Please see detailed instructions attached. Please do not use any existing article or essay and write the analysis from scratch. My learning institution is very strict with AI content and plagiarism, and we use a paid subscription for detailed violation report.
Important Notes:
1) Please see assignment details and follow instructions strictly below. My learning center is very strict on AI-written content and plagiarism and paraphrasing. They are looking at a 99% written by human probability and any high indication that it is AI-written or low percentage of human writing would reject my essay and fail me, and probably ban me in their website. We use CopyLeaks to detect AI and plagiarism in details.
2) Please include in the first paragraph a strong thesis statement. In the draft I wrote, I used: “In this essay, I will perform an image analysis and examine why a well-executed print ad can have a powerful impact on consumer brand recall.” This thesis statement in the opening paragraph will be answered in the conclusion based on the content provided in each paragraph of the essay.
3) Please answer the following questions as well:
a) What is the significance of your essay? Why should readers care about what you have written? (2-3 sentences)
Note: Think about why you decided to analyze this particular image, or why you picked the word you chose to define. Your interest in in your subject matter should be clear to readers.
b) Which areas of your draft do you think will benefit most from revision? (2-3 sentences) Note: Consider the organization, style, focus, development, and conventions of your draft. Which areas did you struggle to complete?
c) Consider the strengths and weaknesses of your writing. How can you capitalize on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses in future essays? (3-4 sentences)
Note: Think about what was easy about writing the draft, and what was more difficult. For example, if you write paragraphs with strong topic sentences, but repeatedly use the same type of sentence to provide supporting details, you can improve your paragraphs by varying sentence structure.

Sample Image Analysis Essay: Prompt A (attached)
In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the Touchstone.
A. IMAGE ANALYSIS: Although we look at print advertisements every day, we often do not consider the ways in which they affect us. Visual images in ads can influence and persuade us, so it is important to evaluate them critically to understand their meanings. Good image analysis involves examination of the components of an image to gain an understanding of the whole.
Select an advertisement image to analyze. The advertisement you choose should be a single image directed towards a specific audience. To identify the intended audience, think about the members of the potential audience for the advertisement that you have chosen. Who are they? Ads for a beauty product, for example, may be aimed at young girls; ads for a deodorant might target men; a diaper ad is likely intended for new parents; ads for cruise trips might be aimed at retirees. You can use any academically-appropriate advertisement to complete this assignment, as long as its intended audience is clearly identified.
Your thesis must inform the reader of your topic and purpose. Because you are writing in the informative mode, use objective language and a neutral point of view.
