For this project I did a spoof advertisement on Trix cereal.
The original Trix cereal box says that Trix is a good source of whole grain and
calcium. The box makes it appear like it is a healthy breakfast option but Trix
is made of a lot of sugar and it’s really not very healthy. I wanted to spoof off of the idea that the
trix rabbit never gets to eat the Trixs cereal. I wanted to show that if the
rabbit did get a change to eat the Trix he would gain weight and not be very
healthy. With my spoof advertisement I
changed the slogan from Trix are for kids to Trix are for fat kids. I changed
that product name from Trix to Nix. I put my advertisement in the Food Network
Magazine because it is about food and could have an article about healthy
breakfast choices next to it. I also am going to include my advertisement on a
bus stop so that a lot of people can see it.

Henshaw | Final Spoof Adverts



This series is a spoof on the “Got Milk” campaign. The original advertisements include an image of a famous individual accompanied by copy about milk that correlates with their claim to fame. With my spoof ads, I maintained the same format as the originals and replaced the normal milk mustaches with frivolous objects such as a candy cane, cinnamon stick, and a piece of pasta. Additionally, the copy that I have included in my pieces include exaggerated information to help further the effectiveness of this series. I have chosen to include my advertisements in Allure because this women’s magazine often includes articles on health so an advertisement on this subject would be appropriate. Further, my advertisements can be seen in large format at bus stops as well as on billboards to expand the demographic that would view this campaign.
