Havaianas Advertisement
This article is stating that these sandals fit all personalities and characters; no one is too cool for these sandals. In order to persuade the audience they obviously use attractive models to gain the reader’s attention. They then go on to dress the models in the clothing the words are describing. All in all they made a pretty cool looking ad that will definitely grab the attention of their audience, Cosmopolitan readers. The ad keeps one looking around the page so that the reader will see at the bottom where the name of the company and what they are selling is located.
Havaianas is not necessarily implying that one benefits in any particular way by wearing their sandals, they are just trying to iterate that these sandals are or can be worn be anyone. Superhero’s, movie stars, and even tango enthusiasts would wear these at times, so they must have the style and comfort for all occasions. Havaianas might not make u better person, but it appears from the models that they are in a good mood and comfortable in there surrounding even though the house is getting destroyed. At first glance I thought the article was trying to make it seem one would be more popular for wearing Havaians, but then I realized they are trying to sell people on the products versatility, how it is a sandal for all occasions.
After studying and trying to find the different meanings of the article I conclude that the implied claims are supported efficiently by the content of the ad. The words “and/or” are placed in the article twice; this helps the reader distinguish the proper meaning of the article and not assume that these are the people you can become by wearing

    The logos of the commercial, the logic arguments of rhetoric, were used in this commercial with a purpose of persuading the audience. They use supermodels to show the consumer that if you buy the product you will look attractive. As a rhetoric strategy they used hyperbole because as we can see in the video these supermodels wear this underwear with the purpose of selling you this product, but with a really exotic background, like expensive cars and a…

    Lewis argues that this advertisement “blatantly uses stereotypes” (p. 179) to appeal to society’s decided gender roles and it gravely influences consumers to strive to fit in to those roles. She explains throughout her essay that we have been categorized into these roles over many generations that portray men to be hard, violent, “power incarnate” (p. 179), with no expression of weakness. Women are seen as being unintelligent, overly sensitive, sexual and innocent beings that must obey men. Lewis announces that this ad conveys the message that in order for a man to be “hard and powerful” or a woman to be “sexually intense and desirable” (p.180) they must be dressed in Fila jeans. She contends that there is a powerful sexual theme underlying the message conveyed in this advertisement.…

    Craig’s idea of women rarely challenging the men in ads is portrayed in this one perfectly. Not only are the women not challenging the man, they are stuck in a vending machine. The women in this ad are all white skinny females with little to no clothing on. There is also a sign above the man’s head saying “Open 24 hours.” Not only are the women stuck in a vending machine, they are also available 24/7. The writing on the side of the ad says, “Live your fantasy” as if to say, if you buy these shoes, you’ll get to pick any woman you would like. While the world doesn’t work that way, this ad appeals to men allowing them to think that it would if they bought the…

    The emotional appeal that comes from this ad is the trendy lifestyle of the generation. There are young girls that are modeling these clothing, and may convey a message that if one were to wear these type of clothes, they'd feel young and stylish as well. Not only are they young but they are revealing more than a decent amount of skin which shows sex appeal. They also are thin and tall young girls who would make other girls feel threatened and envious of these models and therefore would aim to look just like them. Then again, most girls disregard their looks and accept themselves so one would also feel attractive by this type of clothing.…

    As feminism values grow more popular in the modern world, more young girls are taught to dress for themselves, rather than in ways society suggests they should dress. Hannah Berry, a former student at Wright State University, analyzed two shoe ads and their effect on the ways society suggests young girls should dress. She argues how two shoe companies, Clarks and Sorel, remind girls that natural beauty comes from being uniquely themselves. I believe Berry has a valid and supported argument, but there are flaws in her evidence that lead me to provide a counterargument. Young women continue to establish their own guidelines regarding what they can wear everyday to distinguish themselves. However, there is still a social stigma seen in both ads that suggest beauty is the true key success.…

    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)…

    Very often we see women depicted in advertisements wearing very little and trying to seduce the men even though their target market is women. What is the purpose of targeting men with beautiful women, when you are not trying to sell them anything? Simple, it creates an image of what you are supposed to look like to be attractive to a man. Victoria Secret’s commercials constantly do this with women who come out strutting down the runway with one of those looks that says you “Feast on me, I’m here to be looked at, my body is for your eyes.” (Bordo 191) Bordo uses this quote as she describes the young man in the Calvin Klein ad who without being forward about it portrays an image of sexuality. This is contrary to most of the images we usually see and Bordo describes this in an interesting way as she says “His body isn’t a stand-in phallus; rather he has a penis.”…

    As opposed to coercive methods that facilitate crime intervention, assessment, and suppression, anti-gang campaigns offers a preventive approach to crime. Before, launching any anti-gang drive, it is often strategic to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the crime risk factors and the propensity of individuals to engage in offenses (Bowers & Johnson, 2003). The campaign then serves to provide not only awareness of the demerits of crime but also addresses the specific causes of the crime (Howell, 2011). It provides a deviation from the formal ways of…

    Susan Bordo describes the ways men can alter an advertisement, and how the way they dress and behave in the advertisement can change the perception of them. Some advertisements that centers around men are used for the sole purpose of exuding sex appeal. Campaigns advertising products such as cologne and fashion use this approach abundantly, mainly to get people’s attention. When men are illustrated this way, it is much more controversial because men are perceived more in a feminine way. As Susan Bordo states, “It is feminine to be on display” (Bordo, 135). Males exuding femininity is not completely accepted in today’s culture because of the stereotype that men should be authoritative and burly men. This approach was used in the Gucci Underwear advertisement that Bordo described in her first chapter. Other ways that an advertisement can showcase a man is by perceiving them as “heterosexual” (Bordo, 145) and a stereotypical burly man. When males are perceived as manly men in an advertisement it appeases to a more homophobic group of people. Bordo believes that it should be just as accepted in todays culture for men to be the center of sexual and risky ads just like it is for women.…

    This Paco Rabanne advertisement is to promote the male fragrance 1 Million. They have very obviously decided to use the female model to attract the attention of their desired audience (men aged 18-30, when usually men are career driven, and open to a relationship). They have used scopophilia to do so effectively, they have done this by using an idealistic woman physically: thin, revealing dress, toned body, cleavage which gives the idea that the model is sexually active and connotes to the audience that if they were to purchase and wear this fragrance, women like the model would desire them too.…
