Production:
-the company's name is Zostavax and it says "before you get shingles, ask about Zostavax
-there is one big picture that shows the skin with terrible rashes that show the seriousness of pain.
Audience:
-It is understood by the audience that by using the Zostavax vaccine can get rid of the serious rashes
-The intended target audience would be adults who are at age of 60 or more who is suffering of the rashes.
B)I think this advertisement is encouraging people to use their product by showing some serious effects of rashes. It is telling audience that if we don't get the product that could possibly happen to us. Also the advertisement states the possible side effects and allergics, which I think that the company wanted to show the honest part so that custmer could trust them more.

d)What agenda might the publisher have by producing this artifact? Defend your interpretation with specific reference to the artifact
-Publisher may had an agenda to make people aware the seriousness of rashes to old people, because people often don't take it serious as a problem. Many people may think it would go away after somewhile, but in the advertisement clearly states that rashes usually lasts up to 30days and can even last for years.

f)How does this artifact resonate with you? Does it offend? Does it make you buy in? Confirm your values? Cause you to question them? Defend your interpretation with specific reference to the artifact.
-The advertisement effectively tells the seriousness of rashes by showing the picture of a body that damaged by rashes. It doesn't offend but it makes me somehow worry by looking that picture, as it could also happen to me one day.I think it could be affective advertisement for young people who live with their old parents, because they will think their parents are the one with higher chance of getting rashes. On the other hand it cause me to question that if the product is really effective for curing rashes, as it doesn't really state much about the medical ingredient it used to produce the product. What is the difference between this product and other vaccine product that cures rash?
