Billy Collins wants us to realize that advertisement can grab the audience’s attention by assuming the audience’s need. The poem, Victoria’s Secret by Billy Collins, is about a man looking at the catalog, which have women that are wearing lingerie on the pages. In the second verse of the poem, he describes the model that looks at him over her bare shoulder and cannot hide the shadow of annoyance in her brow. He is receiving a feeling that the model is saying you have interrupted me…Now please leave me alone. The advertisement is grabbing the man’s attention by using the model’s facial expression, which lead to curiosity for the man. We know that the man is curious about the model’s facial expression because he analyzes the model’s facial expression.

The first appeal is shown by using logos to give the viewer’s a reason that they should buy Cover Girl products. Cover Girl claims that their products are for women of any and all skin types or ethnic backgrounds. The ad states, “fadeproof, waterproof, and ignore-proof”, which is used to describe the product that

The girl is trying to proof whether the ad is right (258). Then she goes thru the adventure by going to see the writers in a room like investigation room. She realized that it’s true. The first question from the writer, “What is your body like?” (259). She started to take off her clothes. This passage demonstrate that the writer is

Because the public doesn’t spend much time reading ads, it’s crucial to get the reader’s attention quickly, and what better way to do that than with body language and nonverbal cues? In an article entitled, “Reading Bodies,” written by Susan Bordo, she writes about and ad for Jockey as well as the models in the ad. She claims that “their poses directed the viewer’s attention to their crotches” (109). This further proves the advertiser’s motives. In Kinky’s ad, you see a woman on her knees in a pink, skin-tight, mini-skirt with one leg pointing upwards. Her upper torso is hidden by dresses that are hung on her closet door, so the main point of focus is on the lower half of

If you take notice of the clothing that the people in these advertisements are wearing than you will notice that their physical appearances are also contributing to the message that the advertisement is trying to convey. The images will make us look at ourselves and compare our physical appearances to theirs, which adds on to the guilt factor that the company is trying to make us feel. Everything that is going on in the image is adding on to the emotions that they want us to feel. The appearance of the people especially makes us feel that way. The writing on the image does that as well, it compares the cost of our luxuries and the cost of their necessities to live and puts It right there in front of our eyes.

This sunscreen is a fun alternative to spray and lotion sunscreen for kids. The foam will last 80 minutes and is water-resistant. Not only will this keep kids from getting burnt, but they will love to reapply it throughout the day.

Most advertisements involve some sort of emotional appeal: images of charming animals, humorous slogans, delicious food, attractive models. However, advertising’s goal—to convince the consumer to purchase a product or service—does not hold the same personal connection that a child’s persuasion of a parent holds. The lack of longevity and impersonal nature weakens its effect; therefore, emotional appeals are given higher legitimacy. Regardless, one may argue that certain aspects of advertising—like images of near-perfect humans—may detriment one’s thinking and expectations. However, this is not applicable to all, as the severity to which it affects one varies, and it does not directly relate to the legitimacy of emotional appeals, as the intents of most advertisements is not to nurture feelings of insecurity and

As I was aimlessly wandering through the patriotically decorated aisles, I came across the best aisle in the entire store--the beauty section. All of my favorite products graced the shelves begging me to spend all of my money on them. Hundreds of little yellow sunscreen bottles and tanning oils lined the shelves in uniform on sale for the upcoming weekend’s outdoor festivities. They would work, but not as promptly as I needed them to. I needed something that does not require

Through signifiers, it is easy to spot a gender discourse in the advertisement. The female and the dog are the most identifiable signifiers. Both main signifiers relate to one another. The dog supports the idea that the female is

