Magazine Advertisment
Advertisements are everywhere on TV, the internet, movies, magazines, etc. They are there to get people to buy whatever it is that they are advertising. They do it with color, models, and tricky words. In this case my magazine advertised a lip balm called “Baby Lips”. This advertisement says that you can, “kiss dull lip balms goodbye and instead have baby lips” making it so that woman get interested into buying this product because you will have baby lips.
The colors that are being used in my advertisement are grey, black, bright orange, and white. What is being suggested in this advertisement is that you should wear the lip balm shown in the magazine because it will give you baby lips. In the article the picture is of a pretty woman whose whole face is grey, except her lips. The rest of the article is in very light colors making it so that the lip balm and the models lips are the two things stand out the most. Both of them are in a bright orange color that makes them stand out more than anything else in the picture.
Also in my advertisement there is a model, she is a female, although you can’t see all her body and just her face you can tell that she is pretty just by the way her eyelashes and eyebrows are done. The expression on her face is as if the woman is going to give someone a kiss. She has her eyes closed but she looks like if she’s in the mood of kissing someone and feels good about that. All these little details are made to imply that with this lip balm everyone will want to get kissed by your baby lips. In the picture there is also a before and after picture of someone’s lips but you can’t really tell the difference.
Words are a big help in advertising. The words call the reader’s attention and also can sometimes fool the buyer. In my ad it says “In one week your lips will be visibly renewed.” Although it says that, there is no given proof of it. They don’t provide us with a survey of people or percentage of people who says that. Also the word baby

    When thinking of advertisements, for some odd reason, I immediately will think of Cover Girl makeup ads that are often found in almost every woman’s magazine. However, this particular advertisement features country music superstar Taylor Swift and very similar to all of their distinctive ads focuses mostly on her face. This ad is for their new “natureluxe silk foundation- luxury touched by nature.” From this relatively simple ad, as it only contains a close up of Taylor Swift as well as text, it allows for the discussion of it’s unique aesthetics.…

    Metonmy vs Metaphor

    There are a wide variety of style choices metonymy ads can choose to use. Getting a celebrity to endorse their product, use promoters like The Canadian Cancer Society, or the National Breast Cancer Foundation to connect on a deeper level with the reader and potentially make them feel like they have done something good as well, use bold slogans that will make the reader believe their product will without a doubt work, or even design the ad in such a way that will give the reader a sense of trust and warmth at first glance. Metonymy can make the reader connect with the ad by using a bunch of different tactics like the ones stated above. For example, the first ad is made by Clairol and is promoting hair dye by Natural Instincts (Clairol 111). In this ad the celebrity endorsing the product is Giada, a well-known chief. Since this ad is for hair dye, Clairol made the celebrity’s hair shiny, and healthy looking. This can make the reader believe the product works since it looks believable from the ad. The second ad was made by Covergirl and is promoting mascara. The celebrity endorsing this product is Pink, a singer. This ad is stating this type of mascara can make your lashes have 200% more volume, along with zero clumps (Covergirl 117). It also makes the product seem more desirable by adding in extra benefits if the reader decides to purchase this product, “…

    Advertising is a way of producing commercials for products or services. In a fast paced world that we live in today, all types of information is thrown at us at an uncomfortable rate. On tablets, smartphones, computers, newspapers, radio and TV, we encounter ads for all kinds of products from a vast variety of large corporate companies almost every single day. In places like Manhattan, more specifically Times Square, there are a plethora of advertisements on grand billboards and on beautiful immersive screens that rest beside buildings. Ad’s have drastically increased since the turn of the twenty first century. Companies use clever tactics, such as weasel words and psychological tactics to differentiate them from other companies. Words like better, improved, new, fast and so forth play a deciding factor when buying a product, and it is up to the consumer to analyze the truth behind these words. In the article “With These Words I Can Sell You Anything” by William Luts, he states that “Advertisers use weasel words to appear to be making a claim for a product when in fact they are making no claim at all” (62). Companies want the consumer to feel the need to buy their products, as if it were drastically changing the person's life. Advertising is an effective method used by companies to promote their ideas through their…

