Advertising

Advertising is a communication tool used by many businesses (non-profit or for-profit organizations) to inform consumers about products or services . Good advertisement needs to attract consumer attention and create a desire in them to take the intended action (make a purchase or use a service). It is, therefore, important for the images portrayed in advertisements and in the media to reflect a desired condition; this does not mean that the images have to represent reality.
