For my first advertisement I choose a Sun Chips ad that I found in Real Simple Magazine. This ad is recent, put out sometime last month. This ad is excessively colorful and has a huge picture of a single sun chip with fresh vegetables next to it. This is because this is an ad specifically for the Garden Salsa Sun Chips. Below that, in big letters are “Shake Up the Snackus Quo” then below that it says “Sure we made that word up. But here are a few words we didn’t, 100% whole grain, whole lot of delicious. I initially was drawn to this ad because of the bright colors. It stuck out in comparison to the rather neutral colors in the rest of the magazine. However, after a few seconds I was uninterested in the ad because it lacked entertainment and did not hold my interest and more importantly it did not make me want to go and buy Sun Chips. …show more content…
At the top of this ad it says ”your invitation to try better snacks by mail” and right below that it in huge animated letters it shows “free box”. Following this is large picture in the center of the page of a box with 4 different kinds of snacks. In this box they promise to provide both exciting and nutritious snacks via a weekly subscription. For Fowles’ appeals I think this uses the need to satisfy curiosity appeal. It states that they are great snacks that are promised to be both exciting and nutritious. They stand by this to such an extent that they are willing to send you a free box. Personally, when reading this ad I almost went to the website because free snacks by mail sparked my curiosity enough that wanted to know more about it even though I knew I would not ever pay for a subscription. As far as rhetorical appeal, I think they used logos because it used the word free in a way that almost gives reason enough to try it simply because it is free and there is nothing to
Advertisers all have one goal in common, that is an ad that is catching to a consumer’s attention. In today’s fast paced society there are so many selling products and charities. As I exam the advertisement for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals (ASPCA), I will show how they use the pathos, ethos, and logos – also known as Aristotle’s Theory of Persuasion.
Persuasive techniques are used to grab the audience’s, to establish credibility and trust, to stimulate desire for the product to motivate us to buy, vote, give money. The Hungry Jacks advertisement uses bribery to help sell their product, while the McDonald’s advertisement uses the buzzword ‘new’. The key persuasive techniques that Hungry Jack uses are frozen coke only a $1,Free whooper, The Outlaw menu and the Hungry Jacks logo to attach people attention. The Mc Donald’s advertisement uses It’s a brand new burger”, Tasty Aussie lamb, All new Pattie and Only $4.95. The ‘buy one, get one free’ offer entices the audience to purchase the product as they get something extra in reward. Mc Donald advertisement using phrases words to persuasive people
With the location and the community near the ad out of the way, the rhetorical appeals can better be explained. Those being logos, ethos, and pathos. To begin with, logos, or logic, tries to appeal to the intellect and mind of the target audience that they are trying to reach. In the case of this specific ad, the logic of this ad seems quite direct. In that if you prefer to eat chicken, you should visit Chick-fil-A, instead of the alternatives. Which in the case of this ad, it is almost a blunt statement. Since it directly tells the viewer to, eat more chicken. The next rhetorical appeal would be ethos, or appealing to ethics. Which tries to convince you that the author behind the ad is credible and an authority on the topic in question. In
Most people, don’t stop and think how advertisers persuade you to buy their product. After reading Advertising’s 15 Basic Appeals, by Jib Fowles. I’ve learned that advertisers use one or more appeals in their ads, it can be used positively or negatively. While observing the tridents gum ad, it was obvious that the ad contained the need for sex, personification, and affiliation.
