In the Advertisement for Campari liquor featuring Eva Mendes, there are numerous components and employed techniques that both enhance and alter the way the audience perceives it. One of the first aspects of this image is the way light is strategically used. In the background of the scene, we see light peaking through a somewhat ominous over cast sky. The lack of light in some areas of the sky gives sets the scene as mysterious and malicious. The light peeking through the clouds however provides a sense of glory and power. Light is also used to highlight the models skin, particularly on Mendes. This alongside with the light that is shining behind Mendes gives her a seductive and mystical appearance. Lastly, a small sparkle of light can be seen on the top of the bottle of Campari. This draws attention to the bottle and also pairs it with Mendes giving it an alluring and enchanting essence as well.
Alongside with light, color also plays a subtle, yet significant role in the audience’s perception of the ad. The dress worn by Mendes is a creamy off-white color. This color reflects light and combined with the highlights on her skin gives Mendes an imperious and elegant glow. The off white color also portrays a sense of innocence however an innocence that is not entirely pure. Another prominent color in this ad is red. The red found on the bottle of Campari is paired with the red ropes are used by Mendes to control her male companion. The color red, which is the most visible

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.

It’s simple, striking, and exceptionally clever. How is this appealing you ask? Well if you are sophisticated and beautiful woman, you want this product. The simplicity of this ad is what gives it so much character. According to A Meeting of Minds, “Connecting objects through color or space conveys association among the ideas behind the objects” (Dobyns, 321). This ad compares a black stiletto heel, which can be associated with sex appeal, beauty, elegance, and power, to the slim mascara brush. This comparison causes the audience to subliminally associate those desirable traits with the mascara. Due to the exceptional contrast in the picture, the viewer’s eye is not distracted. It immediately focuses on the two objects present the stiletto and the brush. This extreme contrast of black and white can flood the viewer’s mind with a variety of associative polarities such as night and day or good and bad. Because the heel and the mascara are depicted in black gives the notion that black is dark, sexy, provocative, and smooth, which is what a high profile woman wants. She wants to catch attention, be recognized, and lusted after. Hence, a woman viewing this elegant ad will want this product because the simplicity of it will allow her to mind to associate desirable characteristics to the make-up.

In television commercials and magazine ads, Miller uses sex, and woman as a way to grab your attention and to sell the product. We all have heard the saying "sex sells" but how far can alcohol companies take it. In their latest commercials, Miller uses two very attractive female twins that argue about to positive aspects for why they drink Miller. One argues she drinks it for the great taste and the other because it 's less filling. This leads to a fight between these two very sexy twins ripping each others clothes off and wrestling around in a fountain of water; they strip each other down to just their underwear.

The advertisement targets audiences are directed at women, who are in heterosexual relationships and who does the shopping for personal-care products on behalf of their boyfriend or husband.

The entire background is dark in order for the most important parts to stand out. Additionally, the clothes in the dryer are red. Red an emotionally tense color captures the eyes of the viewers. The artist of the advertisement did this due to the fact that OxiClean is most commonly used for laundry. The lighting is the brightest on Jennifer Lopez, making her the main focus of the advertisement. The coloring and the lighting of different components of the advertisement capture the eye of viewers; therefore, making known what is important.
Not only can the color of an ad draw in consumers but it can draw in different demographics. Color has the power to persuade different audiences for their ad’s. Tabasco has done great with their choice of color placement in this ad because even with the lack of a variety of colors. The ad has the bright red and green which grabs the attention of consumes.

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 man is fully clothed in a suit, which represents power and formality. It is extremely suggestive as it looks like he came to this position without the woman’s knowledge or consent since her sunglasses are pushed up for her to see. He is in a dominating position where she has to look up at him and the man’s face isn’t shown in the ad, which shows that he is confident. The ad is suggesting that if you have Sky Vodka, you can look glamourous and wealthy as well. The men are always given more power and a higher status than the women (Appendix A). The second image reveals how femininity is portrayed. In the ad for Dolce and Gabbana’s Monico Lipstick, notice the lightness of the woman’s hand touching her face, the touching of one’s face, especially the finger-to-mouth pose is reminiscent of a child. She is also dressed seductively with a come-hither look on her face that is bold and suggestive (Appendix A).
In order to capture our attention, the company first creates an appealing visual to draw us in. In the Revlon advertisement, the face of an attractive Argentinian male dominates the page. He holds a seductive pose, staring directly at the viewer while simultaneously winking; this creates a feeling of intimacy with the viewer. A white woman’s hands are then carefully placed in his hair and his mouth; she is playfully touching him while he gently bites her finger. The use of a white female and Argentinian male conveys the idea that women find men of “color” more attractive and masculine. The woman is hidden in the image, consumed by a black background. This gives us the freedom to imagine her as anyone, including ourselves. If we buy this product and use it, we will attract the attention of men and be more flirtatious. Her nails are then strategically painted a bright pastel green and she is wearing an enormous flashy ring to highlight the nail polish as well as bring
The mood depicted in the include commercial positivity, happiness, and optimism. For any commercial success, these moods are necessary. Optimism is a fair game. It is clear that every living thing in the universe deserves nothing other than the best, and human beings are not an exemption. From the mood shown it becomes clear that living things should treat each other as neighbors, and this is where the virtue of unity emerges. Secondly, happiness can be viewed based on the fact that at the end of the advert the insects and people are seen celebrating their success in accomplishing their set goal.
