Spoof Ad
Name of Original Ad: “Pore Minimizer”
Description: The original ad had a sample of Clinique’s pore minimizing cream with a greenish background and the title “Pore Minimizer”.
I chose to do a spoof of this ad since the title “Pore Minimizer” caught my attention and I immediately got ideas for making fun of the ad. Also, the title said “minimizer” – not “remover”. This could mean that the product doesn’t completely get rid of pimples. It could just be a marketing strategy to sell a potentially expensive product. Usually, these products for skin care are quite expensive.
To make my spoof ad, I resized the image so that it was smaller. I changed the title to “Poor Minimizer”. I also did this on the product itself. I found a funny picture and used it as a big chunk of my background. I then filled in the rest. Additionally, I added an expensive price tag.

If I did a similar assignment, I would make my image “cleaner” and more professional. I would probably need to know more about Photoshop and the various tools to do a good job.
