3D TV on its way

Primary activity

Internet advert

Samsung has asked you to create an advert that could be used on its internet site to promote its new range of televisions.

Work in pairs to come up with a bank of persuasive words you could use to describe the televisions - what images will you use?

Come up with a slogan for your advert - it will need to be short, punchy and something that will stick in people's minds!

Use a programme like Publisher to create your advert - think about what colours and fonts you will use to help it stand out.

Share your advert with another pair and take some feedback - would your advert persuade you to spend thousands of pounds on a 3d television?

Send your views about the story to Have your say or longer reports and podcasts to Be a reporter and we will put the best on the site.
