* Bright and colourful
* Website link
* Phone number
* Price
* Limited words
* Where to get it from
* Catchy phrases
* Bright and attention grabbing pictures
* Brief information
* Logo for the company that manufactures a product
* Big writing
* Clear writing

* Fast words
* Big lettering
* Bright colours
* Picture of the product being advertised
* Someone using the product
* Telling people why it is good for them
* Emotive words

This week students had to invent a new product or modify an existing product and design an advertisement to sell it. Stay tuned next week to see what some of the advertisements look like.
