Intro

Advertising rules and regulations are set to standardize what is socially acceptable to the general public. Although these individual rules at times can seem unjust, at some point in time, people took advantage of a silent code of ethics when engaging the public, and made these rules and regulations completely necessary. My journal tackles some of the most controversial aspects regarding advertising to the public like sex, drugs, alcohol and tobacco while also leaving some space for product placement and advertising past vs. present. As a creative thinker, my journals focus on my opinion and interpretation of the laws from the ASC code and how it effects advertisements on a creative level. In short, many of my journals reflect on the lack of creativity due to overbearing strict laws by the Advertising Standards Council. In a world where we are taught to think outside of the box, creativity and imagination are extremely important and must never be forgotten.
