Conclusion

Creativity is the sum of everything in life’s existence. We drink water because someone, somewhere thought, “Hey, if I put this in my mouth and take a gulp, I’ll stay alive.” Imagination is one of my best qualities and one of the most important aspects of my life. It is with a creative mind, that all six journals were written. My basic opinion is that regulations for tobacco, alcohol and ASC Code, ruin creativity. There are still many creative ads that DO abide by all regulations however, many creative out of the box ads are banned each year, and it tends to be these ads that catch our attention most. Sex sells, sex catches your attention, but sexual ads are really hard to execute without 'demeaning' women (women demean themselves most of the time if you ask me). Then there's alcohol ads which can in NO way show people REALLY having fun with their alcohol, drug ads that have to bore people with the side effects, random ads that become overly sexual and get banned, and poor tobacco companies who have pretty much been cut out of the advertising loop in Canada altogether. Stepping away from regulations, product placement is equally as important to my creative mind as the former. When a television show can effectively place a product without red flags popping up, my brain exhausts a sigh of relief. Despite huge rises in technologies, advertisers have LESS to work with now ad all the rules and regulations put a halt to some of the most creative ideas.  Unfortunately, without regulations, many people would surely take advantage of a limitless advertising network and push boundaries too far, thus adding to a rise in complains by offended citizens. Freedom creates endless possibilities, sadly enough, we need these regulations in place.
