Korea Highway Corporation Ad


 
Highway Ad

This is a full page newspaper ad for the Korea Highway Corporation. This government corporation is responsible for the major expressways in Korea. This ad seems to have a nice design, but let's look a little closer at the text.

This text from the ad is a bit odd. First of all there is the cultural aspect of this. Does this seem like a worthwhile goal for this woman's life? Then we get into the language aspect of this.

Interestingly enough, the web site this ad promotes has a fairly complete English section and it is quite well done. Seems like they should have used the same resources to do the ad.
