This advertisement has clearly appropriated the concept and feelings around cat woman and cats in general. Cats are often known as mischievous animals, which is how the model relates to the slogan of the perfume, “discover the new mischievous fragrance”. Cats are also known to play with ribbons which is which a pink ribbon is seen floating through the Paris and around the model. With the word discover in pink font in the slogan, we then relate the pink ribbon to this idea of touring Paris. Cat woman on the other hand represents sexiness with is another main component to this advertisements feeling, which is why her well known character and qualities have been appropriated for this ad, and represented by the…
They take the sexualization of women to a different level. In this particular advertisement they have the woman in a powerful role. This ad is shown in gray scale coloring. The background shows very ornate detailing on the walls. Heavy encrusted molding outlines the flower detailing. The intricate detailing of the flowers travels all the way up the wall to the ceiling. There is a black fireplace with a think mantle. The model is standing on top of the mantle. She’s grasping the wall with one hand. In the other hand her arm is bent at the elbow. She’s holding a short black leather whip in her hand. The braided portion is draped behind her shoulders. The fall is hanging down next to her long hair by her shoulder. Her long blonde hair is pulled tightly into a high ponytail. A black wrap is placed around the hair to make it stand very tall. Her ponytail is hanging all to one side and it hangs just below her shoulder. She is dressed fully in a black leather pant suit with a long zipper from her belly button to groin. She has a very slender body with the leather outfit hugging every aspect of her curves. There are spikes flanking both sides on her shoulders. Her long legs look even longer with the tall high heeled boots she’s wearing. There is a bottle of Dom Perignon adorned on the fireplace. A man is kneeling in front of the fireplace looking up at her. He is shirtless and appears to be bound…
Victoria’s Secret has several ads on television and in magazines that are most likely to bring attention to women. This particular ad contains an image of a women’s arm, her hand in a seductive position while holding a red bra in her fingers looking like she is about to drop it on the ground. The background is dark pink around the edges and gets lighter as it gets closer to the bra. This effect draws the audience in so they focus on the bra in the center of the ad. In small letters under the bra, at the bottom of the ad, there is text that says, “dress your boyfriend’s floor”, under that there are big bolded letters that say “Victoria’s Secret” with the website www.victoriassecret.com below. The font is in black to contrast the pink and stand out to the viewer. (Victoria’s Secret)…
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 scene of the ad takes place at night in a sky-rise apartment in some thriving metropolis. In the apartment, the drapes are for now pushed aside while a woman, perhaps in her 20s, stands straddling a man, with an indefinable age, sitting in a 60s-style chair with only his legs and forearm visible. The man holds a martini and the woman holds a drink mixer while seductively looking into the hidden face of the mystery man. The man is wearing a business suit and the woman wears the clichéd “little black dress” paired with studded black heels. Both the male and female are Caucasian. In the left foreground is the picture of the product, a Skyy Vodka bottle sitting next to a martini on a table. The main appeal to sex is made by the body language between the man and the woman, as the man’s legs are in between hers and her posture and leering facial expression scream “seductress.” Another obvious appeal to sex is the inclusion of the drapes in the upper left-hand corner, implying that they might have to be drawn a bit later. The man’s hidden face is a significant statement to his power. The missing identity and the fact that he is sitting down in an enveloping chair gives the image of the high-profile boss who is never seen. He is the Charlie and the woman is his “angel,” a subordinate especially as she is serving him a drink.…

The iconic perfume Chanel number 5, 1937 advertisement, what makes it powerful, Unique? The answer is simple the ethos used in the commercial, which is Madame Gabrielle Chanel herself. Coco Chanel did not only market the fragrance herself, but also it was the first fragrance to be marketed by a designer’s name, so the ethos was used here twice, once as the name of the perfume and also her own figure, standing in her suit Ritz, proud, chic , well dressed, and iconic, not paying attention to the camera, but instead looking into her challenges and achievements, as if they were running in front of her eyes, those flashes and images, were the power that gave her that strength to stand like that, an advertisement like this with a person who can be a raw model for many women inspired me a lot, and changed my point of view of perfume from a beautiful and feminine to powerful.…
The advertisement is composed of two parts equally. On the left side, it is a portrait of a female celebrity with a serious facial expression. On the right side, it is a question written in large font with a small text and an image of a crib below it. The question is: “Not really the way you pictured your first crib, huh?” The crib has a simple design. The advertisement is basically black and white with a touch of a hot pink color. This color only appears in the name of the organization, which is at the bottom of the portrait, and parts of the question.…

By far, the most popular and common motif displayed within perfume advertising is that of a female model. Although it can be argued that there are more perfumes and fragrances for women, amongst most brands, and therefore more adverts for female perfumes in general, the image of woman is exploited in perfume advertising, with female nakedness becoming increasingly more common, significantly more than the image of men. ‘The typical image of the sensuous women enticingly or definitely addressing the viewer continues to be repeatedly employed in contemporary advertising, assuming the form of an ‘agent provocateur’, whose main function in ads is that of eliciting the desired emotional response in the viewer’. With the rapid development of new…
