statement of intent

 I want to make an eye catching and convincing ad for a new line of flavoured water for GCSE media print assignment. The main goal is to appeal to an audience that is active,  health-minded, and environmentally conscious while emphasising the product's advantages and refreshing flavour.  The commercial's main objective is to present the flavour-infused water as the ideal option for people who wish to stay hydrated without sacrificing flavour by promoting it as a low-calorie, healthful substitute for sugary drinks. To appeal to customers who value sustainable and clean components, the advertisement will also highlight the product's natural constituents, such as actual fruit extracts. I will accomplish this by communicating vigour and enthusiasm through bold lettering and vivid, fresh colours. With close-ups of the components, such as fresh fruit, water droplets, and ice, the pictures will highlight the many flavours of the water while evoking a feeling of crispness and fre...
