Outline of Paper
The need for affiliation is a part of my ad because the skateboarder has all his friends in the same place cheering him on. All of his friends are sharing the same emotions that he is.
The need to achieve is one of the biggest parts of my ad because it shows a professional skateboarder using this board. That makes the reader feel that it must be a great board and they can become professional also by using it.
The need for attention is also a part of my ad because it shows the skateboarder being admired and respected by everyone else in the ad. Even though there are other things going on, the skateboarder is the biggest event happening.

Magazine Ad
My adverstisement is for Mystery Skateboards. It shows a pro skateboarder doing a trick on a Mystery Skateboard.
It shows the need for affiliation because around the skateboarder, theres many people who look like they are all friends having a good time. Also, it shows the need to achieve because the ad is showing that if you buy a Mystery board, you will become a good skateboarder and become popular. This also shows the need to dominate because only the person doing the trick can actually perform the trick. The need for prominence is also shown because the skateboarder is admired and respected by the crowd watching. My ad shows physiological needs by showing younger people drinking beer and playing beer games.
The magazine ad is directed towards the younger, middle class, white male. The skateboarder and most of the people in the ad fit the description. Out of 31 people, only 4 are females, and only 4 are not white. They all look to be in their early 20's.

Unit 1 Reflection
The first unit was hard because the whole first week we were in class, I had no internet. So from the start I was already behind. When we were first assigned the 3 page paper, I thought that i wasn't gonna be able to do it. 3 pages just sounded like a lot to write about one focal point. I realized when I was writing the paper that it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I enjoyed reading Dumpster Diving and I also enjoy blogging. I never blogged before so it was new to me. I thought unit 1 went pretty smooth, but it would have been a lot better if I had internet from the start.
