A lot of companies now days are going for minimalistic billboards and magazine ads, these are great because they're easier to ignore.
Next time you see a commercial with some sort of statistic, think about the adverse of the number they throw at you.
Anti-herpes medication:
70% of people infected contracted herpes when their partner had no signs or symptoms of an outbreaks....
This means that 30% of people who contracted herpes saw signs/symptoms, and decided that wanted to have sex with whoever it was anyway.
Now, honestly I can't say it was the full 30% because some people may have opted not to answer or something of that nature, but think about these kinda things next time you see them.
Medication commercials are the most hilarious when it comes to advertisements. Many comedians have pointed these things out before " I want that disease... the one where i get to go rock climbing with a hot chick and a puppy... i want that!"
And it's true! They're not marketing the disease though, they're marketing the cure. This product will make you feel so much better than you do now, you'll do these things. It's insanity!
Universities have done studies about the effects that colors have on emotion, two of the colors I'd like to point out and effects I'd like to point out:
Red and yellow have both been shown to induce hunger.


Now, these two are the best i could think of to represent this in picture form, seeing as the bulk of these labels are indeed red and yellow, but they're not the only ones, Chik-fil-a, sonic, KFC, burger king, papa John's, Pizza hut.... and many more I'm sure.
Make me hungry just thinking about it.
Pay Attention to the world around you, you are apart of it, just like everyone else.

I've always noticed how they tell you all of the good things...like they emphasize them...and all of the bad things...they say at the end when no one really pays attention to the commercial or ad anymore.
We have such short attention spans when it comes to things that don't involve us.
Yay America!
I want food.
