Language Scrapbook 1

The text i have found most interesting over the weekend is an advert for hair shampoo.text like this one can be found in a magazine, tv or round towns on posters, it is short and concise using persuasive methods to attract the reader.
The reader/ audience of this text would usually be aimed at females hence the model.Although this could be aimed at anyone who is looking for a low cost shampoo thats better than the one they are currently using.
The purpose of the text is for people to buy the produce being advertised. By the use of rhetorical questions it makes the audience question themselves 'who says you can't have it all?'. This makes the reader think that they CAN have it all. '#1 awarded hair brand', this information makes the audience trust the brand as the rest of the population must love it!
When the text was first written there would of been a lot of thought that had gone into it to make it the best it could be. for example the image used is what firstly grabs the audiences attention, the rhetorical question is in a bold font which stands out. Also the '#1' in a star represents the success of the company and product which also ties in with the sparkling background.
The way in which the text is written rather than spoken makes it stay in peoples mind as there is a difference between listening and hearing which means they remember it and the way in which it is advertised.The font and size of the writing is very important as if you are viewing it from a distance it is still readable.
