This paper will examine a particular Apple ad that appeared on television in 1984. The Macintosh was and still is very popular computer that provides a simplistic feel of creativeness and freedom. Freedom is a key concept because the ad expresses the need to have a sense of freedom to do what we want with no restrictions. Apple is well-known all over the world for the sex appeal to its products, like the iPhone, iPad, and the Macintosh series. These products present a color of either silver, slate, or gold that is very appealing to our eyes. And with such unique colors, Apple manages to make the colors of their products to fit in with its surroundings. Although Apple still has to compete against

Recently, Fenty Beauty released a commercial onto Instagram, Twitter and Youtube. This is the ideal method for displaying the makeup line because commercials have motion, which allows the viewer to see the use of the products in various looks. This advertisement shows a wide variety of people from different cultures and parts of the world. This makes it relatable to almost all people watching it because people automatically connect to advertisements where they see people that they associate with themselves. Therefore, by using this technique people will have a positive image of the brand and are more likely to buy the products. Along with the use of diverse models, there were animations of the products all linking together.

Why I choose this image to work up and do analysis of. Well as a photographer it touches on a theme that I and other photographers must deal with. The idea that someone can get something for free. Just because we are photographers or even a regular artist that we are all just dying for more exposure and are willing to do whatever you want for some “good exposure”. I don’t think that most folks are all the self-severing, they are just unaware how much time and money goes into producing a good image. And suffer from this misbelief that this is just someone’s hobby and not their lively hood. Form the text of “trust me I am a professional Photographer I don’t work for free” and with the camera, lens, and SD cards in the middle. It

The young, innocent, promising lives of our past drive emotions through artistic expressions that can be displayed though many outsources. Upon our day to view the art gallery, I entered the gallery feeling apprehensive that I would view any piece of art that I found relatable or even one that I found any interest in. I was wrong in my assumptions and found a beautiful painting named “Console” by Barlow Palminteri. Tasked with describing what the painting looks like, what it means to me, as well as my overall connection with the painting is what I’ll discuss within this paper. The painting’s colors, sizes, shapes, and artistic aspects drew me into its beauty and torment. Likewise, the painting reminded me of my youth that roused many different

Theme: To describe theme in my video I used numerous pictures and a song that was done by Nirvana in the 90’s since that is the main character’s favorite band. For instance, I used the blonde girl rocking the headphones because Nico has blonde hair and loves music. I used the worn out Chuck Taylor shoes because that's how the character feels, pulled in every direction and tired. The picture of Kurt Cobain displays a lot of things, one of them being that the story is advertently surrounded around him, and his band.

In this C-print portrait photograph of a Saint Joseph ballet dancer from Orange County, California, the subject matter is the person, Stephany. She is pictured wearing a very intense red hue Guess sweater, an almost blank expression on her bare, natural face, and she is standing, posed with a slight lean inward to the left but her gaze is straight ahead. Her facial expression is soft, and there is a complete lack of subject matter in the background. The contrasting value difference in the Guess sweater she is pictured wearing and the whitish-gray empty background keeps your eyes focused on the subject.

The artwork is black, white, and grey with varying line lengths and thickness. The most prominent feature is the woman's nose and lips and even the edges of her face are mostly implied lines instead of hard lines. The picture is gritty and looks as if someone scrubbed a regular black and white image of a woman with a scrub brush of some sort. It is hard to tell if there is an overlaying image that is covering the woman's face or if it is just supposed to be her hair. Her nose and lips are a bit on the larger and thicker side, she may have been intended to be African American or Hispanic. Some of the wisps around her face seem feather-like. The image only shows her from just below her shoulders and up and it seems like she may have on sunglasses. The image also has quite a bit of white background which is not that common for artworks to have, typically the artist tries to fill in each part of their canvas with the image or wit hanother color besides white.

I am going to introduce an artwork A Wooded Landscape in Three Panels created in 1905, by Louis Comfort Tiffany. When I entered the showroom, I was immediately fascinated by its huge dimension, 86.5 inches in height and 131.56 inches in width. The medium of this artwork are glass, copper-foil and lead. This is a stained glass window of a forest scene. A beautiful landscape with a lot of big green trees in front of the picture, many bright colorful wild flowers in the right corner, and a small pond behind the trees, etc. The small pieces of colored glass are arranged to form patterns and the whole pictures. They held together by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame. Working with glass allowed the artist to achieve varied and interesting effects. When the light shines through this window, the viewers are able to see many different colors of the picture, and the artwork looks so lively. It is an amazing glass window I have ever seen before.

This painting is of a field full of flowers and a stretch of sidewalk that ends with a sign right in the middle of it. There are yellow flowers and pink flowers. A streak of jet clouds in an otherwise uninterrupted sky. And it would be an amazing peaceful view if it weren’t for the big striped sign that declares “END SIDEWALK”.

The commercial starts out with a dark brown haired woman, named Ashley, sitting on a couch holding a small wooden alien figurine. She then proceeds to say “I love your apartment Brian” as a man, Brian, and a monkey are walking up from behind the couch. The monkey climbs over the couch and sits next to Ashley. As the monkey, Frank, sits next to Ashley, Ashley says “and Frank is so well behaved”. Brian leaning on the couch from behind says “yeah we’re best buddy’s. I’m going to grab some Bud Lights” as he points towards his kitchen. Brian then stands up and walks into his kitchen. Ashely now looking at Frank says “You’re so cute”. Frank puts his arm around Ashley and says “I think uh you’re cute too”. Ashley

My first thoughts upon seeing this painting is the ambitious use of light, particularly the use of manmade light as a contrast to the dark night time surroundings. I think that this is intriguing, and this is one of the pieces in particular that drew me towards Hopper as an artist.

The colours of the icing are very neutral with a few lightly saturated decorations and toppings. At first glance, your eye wants to look around the outside of the cakes before the inside to see the different designs before looking at the simply decorated cakes.

The Starry Night Over the Rhône is a painting finished by Vincent van Gogh in France September 1888. The style of this painting is Impressionism.

The description of the painting is that Vincent van Gogh patented a calm night at the beach.

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.

Cleaning commercials use various techniques to persuade their audiences to buy their products. Through different advertising techniques, they are able to convey their messages and identify who their target audience is. This is true for most, but in the end some companies are more successful than others in doing so.
