Choose an advertisement or a photo from a newspaper that you think has been altered. Scan it if you can. Write 2-3 paragraphs explaining what you think was done and why. Also include your opinion on the alteration.

Important: Because this is a Submit to Teacher exercise, you must send your work as an email attachment. Do not use the textbox on this page. To help your instructor, name your attachment with the level, unit, lesson and exercise numbers (for instance L8_u4_w3_ex2, which means Level 8, Unit 4, Writing 3, Exercise 2), then use this name in the subject line of your email.

                                                (Draft 1)

I chose an advertisement in the form of a photo which has definitely been altered.

It is easy to guess that this funny picture has been altered by Photoshop or computer simulation because:

-         A general situation which has been showed on the picture would not be possible in real life.

-         The background of the picture doesn’t look real.

-         Paints on the picture don’t look real as well.

In my opinion the alteration was done to attract attention more customers. The idea of posting some funny, cute, creative, and comical altered pictures there is a way of many companies to catch attention of potential customers.
I cannot say anything about quality of alteration, because I am not a professional, but this picture has attracted my attention by its size, funny and comical idea.
