I have chosen an online ad for music therapy programs at Sant Joan de Deu Hospital in Barcelona, Spain sponsored by Fundacion Ilusiones.  I was drawn to this artifact by the powerful imagery and the message that music can cure.  As a musician and an aspiring doctor, this deeply connects with me.  The strong images used provide so much hope and meaning, and caught my eye enough that I couldn’t help but study it in more detail.  The ad is focused on a young girl that has lost all of her hair due to treatments to fight her illness.  She is smiling in spite of her trials, and is surrounded by blue and white watercolor that looks like the sky on a partially cloudy day.  There are music notes of different rhythms overlaid that look like hair billowing in the wind.  In the bottom corner it says “Music also cures.”  This ad is raising awareness that music therapy can aid in curing severe illness, which is directed towards the general public.  It was published in February of 2007 online in Spain.  The tone is positive, uplifting, and hopeful.  The commanding imagery of a child battling cancer is a tough reality to face, and most people share the value of protecting children from harm.  This ad really plays on emotion and pathos to bring across its message of music being therapeutic.
