Essay Instructions: The topic was to be an area of interest in regards to advertising. The topic chosen is outdoor advertising and regulations associated with this type of advertising, or even the exploration of the different types of outdoor advertising. The first things that came to my mind were billboard signs and hot air balloon advertising. The reason for this is we spend a lot of time on the road going to rodeos and see a lot of this type of advertising over the weekends. Do whatever needs to be done in order to narrow the topic enought to where it is a meaningful term paper. I would try to find at minimum five references and not all from one type of source.

Specifications: The paper should be a 15-20 page term paper, using Arial 12 pt font, double spaced for the body of the text and Arial 14 pt bold for the headings and sub-headings. The paper should include an abstract, references, and if appropriate, an appendix. APA Standards are to be used.
