, INTRODUCTION
The focus of this assignment will be a content analysis of eight different
creative concepts and their characteristics that will be found in eight
advertisements from two separate publications. The publications identified
for the advertisements are April/May 2021 True Love magazine and May
2021 Woman & Home magazine. According to Du Plooy (2009:213) content
analysis is a methodology applied to explore, describe and infer
characteristics of messages. The content analysed will range from pictures
and graphics used, slogans, text applied, including headlines used in the
advertisements.
1. MAIN ISSUE
A quantitative and qualitative, cross-sectional study which aims to explore
and describe different creative concepts and their characteristics applied in
eight different selected advertisements in two different publications –
April/May 2021 True Love magazine and May 2021 Woman & Home
magazine by means of a content analysis.
2. RESEARCH CRITERIA
2.1 Relevance
The topic of creative concepts in adverts is relevant to communication
because advertising is an important subject in communication studies and
the major source of income for most publications. Advertisers know that
clients have diverse needs, and they are forced to communicate their
persuasive messages in imaginative ways (Du Plooy 2009:263). The
content analysis will explore and describe different creative concepts
used in advertisements and their characteristics.