    The economy is based on consumption and advertising is an indispensable motivator that persuades people to consume. Advertising is one of the biggest tools companies use to sell a product. Today if a product is not actively marketing, publicizing, or advertising itself the product will fail. It is essential for an advertisement to use rhetorical appeals to grab the viewer’s attention. Advertising can be so good that it can sell things to people using a picture alone. It is all in the eye of the beholder. So when I was flipping through the pages of Cosmopolitan magazine I stumble across an ad for ZzzQuil an - over - the counter sleeping aid. It was towards the middle of the magazine and it popped out like a huge billboard. The ad captures attention because the picture of the women sleeping looks so comfortable and makes peaceful sleep desirable and attainable. The ad shows a woman in her bedroom with her striped bedding sleeping in what appears to be a very deep sleep. She is lying face down, eyes shut, with mouth wide open in her bed with her curly hair pressed against the pillow and her arm dangling off the side of the bed. She is sleeping in her bed with a big caption saying “Because sleep is a beautiful thing” (“ZzzQuil”). The ad has amazing appeal and is a great attention grabber. The target audience is clear and defined and all three appeals are used well. The ZzzQuil advertisement is targeting women and they are using all three rhetorical appeals ethos, pathos, and logos to sell this product.…

    In a society filled with wants and needs, advertisement serves as a persuasive yet informative factor while aiming for an appealing effect on the potential consumer, Advertisement’s influential role on the consumer has provided a reliable resource for successful sales, while simultaneously creating a more competitive environment for opposing companies. For example, Rimmel London and Cover Girl, two extremely successful makeup industries are at constant war in advertising. When selling similar products, such as make up, brands are completely reliant on their advertisement’s approach. In all reality, both products may have the same effect but must rely on their commercial’s “pitch” to sell. If not marketed properly, even the best products can be overshadowed. Despite their widely different approach, both Rimmel London and Cover Girl understand the core elements of successful advertisement.…

    In the Secret ad, the artist called to a younger female audience through the use of bright yet soft colors. The majority of the ad including the background is blue signifying a fresh, outdoor theme. A young girl would see this ad and would assume that if she uses Secret Deodorant then she would be fresh and clean whenever she goes outdoors. The remaining colors include lavender purple and a light baby pink. These colors are very much feminine and would visually appeal to a young female reader because girls adore soft pretty colors such as those. Through the use of the colors the ad itself gives off an emotional appeal because visually it gives off a very refreshing, gentle and comfortable…

    There are several ways that language of advertising differs from other kinds of language. Language of advertising is always simple and short because people do not have the patient to think and listen to a long and complicated advertisement. Also, using simple language also can help advertisers to target to variety groups of people. For example applying the Fox Index equation, we can tell which group of people (with different age and education level) can understand the advertisement. Not only do language of advertising is simple and short, but also it repeats a lot. According to Answer.Com, “the average person needs to hear something twenty times before they truly learn it.” The advertisers want their slogan to play repetitively in consumer’s mind and convince people to use their service or buy their products. Advertisements also use well-known celebrities to represent their products, so people can relate themselves more to the products because people want to be as famous and beauty as those celebrities. Another characteristic of language of advertising that I can think of is that it use ethos and pathos appeal more than logical appeal. In other words, advertisements try to move people emotional with stories and other…

    In “With These Words I Can Sell You Anything”, William Lutz describes how advertisers trick people into buying their products by using weasel words, which are words that “appear to be making a claim for a product when in fact they are making no claim at all” (49). He suggests to examine these words carefully and see how hollow they actually are. He then goes on by providing numerous examples of weasel words such as “help” and “virtually”. Lastly, He suggests consumers to ask themselves for the denotation meaning of the words and find out what the ad is really saying before committing buying the products.…
