I think the writer uses bold headlinese because it makes the product stand out. This shows that he is trying to draw people in to buy the product because it makes the product presentable. It could also mean that the bold title makes the product stand out from the rest of them. The word "should be" is direct adress and also an instruction to people to buy this product. The writer may havedone this because by using a basic comand which makes the person want to buy it more.

i think the writer had used a nice and clear image to show the audience what the main point is about the product, the charcoal and flames represents "hot" and the product that he/she is advertising would probably stand for being cold because it is trying to make the audience try out a new product that has a different sensation from the one they are using now.

I Think the Writer has used the text properly because the text fits want it is trying to say and describes what the image is about like 'if your deodorant feels like this' and shows a bunch of burning coal and saying dose your deodorant make you smell like a bunch of coal.

i think the wroter has used bold text during some of his writing so it will catch peoples attention. Using this could mean that he wants the reader to read it first because its the most important part. this also could mean it the writer want the reader to read that part first so they get what the [oster is about becasue if they look at it and dont understand then they will just walk on or leave it. using bold text is effective as it stands out and gets the reader attention

I think the writer has used the images to catch people's attention because if they are using other branded deodorants and it fell like it is burning their skin then Gillette are trying to persuade new customers to move off there old deodorants and move onto their new deodorants which is made especially for sensitive skin and not make their skin feeling like it is burning.

i think the writer has used bold writing to catch the reader, bold writing makes its stand out so its easy to catch the readers eye. Also the writer might of used bold writing because its easy and clear to see, another reason he has used it is because if he uses bold writing and he has small writing aswell they will read the bold writing then the small writing.

the writer has used the color scheme to attract the readers eye, by using a dark and mysterious picture on one side you will immediately want to look at a brighter picture to balance the colors out. the writer has also chosen hot coal to imply the burning sensation of other deodorant but then that image is balanced by an image of a much cooler deodorant in a white background which shows that the gillete deodorant is cooler and don't burn you.

I think that the writer has used this pictures because they are trying to get people to read the text so they are persuade to buy the Gillette deodorant. I also think that the writer has chosen the hot coal because it shows the hot sensation that you get with other deodorants. I think that the writer has used the bold writing because it stands out to you and it's easier to read.

I think that the writer has used colours to attract the readers eye, using dark and mysterious picture on one side you will immediatly want to look at the other picture because it is brighter and balances the colour scheme out a bit with a white background and light blue . The writer has also chosen hot coal to imply the hot burning sensation of the other brands of deodorant, such as the cheaper brands like for e.g. Morrisons own branded, tescos own brand and superdrug own brands all give a burning sensation whereas the colours of the gillette are much more cooler which gives it a nicer vibe also says "for sensative skin" so therefore it wont burn. Also makes you want to buy that deodorant.

i think the writer uses bold titles to attract the reader and draw them in. The colours used are black and red for the hot coals as they are quite dark. And bright white and blue to associate with the coolness of the deoderant being advertised. the titles are quick, short sentences so the reader can easily get the point of the advert without huge chunks of writing.

I think the writer has used a picture of a coal fire because it is trying to explain what normal deodorant feels like. using the colours black and red it shows that the deodorant being advertised stand out well, which makes the reader/ viewer, want to know how the new deodorant feels like. Because of there being a black background to make the red stand out more, it also brings out the bold title, this could of been done to bring in more customers to buy the product because they would recognise and suddenly see the colours and wonder what it was. By using the words 'sensitive skin' it tries to get more people to buy the product by enhancing the amount of people that could by it. So overall the creator of this advert has used this to get people more intrested and want to test and possibly buy this product.

my opinion writer has used bold text to make the poster stand out more and catch the audiences attention and to make it stands out more.

using normal small text wouldn't have such a big event on the audience as it would come across boring and make them not want be interested in the poster,so the writer did use big to make it interesting for the audience

In my opinion the writer has used big bold text to make the poster stand out more and catch the audiences attention and to make it stands out more.

using normal small text wouldn't have such a big impact on the audience as it would come across boring and make them not want to be interested in the poster,so the writer did use big text to make it interesting and emphasise the piece of text.

I think the writer has used a picture to show more detail to the leaflet and also to make it stand also if the reader does not understand the writing the reader will understand what the text is about after lookking at the picture. The writer has also used a logo to show the reader what the make of the product is.The writer is also trying to get the reader to buy the product.

Also the writer has used bold text to make it stand out to the reader.

I believe the advertiser is trying to show it is the best deoderant and is worth the buy. It also shows that if your other deoderants hury you should have a cooler more refreshing spary. its hows this as it has some burning coal and it resembles uncomfordable heat. the spay shows the heat be resolved and bettered

I think that an "image" is a good presentational device to use because it shows the reader an image that is related to the text, also another, reason why an image is good because it gives the reader something else to focus on other than the text. furthermore an image is good because it helps the reader to get a better understanding of the text. it could be easier for the reader to understand. an image can speak louder than a whole side of A4 text. an image has to be related to the text otherewise it will not make sense and finally, an image is a good presemtational device to use because it uses a multi coloured scheme so it can brighten the text
