The Art of Advertising

Online, on television, on the radio and on the street; advertisements are everywhere! In this workshop we teach students the tricks of the trade. The students learn to recognise how the advertisers manage to catch our attention and use that to create their own visual advertisement.

Advertisers use all kinds of tricks to catch your attention and make you long for a product you didn’t even know existed! Sometimes their tricks are transparent and obvious but sometimes they are subtle and cleverly effective. In this workshop your students will learn about the tricks of the trade in an interactive and playful manner, discovering different types of influencing techniques, which they will then use to create their very own advertisement.
