portrayed in today's society. This ad really strikes me because it is so contemporary with today's society and the effects media is having on young children, showing them what to think beauty is, what they should look like.
This Dove ad would and already has made me a consumer of its products because of this inspiring You Tube clip. Dove supports a naturally beautiful, curvacious, confident person. By buying this product, you are helping put a stop to the cosmetic products that are being sold with empty promises to make you look thinner, younger, taller. This ad to me is more than effective, I personally believe everyone has been self-concious at one time or another growing up. With that being said, I believe everyone can relate to wanting to be healthy, natural and beautiful person. Without the gimics.

  2. Unfortunatley I was out of town to attend the RAW events, besides the event my group and myself completed. As far as Responsibility Always Wins goes...we most definatly gave SIUC students entertainment on their way to class. I am not so sure any of the students took the activities seriously, because they probably went out and got wasted that same night. Maybe if the event thrown for RAW consisted of fifty students or so, more of a crowd would have came and got the message that binge drinking is serious and very harmful. All in all the group project that I took part in was fun :)
