Reebok Pump Synthesis Essay

Ogilvy also used visual to get his point across. When he said, “Think Small” (Ogilvy, 13), it would make sense if he uses a image that is accordance to his words. Through logic, he also explained why the advertisement should be laid out in a certain way, stating, “Advertising reflects the mores of society, but does not influence them” (Ogilvy, 26). In other words, the advertisements will be continued to show to the society until the public buys it. It is also logical that they advertise the products with regards to their consumer bracket, such as using masculine men to advertise cigarettes, instead of using women.

Skey says, “They clearly have a strong and emotional brand for young people.” Her quote benefits the idea of the use of emotional connections with their audience in the advertisements Nike uses. Leonard states in the Shoes, Diplomas, And The American Dream article that “Nike does have a message to market. The company is selling high-school and college athletes the prospect of not just a career but a future.” It is also stated in the article that people are “Willing to invest – to bet on – the future because of the seductive allure of the American dream” (Leonard). The products Nike sells can assist in the success of an athlete due to the use of the product. If a runner was to use crappy shoes, they may lack in their abilities due to the poor quality of the shoes. Another point is that if one is successful with a Nike product, they would stay with that product or upgrade when a better quality of the product by the same company, Nike, comes out. When success is found within one company, a customer is more likely to stay within the company product

The advertisement overall is effective to attract the male gender. It is very common that since men are very competitive and confident, Nike would create this ad to praise men. Although, the ad is also being effective to the individual who is not fit but wants to participate in the competition which this includes running using Nike shoes. Therefore, the ad is excellent at using pathos, and logical appeal in order to persuade its purpose.

Advertising plays a huge role in why people buy what they buy. This paper will discuss the different techniques used by brands in order to appeal to the intended group they are targeting. Some brands try to appeal to the most amount of people possible. However, some brands have a specific niche of people they try to appeal to. McDonalds is an example of a brand that tries to appeal to everyone. It has a general message that everyone can get behind, and they market it correctly. This is why they are one of the biggest brands in existence. However, Gymshark is a brand that tries to appeal to a specific niche of people. Their goal is to be the next Nike. They try to appeal to athletic people, who workout very often. Their products are similar to Nike, but they are specifically

In the ad we see the use of one of the three rhetorical appeals. Ethos or credibility is seen through the black colored words “OUR”, “INGREDIENTS”, “ARE”, and

Nike and Under Armour are two of the biggest brands in the active wear industry. Fitness goers of all ages and genders are passionate users of their sports gear and athletic clothes. Two print advertisements from Under Armour and Nike will be analyzed based on the way they use goals to captivate the viewers attention and elicit an emotion to persuade the viewer to buy their athletic wear. In a world that is quickly becoming aware of its health problems consumers are becoming more aware of fitness brands and their advertisements. People are taking an active stand in achieving their fitness aspirations and doing so with the best equipment available. Nike’s famous “Just do it” slogan has been a boost for the company’s reputation and notoriety, by setting it a part from other brands. The two advertisements from Nike and Under Armour are representations of current consumer ambitions towards fitness.

In “Hoopstars 2” Jackie Willis is the backup point guard on Angel Park Lakers even though she is better than the starting point guard Tommy Ramirez. Coach Donaldson keeps Tommy at point guard even though he keeps messing up and Jackie plays better. Jackie and her parents get mad and they think it is because Jackie is a girl. Jackie continues to be backup point guard until she challenges Tommy to a battle for the starting point guard. The coach allows it and Jackie won the battle and Tommy already knew she was better.

People see thousands of ads each year. It may seem like the company who designed and create this ad just put whatever looked best and would draw the viewer's attention but the use of word and images on ads go much deeper. For example this ad was found while shopping for shoes online. This ad shows a persons holding a cigarette, this persons hand is shaped as a gun but what the ad wants to readers attention to go to would be not the hand in the front but the shadow in the back, the shadow is a hand but instead of holding a cigarette, the hand is holding a gun. This shadow is meant to represent the reality of what a cigarette can do for a person's health.

Throughout the essay hyperboles are used for exaggeration to make fun of how consumers pull in their customers. One of the inventors of the shoe insert calls the insert a, "a total foot rejuvenation system." The exaggeration put on the insert clearly shows how the author is ridiculing advertisers for their fake propaganda. The statements in the essay confirm that consumers

This ads use of the startling image in contrast to the small words proves highly effective to the reader in swaying their opinion on the issues of war. By using the color scheme they also prove able to get people on there side on a comfort level too. So the startling but yet subtle nature of this ad turned out to be highly effective in making people think more about difficult topics and also convince them to do something about the

In today’s time we come across a vast amount of advertising using various forms such as outdoor billboards, print advertisements, TV commercials and online advertisements. Advertising is a very common means of getting customers to see one’s message, brand and product. However, it is apparent that advertising is intentionally deceptive in the sense that it tries to prey on one’s weaknesses as a human being. For example, beer commercials constantly use sex appeal with attractive women to charm men and perfume commercials use the idea that their product will bring women the love that they have so long desired. Likewise in the Nike advertisement featuring Serena Williams, the advertisers use vivid visual elements to convey the idea that Nike products will make the consumer popular, athletic, beautiful, skilled, talented, hardworking and ultimately successful. This definition of Nike is achieved through the use of the famous athlete, the words of the ad, her facial expression, her stance and the background scenery.

In today’s society, advertisements have more of the magazine display advertisement filled up with the main image. In this Lucozade sport advertisement the company has the product being advertised and also advertising one of the players that Lucozade sponsors (Gareth Bale). The first signifier clearly shows that if one drinks Lucozades new sport drink, that not only will it make one’s performance better, but also make, feel and look like Gareth Bale. The celebrity is made to be the largest image in this advertisement. This is done effectively to catch the attention of the target audience, which is expanded due to the popularity of Bale in the footballing community, this enforces the very strong sporting discourse within the ad. The Male connotes

When analysing all of the advertising around us, sometimes we don’t look at what the true message of a commercial really is. We live in a world that is controlled by mass media and because of this advertisers are trying harder each year to outdo themselves and their competitors. Rhetors use techniques in their advertisements such as fantasies or surrealism to catch the attention of their audience. Companies like Audi pour millions of dollars into their marketing teams to make sure their cars look the best and attract consumers. Commercials that are shown on television today are great examples of rhetorical artifacts because of the many techniques being exercised by the rhetor. Analyzing this through the lens of rhetorical

In his essay The Rhetoric of The Image, Roland Barthes explores the relationship between image and meaning. He centres his discussion around the advertisement as advertising is a medium in which there is an intended message being sent to the viewer. Barthes puts forward that if an image contains signs, in advertising the signs are ‘full’, as these signs are formed with the viewer in mind so that the intended message is not missed.

Visual culture is the use of images, media, and other visual modes to represent the events and ideas of the world (Mirzoeff, 1999). The visual modes can range from an oil painting, to media on the internet, advertisements or TV. Visual culture has an influence on the consumer who is exposed to it. In this essay, I am looking specifically at how visual culture is used in advertisements, and how large brands, such as Coca Cola and McDonalds, use visual culture throughout their advertisements. Visual culture is often used to benefit a business. Such as increasing brand recognition through the marketing of the brand via colour or imagery. It can also be through catchy slogans or jingles that are created to leave an impression and therefore influence the consumer to the extent that they are remembered for a significant period of time. Therefore, it can be seen that Coca Cola and McDonalds both use different forms of visual culture in order to improve company image and increase brand recognition.
