An Advertisement in a Magazine
The advertisement that I have chosen is a travel advertisement for New Orleans that appears on the website for a gay men‘s magazine. The ad is trying to encourage gay people to visit New Orleans, which is heavily reliant on tourism. In order to draw attention, this advertisement utilizes a common feature, which is the use of sex appeal to sell a product. In this advertisement, an attractive gay male couple is shown with their arms around each other, wearing plenty of Mardi Gras necklaces. Last but not least, the genre presented here is travel advertising.