In his 1982 article, “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” Jib Fowles informs readers of various psychological human needs, defined as appeals. These appeals are used in advertising, to persuade consumers to purchase a product. Due to the prevalence of advertisements in today’s society, consumers have learned to block out advertisements. By using any of the fifteen appeals such as the need for sex, or the need for affiliation, companies can get into consumers’ minds, with hopes of selling their products. In other words, by appealing to consumers desires, the chance of marketing success
One billboard,for example,features simple but effective advertising. It is simply the image of an inviting burgers makes you so hungry who would want to stop for some. The picture shows fresh tomatoes,fresh lettuce and it made of white meat chicken.this is
The four advertisements chosen represented separate, and distinctive, themes. The first advertisement, for anti-wrinkle cream, utilized a bandwagon approach and a sense of the ideal retirement life. The second advertisement, for hygiene experts, suggests utilizing the fear of uncleanliness to sell the services. The third advertisement, for Camel cigarettes, brought a sense of nostalgia as I remembered spending time, as a child, with my oldest brother prior to his passing. To summarize, it embodied the ideal picture of a manly outdoorsman. The fourth, and final, advertisement focused on food and choices. Specifically, one pizza offered two distinctly unique flavors.
When someone looks at an advertisement there is more that meets the eye than just pictures
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.
The commercial I chose would be the skittles tree commercial. The first observation made would be the color scheme. The commercial does not really use bright greens on the plants around the characters, but instead the plants look almost drought stressed because of how yellow tinted the leaves are. I also notice that the mother and son are wearing lighter colors besides the burnt red vest the son is wearing, but I would still consider their clothing in very “earthy” or natural tones. The commercial is not in the best quality, and I think it may be because it is an older commercial, which may explain why the colors are so dull. At the end of the commercial, very bright words are displayed with the skittles logo. Usually people are attracted to
If I were creating a script for a sunflower seeds commercial. I would open the video with a mom, dad, and their daughter watching their son/brother’s baseball game. Next, I would show the brother getting back into the dugout and his mom would then ask his sister to bring her brother a bag of sunflower seeds. For me a commercial like this would bring back nostalgia to when I would do this for my brother. A script represents an event for someone. The script here is that no baseball game is complete without family and sunflower seeds. When you think of a baseball game you typically think back to family, and certain foods that were there.
The print ad I chose is the campaign for Quiznos subs. From the fist time I saw this ad I remember saying “ This campaign will be bad for business”. I would think any sane human would not want to see their food and mutant rodents to mix at all. This ad made it seem like Quiznos is either using rodent meat in their sandwiches. Or there are little “buck teeth” critters crawling their food prep station. Since the release of this ad I seriously stop eating Quiznos.
Different strategies are used in all advertisements. Every aspect of the advertisement is strategically planned to appeal to the audience. For example, an advertisement that does a great job of using sex appeal to reach its audience is “Carl’s Jr all natural burger”. This ad appeared during the super bowl forty-nine, and it was a big hit. The ad features ,22-year-old model buxom, Charlotte McKinney. Throughout the video it shows her walking through the town and appearing as if she is nude. She gets all the attention from the guys in the town as she saunters past. in one scene there’s a man reaching for a tomato as she walks by, she turns around and gives him a flirty look and it emerges as if he is grasping her gluteus. At the end she appears in a bikini nearly nude “I love going all natural,” she purrs, opening wide to take a bite out of a big, juicy, “all natural” hamburger. Advertising appeals aim to influence the way consumers view themselves and how buying certain products can prove to be beneficial for them.
When coming across a food advertisement, what is the first thing that makes you want to buy it? Is it the packaging of the product? Is it how delicious the food looks? Or is it the celebrity endorsement? Every company uses a combination of rhetorical strategies, such as ethos, pathos, and logos, to attract their customers. Popchips, for example, is a healthier, lighter version of potato chips. Instead of fried or baked, they are heated in a pressurized chamber and then quickly released, which makes them “pop”; hence the name. There are many different flavors of Popchips available and each of them has their own advertisement. All of the ads have one thing in common; the endorser, Popstar, Katy Perry. She automatically has fans grabbing bags off the shelves as quickly as they are stocked. The particular ad we are reviewing is the barbeque flavor. At first glance, we see large, lower-case words that say “love. without the handles.” Then, our eyes move towards the middle and we see thin, fit Katy Perry holding two bags of Popchips as if she were lifting dumbbells. Looking down in the left corner is the Popchips slogan, “think popped! never fried. never baked.” While pathos and logos both play a role in this Popchips ad, ethos is really what grabs the attention of most buyers.
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.
