Visual history of apple advertisements
Visual history of apple advertisements
In 1976, Apple
released its very first advertisement for the Apple 1. It resembled a flyer or
a magazine more than an advertisement. There was not much imagery and a lot of
writing. It appeared as though they were trying to fill up every square inch of
room because of the heavy use of text bolding. So much for the design principle
of using emptiness (Parkhurst,2017)
The Garden of Eden
was the name of another infamous advertisement that aired in 1979. I must
confess that when I first saw this advertisement, I laughed out loud. One of
Apple's worst advertisements ever has to be this one. (Parkhurst,2017)

It would be nice to have some critical thinking of why these advertising flyers did not work or why are not appeal to the customers. For example, the second one is not to clear what is the purpose or connection of this man with a apple computer.
