Advertisement Analysis : Advertising Visual Analysis

This advertisement found on Google, is a simply zoomed-up hand is different than any normal hand due to its colossal, bulky, green, and appears to be a Marvel Universe’ popular character; the Hulk. The fictional superhero, the Hulk, is known for its aggressiveness and strong outrageous powers. Many kids, especially young boys, are inspired by such a figure for being so mighty. Enabling such a strong and mighty superhero to have a scant band-aid on is figuratively speaking that it is favorable to ask for help, even in minor situations! Some kids may have the problem with pride and do not want to submit to band-aid protection. Revealing this kind of vulnerability and keeping up with the green appearance of the advertisement makes the ad truly effective. Eye may not realize how color scheme is so important and effective to a worthy advertisement and how green signifies strength, safety, and healing powers(The Color Green 1). Therefore this ad is an effective ad for kids and its

What does an ad say about a society? When viewing a product advertisement, many people never stop to think why the ad and product appeals to them. However, when a more critical look is taken, it’s easy to see precisely how ads are carefully tailored to appeal to trending values of a targeted demographic, and how that makes it easy to examine the society of those whom the ad is targeted at. In the analytic writing Advertisements R Us, Melissa Rubin provides an excellent example of this, as she crafts a logical and clear analysis of a 1950’s Coca-Cola magazine ad which thoroughly explains how advertisements can reveal quite a great deal about the society in which they were created.

What seems to be the most attentive layout of the ad is the rock star side of the man in the image. The rock star has long black hair, black makeup around his eyes, no shirt, lipstick kiss prints all over his body, stud necklace and bracelets, as well as a huge fictional guitar with three necks on it. One of the necks is a normal six string guitar, the second is a twelve string guitar, and the most unbelievable of the three is a saxophone. Hanging on one of the necks of the guitar is a girl’s bra. This part of the advertisement is the most important to the value and attraction of the ad. Since the ad is in a pop/rock culture magazine, this would be an obvious attention getter that would stop many of the readers of this magazine.

Throughout everyone’s lives either children and adults, brushing teeth is nessecary to maintain fine-white looking teeth. Yet many people who constantly brush when needed still fall short in achieving white, shiny, teeth even though they brush after every meal. This is due to stains from wines, acidic foods, or the coming of old age. Either one of these reasons could be responsible for why your white-shinny teeth become yellow. Imagine having a fine dinner with your special someone, only to smile and have them see your ugly, disgusting, yellow colored teeth. With 3D White Strips made by Crest, say goodbye to those ugly teeth and say hello to shiny, sparkly, white teeth. When people ask other people “How did you get your teeth so white?” Most

In this essay, I will be analysing the 2008, £15 million Hovis TV advertisement. Filmed in Liverpool with a cast of over 750 extras, director Ringan Ledwidge portrays a young boy (13 year old Brian Mackie) buying a loaf of bread in 1886, which was when the first Hovis loaf of bread was sold, and then travelling with the bread tucked under him arm, through 12 decades in British History. The concept behind the advert is to show that Hovis has been around for 122 years and is a British Institution. For this reason, the advert lasts 122 seconds; each second depicting each year. The product is shown to be just as good, hence the slogan “As good today as it’s always been”.

(TS) The advertisement for Bose Headphones displaying the man and the waterfall uses humor and dramatic irony to make readers remember the ad and the headphones they are selling. (C1) Humor is portrayed in this ad in a number of different ways. (E1) This ad uses humor because the man rowing the boat is about to fall to his death down a waterfall and doesn’t even realize it. The fact that the man is so oblivious and the exaggeration of the power of the headphones is what brings up humor in the ad. (R1) The humor in this unrealistic advertisement quickly draws readers attention to make you remember it. The picture stands out and is different from other ads because of the way it uses humor, so the audience is sure to remember

Advertisements are all over the place, whether they are on T.V, or in a magazine, there is no way to escape them. They all have their target audience who they specifically designed the ad for, and of course they are selling their product to. This is a multi-billion dollar industry and the advertisers study any and every way that they can attract the consumer’s attention. Anytime a products advertising tagline becomes incorporated into a popular culture, a pinnacle of success has been reached. The “Got Milk?” tagline has been integrated in messages across the country such as churches, “Got God?” cheerleaders, “Got Spirit?” and even universities, “Got Whoop?”. The “Got Milk?” ads have

In the Hunter/Gatherer section of Omnivore’s Dilemma, Pollan talks about what it takes to accomplish the task of developing a meal on his own; consequently, the people of today’s society are so used to the abundance of food that they have no idea what all is involved in establishing a full meal. Americans take this great abundance of food for granted, which causes an increased craving for more. This is where the world of advertisement has been the strongest. One of the easiest ways to reach people is through their food; therefore, major food industries try to lure people in at all costs just to buy their products. The Fast food industry is the

I will be analyzing two advertisements, stating how effective they are likely to be in achieving their purpose and in selling a renter’s paradise. In my analysis I will include a list of persuasive techniques used in these advertisements. Undoubtedly, the purpose of an advertisement is a strong appeal to the readers. The purpose of the first advertisement; The Grove, apartments is to persuade the audience to experience the pleasurable and joys of living. It strongly reinforces the views through the content of the text and captures the interest of the audiences through multiple eye-catching pictures. When the reader first looks at the advertisement, it makes him or her feel how entertained and amusing this place can be in spite of the all

When one looks at an image from Calvin Klein, Victoria's Secret, or Versace, the first appeal comes from beautiful models. These individuals are normally jumping, laughing and representing every idealistic way of life by manifesting the idea of a blind promise. Unfortunately, these images are not only created with the intent of being manipulative, but also to resemble the present history involving societal roles. At the moment, Ads are able to capture the political ideologies or the social influences in order to represent the position of modern times. On the other hand, the Versace brand recently released a new campaign on Fall clothes bringing to light a different topic. At a quick glance, the Versace Advertisement depicts the everyday family of four. However, through John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, the picture represents the hegemonic portrayal of male dominance, the suppressive forces of society on women, and the influence publicity has on the surveyed. Through this lens, one can understand the social relations and expectations publicity creates for individuals.

Smoking tobacco has been a part of American culture since its very conception. Throughout our history, tobacco has been advertised as a simple pleasure for those who seek it out. Whether you are sitting on the porch with a couple of friends or in a dimly lit jazz club, tobacco ads give off a false sense of comfort, power, and success. Until around the mid-1900’s, smoking cigarettes was not considered unhealthy. It was only later that the public realize the detrimental health consequences that came with smoking tobacco. To spread this information, specific advertisements were aired to help inform the public of the dangers of smoking. While these ads have changed over time, the same message and warning still remains evident.

The Diet Pepsi print advertisement “Forever Young” is quite creative and thought provoking. The print advertisement shows the front of a businessman’s body, from his nose down to his midsection. This most likely belongs in a magazine, in a place such as a doctor’s office or barbershop, or whatever any day place that the average person would visit. He holds a “Diet Pepsi” cup in the center of the advertisement, with the intention of immediately bringing the cup attention to the reader. He blows bubbles through a straw into the beverage, overflowing the cup and making quite a mess. It is a serious, black and gray formal background. This is meant to be ironic, because a businessman does not typically partake in childish behaviors like in the picture, in such a serious, adult-like atmosphere. The main message this is trying to convey is non-conformity, through its ironic picture of a relatable businessman, and its “Forever Young” caption on the bottom right. “Forever Young” could also suggest that drinking Diet Pepsi can make one feel young and like a kid again and how humans have a basic necessity for having fun, which can be explained by blowing the bubbles in the drink.
