Four Print Magazine Advertisements

One good example, which caught my attention was an ad of blue smoke electric cigarettes. Rolling Stones magazine makes it clear that their ads are just propagandas; nor good or bad. Advertising is a method used to attract people’s attention. Advertisement is really important in order for a company survive or succeed. When looking for an advertisement you can find them in newspapers, magazines, billboard, buses, internet, and on the radio, flyers, newsletters or posters. The two most lucrative form of advertisement are television and magazines. The explanation to this is simply. Most of the population prefers to use these types technology communication. What makes a magazine advertising so lucrative is made by the successful color, size and wording. They are made appealing also by photography. In the ad of “blue smokes” the author doesn’t care if the audience pays attention to their ads or not. The reason towards is because the author of Rolling stones knows how to get your attention. Rolling stones make it clear from the beginning, by the style writing that the author focuses on popular culture content. The repletion of writing that we see is word choice and sentence fluency. To boot, good writers use a variety of sentences with different lengths and rhythms to achieve different effects. Therefore, when publishing ads like "blue smoke" the author knows that their audience is going to stop, and see their ad on blue smoke electric cigarettes; by seeing how "blue smokes" are trending in pop culture. Rolling Stones technique when writing about a topic is to stay trending. You can say Rolling stones magazine uses the same ideas of survival of the fittest; in order to

The whole world has seen ads in magazines where the attractive blond-haired person is showing off a bathing suit and a beefy man is looking right at her. Ads like these are misleading due to the impact they put in teen minds. Young teenagers and boys are influenced everyday by these advertisements. Young woman wants to be slimmer and look attractive, the truth is modeling in teen magazine ads have harmful body images. The figures seen in magazine advertisements drive young woman and young boys to put their own body at risk and go beyond what is healthy to attain a certain image of perfection. Teen magazines should forbid advertisements with models with unhealthy body images, causing teens to doubt their own self-worth (Peterson, 1994).

If the answer is yes, then you might have been a victim of today’s marketers. Jean Kilbourne, the author of “Killing us Softly” stated in one of her lectures, “The influence of advertising is quick, cumulative and for the most part, subconscious, ads sell more products.” “Advertising has become much more widespread, powerful, and sophisticated.” According to Jean Kilbourne, “babies at six months can recognize corporate logos, and that is the age at which marketers are now starting to target our children.” Jean Kilbourne is a woman who grew up in the 1950s and worked in the media field in the 1960s. This paper will explain the methods used by marketers in today’s advertising. An advertisement contains one or more elements of aesthetics, humor, and sexual nature.

Due to advances in technology, significant changes in advertising appeared in the 1920’s. In the latter half of the 1900’s ads were illustrated in color for the first time and the layout of most magazines changed. Advertisements, in the 1910 Ladies’ Home Journal, were mostly located in the back of the magazine. Though due to the popularization of name brands, ads moved to the front as competition between products produced more revenue.

Browsing through a magazine, one finds oneself looking at nothing but ads. Not in Ms., a feminist magazine conducted by one of the best-known icons of the women’s movement, Gloria Steinem.

AARP (American Association of Retired People) Magazine has one of the biggest audiences for magazines printed in the United States, with a circulation of 22.8 million. Their primary target audience consists of men and women between the ages of 50 and 75 who are either retired or nearing retirement. AARP’s advertisements greatly reflect their age demographic, as the products being advertised are typical for the baby boomer generation. Examples include easy to type flip phones, heart medication, adult diapers, and easy to climb into bathtubs. The ads promote safety, easy to use products, and easy to purchase products while giving as much information about the product possible on a full page ad.

The magazine’s mission (mandate or philosophy) is the magazine’s focus. It is what defines the

In the magazine, there are eight different products being advertised: Rolex watches, American Cruise Lines, Paul Frederick silk polos, Airbnb family beach houses, Copenhagen and Skoal tobacco chews, Avalon diamond rings, Vet tix military charities, and Japan airlines. Being that the magazine as a whole caters more to an older white collar audience based on its highly political and serious articles, advertisements are highly appropriate. The advertisements in question all appeal to the stereotype of the business working family man who wears polos, travels for work, and has the means to afford expensive goods like Rolex watches and beach houses. As such, those who read this type of newsmagazine are most likely in the demographic aimed at by the advertisements. Inappropriate advertisements for this magazine would include things like children’s toys, personal care products, or any other base need product. All the products in the Magazine are luxury product that speak to the high value and sophisticated nature of the newsletter. If the newsletter didn’t want to seem as high class as it portrays itself, then it would indulge in much more pop culture or commonplace advertisements like Coca-Cola or

In this paper I will focus on studying a specific print advertisement that I have choose which is the ArmanieXchange print ad, where I found this particular ad on Teen Vogue.

Men’s magazines are usually meant for young and middle aged men ranging from men in their mid-twenties to late forties. These magazines often feature ads related to alcohol, automobiles, hunting, politics, scientific advances, technological breakthroughs, travel, dating etc. i.e. the topics that appeal to men in particular. But nowadays advertisers have begun to change the way they usually create an ad for a men’s magazine. They are shifting focus from advertisements which suit only men to advertisements suiting couples, as a vast majority of men who subscribe to these magazines are married or in a relationship. Studies show people prefer to buy a product which appeals to their significant other too more likely than a product that appeals to them alone. The advertisement for Bose has created an image of a sound system which this attracts both males and females alike. It makes sense, as whether in a foreign or domestic market; advertisements like this would appeal to a large target audience.

The Diet Pepsi print advertisement “Forever Young” is quite creative and thought provoking. The print advertisement shows the front of a businessman’s body, from his nose down to his midsection. This most likely belongs in a magazine, in a place such as a doctor’s office or barbershop, or whatever any day place that the average person would visit. He holds a “Diet Pepsi” cup in the center of the advertisement, with the intention of immediately bringing the cup attention to the reader. He blows bubbles through a straw into the beverage, overflowing the cup and making quite a mess. It is a serious, black and gray formal background. This is meant to be ironic, because a businessman does not typically partake in childish behaviors like in the picture, in such a serious, adult-like atmosphere. The main message this is trying to convey is non-conformity, through its ironic picture of a relatable businessman, and its “Forever Young” caption on the bottom right. “Forever Young” could also suggest that drinking Diet Pepsi can make one feel young and like a kid again and how humans have a basic necessity for having fun, which can be explained by blowing the bubbles in the drink.
