The first key takeaway from this exam is my lack of specific terminology. My writing would have been more elevated had I pinpointed ideas such as “typography,” “composition” and “visual metaphor.” Also, while my analysis of the patriotic aspect of the advertisement was good, I certainly could have taken other aspects of the advertisement a further step. In hindsight, I could have mentioned something like this: “While the environmental-friendly stance Chevrolet intends to take is appealing, there is a paradoxical element to this alignment. A car manufacturer, one of the prime causes of pollution, positioning themselves as those who care for the environment could be seen as questionable by many.” Furthermore, I need to analyze more on the composition and the layout of the advertisement. Something like: “The car’s size, which appears smaller than the Earth, symbolically reinforces Chevrolet’s eco-friendly stance, intentionally placing Earth at a position of higher importance.” Nevertheless, it is great to have a clear idea of my areas for improvement, allowing me to take the next step in my writing in the right direction.
