Ad Description:
The color ad chosen from People Magazine advertises Thai Airways Southeast Asia Silk Express, the "fastest service from New York to Bangkok." The headline reads, "Less time flying, More time exploring Asia." What catches the attention is the very strange, actually laughable, juxtaposition between the photograph of the ancient spires of what appears to be the Grand Palace on the left frame and an attractive Caucasian woman with her palms pressed together in Asian form and a gold headdress on the right. Whether or not the marketing department wanted this to appear straight or humorous, it draws the viewer. There is very little white space, with the photographs and copy covering most of the page. The signature THAI: Smooth as silk, runs at the end of the page.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The 30-year-old People magazine claims 9.8 readers for every issue printed. Circulation is over 3,600,000, and readership is 66% female and 34% male, with a median age of 40.8 years and a median household income of nearly $62,000. The woman and man pictured in the ad are in their late 20s, early 30s, which is in the age demographic. The woman, with her perfect makeup and oriental dress looks very fashionable.
AD EXECUTION:
The advertisement connects with the reader in both emotional and rational ways. The emotional is, as noted above, due to the response to the attractive Caucasian woman. Despite her bizarre look, she draws the reader with her calm appearance and alluring smile. Overall the ad is warm and inviting. All the gold in the spires and the woman's headdress also add to this positive feeling. The composition attracts one in as well.
At the same time, the advertisement is rational, since it is saying, "here is a way to save flying time for more exploring." Since the airline reports to offer the "fastest service from New York to Bangkok," travelers who…

" Despite the fact that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" social and economic norms and standards make a clear difference between women in particular when it comes to their tagging in the society. There is a clear cut idea that the attribute of "beautiful" or "attractive" is also synonymous to higher rates of productivity.

Aristoxenos, two centuries after Pythagoras released his model, sought to discredit the standing theories held by Pythagorean devotees. In his works, he established that numbers are not relevant to music, and that music is based on perception of what one hears, not any mathematical equation. Descartes as well as Vincenzo Galilei (Galileo's father) both also discredited the music-to-math theories that formed the revolutionary basis for Pythagoras' music work, but not
