What frustrations do these people experience because of this problem and limitations with current alternatives? List 2-4 frustrations AND cite/describe the SPECIFIC EVIDENCE you’ve provided to support the validity of your conclusions.

Starter Step #4 – WTF! (What’s the Frustration?)

Type brief (3-4 sentence) responses to the questions below and save this file as firstnamelastname–

Step4.docx. Be sure to include supporting evidence where requested – a considerable portion of your grade will be based on the quality of evidence you provide. Ideally, this assignment would be a continuation of the previous “Google it!” assignment, but you can consider a different problem if you prefer. The more empathy you have the easier it is to articulate “jobs to be done” and current frustrations people experience when using currently available alternatives. Thus, you might consider a problem that YOU find frustrating and personally meaningful so you can offer empathic insights that explain WTF!

 

  1. Briefly describe a problem that interests you (what is the situation that exists, when and where does it happen, how does it affect people? Feel free to describe the problem you explored in your “Google it!” assignment)

 

  1. Describe the types of people you believe are most affected by this problem (Customer persona – age, gender, income, roles, lifestyle, etc. You will be describing this in more detail in a future assignment, so you can be relatively broad here. Consider using 3-4 adjectives to narrow things down to a manageable description, such as “White, middle-aged, male, car enthusiasts”).

 

 Copy and paste an image that provides evidence that your assertion about people experiencing this problem is credible (screenshot of an article, a social media post, a chart, an ad from an alternative product targeting the people you mention, etc.). Briefly explain your interpretation of the evidence you provide (a couple sentences). NOTE – a picture of your intended customer is NOT evidence. Think like a researcher – find data and/or commentary from credible sources.

 

  1. How do you believe these people address this problem now? (What are their current alternatives?  Copy and paste an image that provides evidence that your assertion about alternatives people “hire” to do this “job” credible (screenshot of an article, a social media post, a chart, an ad from an alternative product targeting the people you mention, etc.). Briefly explain your interpretation of the evidence you provide (a couple sentences). NOTE – a picture of a competing offering is NOT evidence.

 

  1. What frustrations do these people experience because of this problem and limitations with current alternatives? (what are the SPECIFIC sources of failure, friction, and frustration these people experience in this situation, AND which are important enough to motivate people to search and pay for new solutions?). List 2-4 frustrations AND cite/describe the SPECIFIC EVIDENCE you’ve provided to support the validity of your conclusions. Make your case clear, compelling, and credible!

Conduct a formal evaluation of a video advertisement. Examine the ad’s rhetorical strategies and cultural appeals, and you are expected to use cited evidence from our course readings to support your discussion.

Evaluation of  video advertisement

For your second essay assignment, you will conduct a formal evaluation of a video advertisement. You will need to examine the ad’s rhetorical strategies and cultural appeals, and you are expected to use cited evidence from our course readings to support your discussion.

Your essay should be 4 to 6 pages in length and formatted to MLA specifications. In order to complete this assignment successfully, you will want to choose an ad that you find compelling, problematic, or loaded with interesting details. Remember, like any good text, nothing in an advertisement is there by accident, so look closely at the details and decipher their intentions. You will also want to use what you learned from Essay 1 and look closely at different signs and symbols and how consumers might relate to these items.

As mentioned above, you will need to examine a combination of rhetorical strategies and cultural appeals in your essay. Rhetorical strategies refers to how the advertisement presents its argument and/or content, and applicable talking points include logos, ethos, pathos, and kairos. Cultural appeals, on the other hand, include specific appeals to a target culture or demographic. You will need to identify and examine various signs within the advertisement and explain how they may be interpreted by (and appeal to) the ad’s intended audience.

You will need to cite/summarize specific details from your chosen advertisement throughout the essay. In addition, you are also expected to incorporate a minimum of two relevant readings from Signs of Life in the USA in your evaluation. Please note that it is not enough to simply cite a brief quote from these articles. Instead, I would like you to incorporate significant ideas that have a clear correlation to your chosen advertisement (in addition to direct quotations from the texts). You must also include proper in-text citations and a works cited page. Those looking to earn strong grades are encouraged to incorporate additional sources to help support your evaluation.