The most conspicuous part of the advertisement is the image of the woman in front of a black background so that only her face is visible. This in itself is important because it is automatically making her face the focus of the advertisement and not her body. Unlike most advertisements in which a woman’s body is exploited to sell products to men, the UN Women advertisement draws attention to her eyes, therefore making her your equal, since you have to make eye contact with her instead of looking anywhere else on her body. She is completely expressionless, looking at the viewer with a blank stare, a totally blank slate onto which viewer’s reflect their own views. Even more important, the woman pictured is a Muslim woman, as displayed by her hijab. The hijab is widely seen in western society as a form of oppression by men, to make women subservient to them, and by juxtaposing an ad for equality with the

Amongst all of these advertisements, a natural link is developed between the visual representation and the product/idea being sold. In the first ad, a masculine link of control and success was created between the picture and job, targeted for both elder men and women. For man, their natural state of superiority would increase if he took this job. For the woman, her natural lower class state would move up to that of manís. The perfume ad, on the other hand, is attracting female customers only. The feminine feelings of happiness, peace, beauty and truth are linked through objects from nature, such as the sky and clouds; and these feelings are stereotypically viewed as feminine. The third ad selling a vacation trip is directed mainly toward college students. The presentation of freedom, adventure and relaxation grab studentsí attention, especially for those who really need to get away from school stress. The ad targets all sorts of students, those ìmasculineî ones who are seeking adventure and those

The advertisement that I have decided to describe and analyze is one from Armani Code, a cologne producing company. When I first glanced at the advertisement, there were a few things that jumped out to me. The first of those things was an attractive white female with a lot of skin showing kissing and hugging an attractive white male who is professionally dressed. The next thing that caught my eye was the fact that the male was staring off somewhere into the distance while this beautiful female was trying to kiss him. He is portraying himself as if he is disinterested in the female. The third and final thing that caught my eye before actual analysis of the advertisement was the fact that the picture is all black and white. The girl, with her skin showing, is mainly all white. The male in his suit is mainly all black, with the exception of his face and white undershirt. Additionally, the bottle the cologne is held in, which is placed in the bottom right hand corner, is all black as well, with the words Armani Code printed on the bottom of the bottle is small print. While the ad itself is quite simple in design, it’s the meaning behind the picture that provides the most power. The message behind this advertisement is if Armani Code cologne is worn by any man that so many girls will like that man wearing the cologne in a sexual way that the man will eventually become sick of the females and focus on other things. This particular ad targets males while chasing the

The best and most effective type of advertising is the one that appeals to emotions because it is the visual part of the ad that makes you react on instinct. In the advertisement that I chose, the Bonduelle Food Service company is a company that predominantly sells vegetables. Like any food company out there they want to capture your attention and they want you to choose their food because it is the best and you will not find their product elsewhere. By taking a look at their ad, I’m immediately drawn in by their choice to use vegetables as if they were performing a regular human task. The texture and colors used in the advertisement makes me consider that they have perhaps have the best, clean, and maybe even softest vegetables. This is one good example of

A) The four advertisements I chose are all women’s clothing. The first pattern I noticed in the advertisements was that all four of them showcased just one woman by herself and the second pattern was that each woman had quite a bit of skin showing. In each of them they were doing something slightly different though. In the Bottega Veneta advertisement the woman is posing with her arm up and looking off at something out of the shot and her legs seem to be never ending and completely revealed. In the Ann Taylor advertisement the model is Kate Hudson and she is sitting down on a chair with her legs crossed and is leaning a bit forward and resting her head on her arm. The slit of her dress goes up very high and reveals most of her legs and a slightly deep cut around her neck revealing part of her chest as well as all of her right arm. Also this advertisement is specifically for the new little black dress line. In the Express advertisement girl seems to be walking with her hand on her neck while simultaneously swirling the bottom of her dress around from walking. Her arm is uncovered and you see a good amount of her legs and the movement of the dress draws your eyes to that. In the Levi’s advertisement the woman is facing away from the camera so we see her from behind. She is pulling up her Levi’s shorts, which draws the eyes to her bottom half.

At first glance the advertisement seemed so simple and to the point, but the image has an emotional pull that people still cannot resist. We see a beautiful woman basking in the glow of the night’s sky. In the background we see the castle, which represents her
