After a general meeting with Simon my COP tutor, he said that he would like to see something more than what he saw from the presentations. After my presentation I was very confused at which direction I was going to go with, whether I am supporting using emotions to advertise or whether I am against this. Although I am very certain of my subject. I am also clear on what I am wanting to do for my practical, but not too specifically, I am wanting to create a happiness campaign.
In my tutorial I discussed with Simon the effects of advertising and the uses of positive advertising. Also started to talk about the different theorist I am thinking about using in my essay, which include Maslow, with his hierarchy of needs, Pavlov, with creating feelings through association, and Bendoral, how ideals are being sold. After our talk we have decided that Maslow would be most appropriate for me, which is a good thing as I am already very aware of Maslows hierarchy of needs.
