Adbusters Spoof Ads
Designing Your Spoof Ad

Spoof Ad Assignment- you are to design a magazine cover and/or an ad that pokes fun at something to do with the media. It could be something we went over in class together ie. body image, consumerism, exploitation, branding, or think of something that you are concerned about. You can work together in pairs (do both cover and ad), or solo (choose either).
Brainstorm Ideas: First find 5 adds that are not really selling the product that is on the ad, post them to your blog.  Then you are to bainstorm ideas based on Adbusters criteria. Decide what is your message, Identify your audience, figure out the image and play with the text.
