Advertisement Analysis In this Cosmopolitan magazine ad for Tacori jewelry, there is a silver honey comb stick with rich, golden brown honey on the end of it. The honey looks like it is about to drip off of the stick, making the honey look very indulgent. On the handle of the honey stirrer are three engagement rings. The bottom one is a wedding band with diamonds around the whole band. The middle ring and the top ring are the same ring just with different views. The middle ring is the top view and the top ring is the side view. The ring has one big rounded square diamond in the middle and little diamonds around it and on the band four more diamonds on each side. From the ad, the marketing idea

Color is a very important detail when creating an ad, and in this ad, the colors chosen were the not bright or vibrant colors, they were simple yet elegant. The background is all white, which allows all of the attention to be drawn to the delectable golden honey on the wand and to the sparkling silver of the rings. The word TACORI is located at the top left hand corner of the ad. It is a thin, black font and does not take up a lot of room, it is just enough to let the reader know what the brand is. I think that the reason why there are not many colors and the name of the company is not a huge bold font is because the main focus is the rings themselves. The honey wand is rather large and the rings are zoomed in on so that the crystal clear diamonds shimmer on the magazine paper. The bright yellow, deep orange and brown from the honey add the only splash of color for this ad. I think the colors of the honey though are used to create a rich feeling to the ad, after all, these rings are the best and money the best is what money can …show more content…
This ad did a very good job at showing the rings in different angles. The ring at the bottom of the honey wand is the wedding band. In the ad, the ring is positioned so that the diamonds that go around the entire ring can be seen but also the inside of the ring is shown because the word TACORI is stamped on the inside. This is a very good marketing strategy because the rings look more desirable knowing they are name brand. The middle ring is the engagement ring. It is positioned so that the reader is looking straight at the huge square setting of the ring. It shows the top, which is what a person sees if they are wearing the ring. This makes it easier for a person to imagine what it would be like to wear the ring. And the top ring shows the side of the ring, and the small but beautiful details of the smaller diamonds surrounding the sides of the ring. This gives a person the full view of the rings at every

    What does the image say? Pictures are worth a thousand words, and this is very true for print advertisements. How does the photograph grab our attention? Is the picture depicting the product by itself, or being used by someone? Does the photograph show us a lifestyle associated with the product (essentially telling us how the product would make our life better)? How do the images relate to the text?…

    To start off, this ad has a lack of color except for the periwinkle polish that is apart of the large image. This lack of color helps to highlight the pigmentation of the nail polish as well as the main focus of the ad. The brand name is even in white, but it is being outlined by faint grey shading to make the letters seem three dimensional like on the nail polish bottle. In the middle of the page, there is a huge, clear cassette tape balancing on top of a bottle of Essie nail polish. The periwinkle color polish in this bottle is being…

    In this image, Lange portrays pathos by displaying many forms of emotion all in one frame. Desperation is swept across the young mother’s face. She sits there, pondering what is going to happen next, worrying about where she is going to go next. Also, her face shows a sense of humility, and she knows she is trying her best. Moving down to her hand, her ring shows a glimpse of hope in what the future is going to hold. She could have sold her ring, and gotten a few good meals and she maybe could be living in something better than a tent, but she chose not to. The ring shows the strength in family, and how family stays together even in hard times, and it is a symbol of what was and hope for what will be. It is a beacon through the storm.…

    The use of a white flower with a slightly pink hue and bright green stems provides an adequate contrast of colors that grabs your attention towards the ad. I am confident that there are other flowering plants that could offer similar or improved aesthetic qualities to illustrate the romance scent. Instead of using the relatively small subtle pinkish white flowers they could have just as effectively employed roses or orchids for the promotion. However, the delicate, quaint, and dainty flower that was picked for the ad is justifiable.…

    The advertisement uses many different sizes and colors within the whole image. The top Cover Girl is in the light green color reflecting back to the idea of softness and it is the vantage point for a person’s eyes. It is very bold and automatically draws attention to the top half of the advertisement. Also, the different very black and dark bold text at the bottom of the page seems intriguing for a few reasons. First, the different font types and sizes attempt to make you really see the first three lines very clearly and get an understanding of what the product is. However, the work “new” happens to be in green followed by “natureluxe silk foundation” with “luxe” being bolded, suggesting that this product is truly “luxury touched by nature;” which is in very small print right below that as well. In addition, I find it interesting that the two black bolded lines both have the word “air” in them and also soft, air-like words, such as “fresh” and “breath.” To me this is suggesting that even though the text may be dark and bold, this product is still going to make the user feel fresh and…

    The four techniques that the nail polish ad is using are; visual, appeals, alliteration and inclusive language. They use inclusive language to get the viewer to agree with them”We’re all tired of ordinary polish that smudges, chips that take ages to dry. But who really wants to spend hundred each year on shellac manicures, uncomfortable and damaging acrylic nails?” The ad uses alliteration to grab the viewer’s attention “Better than Shellac? Better than Acrylics?” Another technique they use to sell this product is appeal “Luminail are offering a select number of Melbourne women the chance to try it for free,” its appealing to the viewer because they can try this amazing, new nail polish for free and see for themselves how good it is. The audience for this ad is a broad range of women who use nail polish.…

    The layout also is represented as entertainment to ones eye, daring you to find out the product that is being sold. Your eyes are automatically are drawn to the women that appears directly in the center of the ad wearing a white bikini, and apparently is bending over backwards in an unnatural method. “At a moment like THIS I don’t care if my tampons came in a little black box. I just want ‘em to work.” This is a quote that is located right above the blonde, exaggerating at the game of limbo. From the quote above, the word “this” is what catches your attention first because it is capitalized and in a different font, which made me re-read the statement. As the glow of the sun distracts me to all the brunettes that surround the center of attention I then notice the beach. The product being sold is the last thing I became aware of. The layout makes one want to buy the product merely because it doesn’t remind you of being on their period, it does a good job of distracting ones thoughts from the seven days, making you think that that’s how their tampons work as well.…

    The advertisement depicts Wonder Woman lying in a hospital bed looking severely ill. She has on her red, white, blue, and gold costume instead of a normal patient hospital gown. She is still wearing her famous tiara and magic bracelets, golden bands with a single red star in the center. Her golden lasso of truth is lying on the table beside the bed to her right along with a metal pan and two bottles, one glass the other plastic. A white sheet covers her lower body up to her hips, but the viewer can still see some of the white stars on the blue bottoms of her costume. She has an intravenous drip hooked up to her left arm pumping fluids into her rundown body. Her eyes are dark and cheeks sunken in; her once golden skin tone now resembles that of a corpse, and her bones are prominent on her malnourished body. A bruise in the inside of her elbow on the right arm implies that the spot was recently punctured by a needle, whether it is that of an IV or from a previous injection of a form of drugs. This may possibly…
