Need help with an English assignment

So I'm pretty stumped on an English writing assignment that I have to complete and need some urgent help!

Here is the essay topic: Choose a print advertisement of your choice and write a three-part analysis of its message and how it attempts to persuade.

I'm not sure which print advertisement to choose. Any ideas?

I don't know any specific ads but I know PETA ads are really controversial, they cause a huge commotion.

I was thinking of PETA adds too!

I was looking at these adds: http://www.onextrapixel.com/2010/02/25/80-extreme-advertisements-that-will-challenge-your-mind/

Not sure if any of them appeal to me.

Maybe you could do a print ad on those high class stores like neiman marcus or nordstroms and start your own controversy with the haves and have nots

What about the Trident Vitality gum. With that awesome song "Hello" by Martin Solveig.
With the catchy, fun song and smiling faces, cool packaging...it's persuading people to get pumped and try new things!
I'm a slight English Major so I'm using past input

That's a good one! But isn't that a commerical? I wish the project was to analyze a commerical ad instead of a printing ad.

Re: Need help with an English assignment

I decided to go with this print ad. I never heard of the company but I think the ad is pretty creative and I got tired of searching for the perfect ad lol

First I have to write the description, then a fictional flashback of how the idea was made, and then the final analysis of it.
