Advertisement Is A Powerful Thing On Our Life

In “The Fashion Industry: Free to be an Individual” by Hannah Berry, Hannah emphasizes how social media especially advertisements pressure females to use certain product to in order to be considered beautiful. She also acknowledges the current effort of advertisement today to more realistically depicts of women. In addition, these advertisements use the modern women look to advertise products to increase women self-esteem and to encourage women to be comfortable with one’s image.

Advertisements have become a huge part of society in the modernized world of today. Around the world, many people can see all of the various advertisements not only on TVs and newspapers but also on billboards, buses, and walls of buildings. Advertising is an influential part of life and we can easily realize that it has useful purposes for public and private manufacturers and companies throughout the world. Advertisements can either give consumers a great amount of knowledge about the products or just convince them to buy and want the products. Advertisements also help sell the products which keep the economy growing, but people should also be aware of how much they spend because they may not actually need every product that they see that they want to purchase. In the Daisy by Marc Jacobs’s perfume advertisement, the artist uses many different techniques to emphasize the advertisement. Some of the different techniques that the artist uses are color, symbolism, and composition.

Every day, companies present the people with advertisements everywhere they go. Advertisements have become very prevalent in today’s society nowadays focusing in on a negative connotation. Advertisement has become an effective way for producers to display their new products. In present day, they come in forms of billboards, flyers, e-mails, and even text messages. It is widely known that companies create advertisements to persuade people to buy specific products or goods; however, it is not widely known that advertisements can make a negative impact on today’s society. The companies manipulate people’s mind and emotions, swaying people by new promotions and therefore generating a strong desire to fit into the society, that causes them to make inessential expenditures. Advertisements pose a critical impact on the American culture.

When initially looking at Vogue, one would simply see beautiful women and lots of expensive products. However, referring to Fowles’s article, the advertisements in the magazine display appeals directed at women so they will be drawn into a

to represent that, that I felt like a doll for so long.” Said Cara Delevingne, supermodel.

In an advert for a female perfume by “Givenchy” a woman is shown who holds the materialistic characteristics. This is not how it really is in society. Not every woman has prominent curves, is slim and tall. This shows how advertisements do not fairly reflect society.

According to Miya Yamanouchi, the author of Embrace Your Sexual Self, “Both men and women experience pressure to conform to social standards of attractiveness. Men to look strong and be tough, women to look pretty and soft.” Stereotypes affect every gender in the society because people have a prejudice on themselves and others. In “Men’s Men and Women’s Women,” written by Steve Craig, addresses the expectations that the society places on men and women. For instance, men must be masculine and wealthy and women must have a perfect body shape with beautiful facial features to be considered as attractive. Nowadays, the advertisements are taking advantage of such a social norm to lure consumers to purchase their goods. The advertisements for Gucci’s perfume and Calvin Klein’s cologne are especially good examples to demonstrate such pressure and reflect the consumers’ psychological behavior. The advertisements highlight gender stereotypes through utilizing the impression of opposite sex and incorporate an underlying sense of sexism through the designs of the backgrounds, the purpose of wearing fragrances and the reinforcements on Women’s Men and Men’s Men; these advertisements contribute to the consumers’ perception of their physical appearance by delivering a fraudulent image of perfection through their models.

I think the advertisers have smartly incorporated her face in the advertisement. Her facial expression is trying to attract the female generation to notice her lips. The colours have been specifically chosen. The model has brown hair and this has been used as a background for the image of the product. Everything has been kept natural like her skin colour and the background. Having everything on the page quite natural makes the lips stand out more because they are darker than the rest of the skin and have a reddish colour. The use of light colors, very large text and a very close up picture of the model to show how the different shades of lipstick will bring out a person’s eye. This makes them the first thing you notice on the page.

As time progresses, many companies change the style in which they portray their advertisement. In the two Chanel advertisements, one being from 1937 and the other being from 2007, many comparisons and contrasts can be distinguished. Both ads are similar in their look and target audience, while they also have different styles to them. The vintage ad is a more dark and gloomy ad, while the modern ad is a more light and bright advertisement. The target audience of both advertisements is women who want a perfume to make them feel beautiful, and the purpose of both ads is to persuade consumers of why Chanel is the best perfume to purchase. However, the techniques of both advertisements are very different.

Advertisement is a part of our everyday life. Advertisement is everywhere we go. We see it on television, in magazines, in newspapers, and whenever we decide to surf the internet. Advertising companies spend millions of dollars a year trying to get people to purchase their products. One of the most common advertisements that audiences see is cosmetics. Here in America, beauty and having a youthful appearance are some things that are valued. As many women age, they look for products to help them maintain a youthful appearance. So, when women see a Philosophy’s Renewed Hope in a Jar Moisturizer advertisement, they will want to purchase it and other products that just like it. Women will spend lots of money in order to maintain a youthful appearance. The advertisement uses analytical devices such as content, font, and color to heighten the desire to buy

Uniqueness and openness give people an identity, a sense of who one is. Women have always been victims of repression because men comfort themselves with the thought that women need looking after. Today, female oppression still exists, and is worse than ever, mostly because females have grown unaware of it - repression has grown as part of the women identity and is shaping the female gender in ways individuals can’t differentiate. The destruction of the female character has been silently shaped by men’s desires and the diminishing view of the female character.

The color arrangement design and graphic emphasis of the advertisement supplement the structure of the excessively sexual female purpose in society. When taking a first look, the ad is quite spectacular. It is flamboyant and easily visible while flipping through the magazine. The ad uses lively colors to emphasize the two themes and really focus on their faces. The colors have a variety of bright greens and orange-reds to modest blues and browns towards the low parts of the ad. These colors are used to get the magazine reader’s attention and help them see the clothing. The background is a bright orange drape that makes people look to the people at the center of the page. They appear to be entirely undistracted by the world that surrounds

Advertising is an undeniable aspect that permeates contemporary society. In which, essentially all advertisements are sending through subliminal messages to promote their companies items. There are certain methods that reveal these deeper meanings, and in order to underpin these processes, advertisement deconstruction takes place. This highlights the subtexts that are in play, which exhibits the power of advertising. The advertisement that is the focal point of this analytical deconstruction involves high-class vehicle company, Lexus, attempting to sell their product. This requires the extraction of the images or body copy which are identifiable within the advertisement. These signifiers, which all work as a collaborative unit, reveal the denotations, connotations as well as the discourses and ideologies that have been formed. Not only does this demonstrate the dismantling of the text, it also uncovers the raw meaning of the advertisement, unclothing what consumers fail to see with the naked eye.

The prevalence of advertising in modern, consumer driven, societies is strong and growing more all the time, with television, radio, the Internet, newspapers and magazines the most ubiquitous platforms. With advertising companies increasingly looking for new media and platforms on which to advertise: roller coasters such as the "Pepsi Max T Big One" and the "Playstation" at Blackpool's Pleasure Beach, and aspects of every commercialized sport currently played, from football jerseys right down to the helmets of motorcycle riders, this begs an important question: do advertisements merely influence consumers choice of the brand of product they will buy, or do they fundamentally influence

Advertisement has become an essential part of our social life: it tells us what to buy and what to reject, how to look and what to wear in order to remain in the center of attention. Underestimating the power of advertisement is illogical and selfish, it does have an immense influence on our consciousness and subconsciousness. It is impossible to deny that we live in the era of consumerism: we earn money to buy things that define our personality. When the creators of Apple understood it they stared to sell emotions along with goods and shaped their loyal customer. For modern society a person becomes what he buys: an expensive car and an elegant suit will be praised as much as aristocratic origin or even more in today`s world. Advertising
