TV Commercials and Print Ads
Despite the fact that advertisers spend $ 44 billion on the major television networks and cable TV advertising, a new study show that consumers think print ads more entertaining and less offensive than television commercials. They study, conducted by Video Storyboard Tests in New York, showed that more consumers considered prints ads "artistic" and "enjoyable".
The 2, 000 consumers surveyed blasted TV ads compared to their print counterparts: 34 percent of respondents thought print ads were artistic, compared with 15 percent for television ads; 35 per cent thought print ads were enjoyable, compared to 13 percent for television; and, most surprising, 33 percent of consumers felt print ads were entertaining, compared to only 18 percent for TV ads. Much of the artistic impact and positive reaction to print ads comes from the illustrations used. The illustration is primary in creating the mood for a print ad, which ultimately affects consumers' feelings about the image of the brand.
While the study's sponsors were somewhat surprised by the survey results, some industry executives felt that print ads were finally getting the credit they deserve. Richard Kirshenbaum, chair and chief creative officer of Kirshenbaum, Bond & Partners, a New York advertising and public relations firm, is one such believer. In fact, Kirshenbaum says that when he looks to hire a person for a creative position in his agency, "I always look at the print book first because I think it is harder to come up with a great idea on a single piece of paper. "
But as impressed as computers say they are by the aesthetics (美学)and style. of print ads, televisions executives (as you might expect )dismiss the findings. One network official said, "Nothing will replace the reach and magnitude of an elaborately produced television spot. TV ads get talked about. Print ads don't. "

I was born in England, to English parents.When I was two years old my dad got a new job in Poland.Since then I have lived in four other countries around the world.Although I have a British passport,I sometimes don't feel very English at all!
One of the best things about moving around a lot when I was younger experiencing many diverse cultures and countries.I was able to try different foods, learn different languages, experience different traditions and meet people from different backgrounds.I am also lucky to have friends all over the world that I keep in regular contact with.
However, it wasn't always easy.It often felt like I had only just settled in to the new school city and culture before my parents told me we were moving again.Leaving my friends behind was damaging as a child.I have lost touch with many people I was very close to because one of us moved country.It was also very disorientating to have an English passport, but not feel very English at all.Because I had no access to English culture, returning home, often felt like visiting a foreign country.Happily, now I feel more at home in England—although the question, “where are you from?” still confuses me!
