1) What key conventions of an advert can you find and what are the connotations of each one?     
     Key image - To help sell the image  and increase the understanding of the product.
     Brand, logo and name - So that it can quickly be recognised in store or online e.g. The Nike logo on the                                               advert.  
     Slogan-  ' just do it ' this is an imperative as it is telling the audience to do something.
     Text (anchorage) - the paragraph in the middle gives a little background history.              
        


2) For each convention, write about how this appeals to a target audience. 
Key image - it looks colourful and stylish.
Slogan - It appeals as the slogan is telling you to do something and makes you feel powerful.
text (anchorage) - It appeals as it tells the viewers how good and how the product is. 
logo - Its sharp and shows the shows will probably make you run faster because it looks like a lightning bolt.

3) What is the USP (unique selling point) of the product and how do you know?
 The logo because no other uses or can use the Nike tick because it would be copyright.
