Mastercard Priceless advertisement (1997)
this advertisement is not a tourism advertisement but i liked that the advertisement listed the prices and showed that the memories were priceless, this give me an idea that we can use the listing of prices to to target our target audience. since our target audience is teenagers traveling on a budget, we can list the prices that are affordable to them while also adding that the memories will be priceless, therefore this can attract and be engaging to them.
we also tried to use different fonts for our slogan / message at the end of the video
my team used canva to try different fonts that can be suitable to use for the message of our tourism advert which was "Stop Dreaming, Visit Bali !", there were other messages such as "Stop Dreaming and Visit Bali", "Bali: Priceless Memories" which we didnt end up choosing. at first we wanted to use a calligraphy font but we then agreed that it can be difficult to read in just a few seconds. so we ended up choosing this font:
we ended up combining two fonts for its balance between a playful, youthful vibe and a sense of elegance. the top font has a "handwritten" feel, evoking a casual and personal tone that resonates with the target audience of students. it is fun, approachable, and 2 out of 4 group members felt it aligned with the goal of creating a friendly, relatable ad. the bottom font conveys sophistication and professionalism, complementing Bali's cultural and natural beauty. together, the fonts create a contrast that balances playful energy with elegance, making the ad visually engaging and reinforcing the dual message of fun, affordable experiences with a unique touch.
reflection: by conducting researches, i have learned many factors that can help make a good tourism advert, it also makes it easier for me to identify the genre conventions to different types of tourism adverts and how the conform or subvert to them. it also helps me identify the targeted audience by how the tourism advert shows different images and people to represent them.
