Advertising

Three places where I spend most of my time is my room, UMD campus, and my work.  There are many different logos that are around me when I am at these places.  Advertising is everywhere.  It appears where ever you go, and is becoming very important in the world.

The main logos that are located in my room are sports logos.  There is the Detroit Pistons logo, the Detroit Tigers logo, the Detroit Lions logo, and the Detroit Red Wings logo.  The other logos that are located in my room are Nike, Reebox, Adidas, and Converse.  I have these logos located on my shoes and on other sports equipment.  Another logo that is located in my room is the Macintosh Apple, which is on my laptop I am typing on right now.

At UMD, there is advertising everywhere.  UMD has posters on walls, logos on shirts, and even logos in textbooks.  I see a lot of logos for Macintosh, PC, Michigan, Michigan State, and other colleges.  What is also very popular at UMD is the advertising logos for clothes brands.  The brands I am talking about is Hollister, American Eagle, and Abercrombie to name a few.  I also see different logos for bands.  Advertising has a lot to do with music, and people show it off through logos on hats, shirts, and pants.

At work, there is advertising but not as much as there was in my previous two examples.  Most of the advertising I see at work is for my work.  I work in the IMSE office at UMD.  We have posters everywhere that talk about engineering and why people should choose this for their major.  Other logos I see are for Bic, Staples, Sticky Notes, and Elmers.  

Advertising is so wide spread in the world that it is everywhere you look.  It is so important for businesses to get their product known.  Technology is so advanced now and the way for people to find out about new products is through advertising either on the internet or on the T.V.  There is also a lot of advertising still in newspapers and magazines.  I can't even imagine what the world would be like without advertising.  Would there actually be blank billboards and blank buses?  I know that sounds weird, but would there even be billboards then?  Advertising goes from school, work, gym, car, rooms, and even public bathrooms.  Advertising is very important in the world today, and it is a very smart idea.  Advertising adds up to over $200 billion dollars spent each year which equals $700 dollars a person.  There will never be a time where advertising is not present in the world.
