  2. Good analysis Sarah. I took a somewhat different approach to your data. I think that this Pepsi ad is encouraging that eating disorders are ok, as long as you do them alongside with Pepsi. It will still give you a refreshed "full" feeling without actually filling. The lady in the ad is obviously way too skinny and abnormally structured. The food in the corner are light options that have no health benefits and could be seen as things to be easily thrown up. Great analysis and just try to make a bigger connection!

  3. This is very good and you analyzed in very well. It looks more like a woman's dominance ad which you clearly stated in other words. She's a very beautiful, young woman which tells you Pepsi wont affect your appearance which you also state. I like it and you are on a good track in my opinion. Maybe go a little deeper and explain why some viewers may see it the way you see it.

  4. You seemed to do a very good job on analyzing the ad. The ad seems to say that drinking Pepsi wont affect how you look and you did a good job of saying. I do like what you did with it overall.

  5. You elaborated a ton on here and there isn't much else I could find to say on your ad or table. Really good
