1.0 BACKGROUND STATEMENT
The use of photograph for adverts, which is very important, is a means of communication or passing across message to the public about a particular product for the purpose of sales and promotion. Therefore, the researcher has chosen this topic to bring to light those roles or function photograph plays in advert cannot be overlooked by the advertisers. To make them see why they must imbibe by it and how to go about using photograph in advertising their product. Some advertisers preferred using text only without illustration either photographs or hand made, forgetting that a picture is worth a thousand words, as the Chinese philosopher says. For this purpose, the researcher treats the effective ways of using photograph. As earlier mentioned, the advert predominantly has the written information which is the message and it has ‘shown” information this is the picture content. Picture is very important in very advert because they aid credibility and other aesthetic value to the advert and most importantly to the text message.
