Zesty Italian
Eboni Mighty
“Zesty Italian” In this particular ad, a fairly nice looking gentleman is lying on a blanket, unclothed seemingly to have enjoyed the pleasure of a complete picnic. While eating biscotti and drinking fine Italian wine, the rays of the sun glisten on his sun kissed skin, wow this was certainly enough to capture my attention! The grass is a dark forest green and is perfectly manicured as if just been cut. Red and white printed, the blanket is laid across the grass with this striking gentleman laying on it. He is positioned diagonally across the blanket. His arms are folded back under his head and his muscles are flexing quite nicely. His physique is astonishing and just enough of the blanket is covering his “you know what” as he is stretched across it. There is also a picnic woven basket sitting on this blanket and in it is a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, two wine glasses, and some napkins. Next to the basket are a vine of fresh green grapes and a tray of biscotti. At the top right of the ad the words “silverware optional” are displayed. And what is lying next to the man? A bottle of zesty Italian salad dressing. As I take a moment and gaze at this photo, I suddenly begin to think the idea of a zesty Italian might not be so bad. By putting this naked man as the main focus of this ad and not the actual product; KRAFT is trying to sell you an idea that the zesty Italian salad dressing is as zesty as this naked man. KRAFT does this by making sure the man is good looking, possibly Italian, and has a nice body. To ensure that one will stop and look at this ad the colors are contrasting. Green and red are opposites of each other on the color wheel, therefore putting them next to each other causes immediate attention. The bright green grapes on the blanket have the same effect. Also, the vivid red tomatoes on the biscotti and the red handle on the knife are attention grabbers against that brown trey. The salad dressing bottle is half way on the blanket

    Mix be will taste more orangey because when dividing the concentrate by number of water it would tell you if you will get an orangey taste or not. When you divided the concentrate by water whatever ans you get eg.(0.6 or 0.75) which ever one has a higher value will be most orangey which is (Mix B.) Whereas the least orangey will be Mix A, mix a is in the tenths place but mix be is in the hundredths placed that's why I said mix a is smaller because it has a smaller value. Also if you don't know how to do it while dividing you can also chose fractions. For the fractions all you need to do is turn it into common denominators and solve.…

    The logical appeal (logos) that this advertisement has is perhaps the convenience of the clothing. We can say that the type of clothing they are wearing is good for a warm weather since they aren't wearing too much or it can also be good for going out. From what is seen from this one ad one can argue that the clothing is occasionally appropriate.…

Aveeno’s primary goal is to persuade its audience that Aveeno is the healthy choice and will cause you to have more beautiful skin.

    The technique used in this advertisement is clearly an attention-getter. This big-busted blond is hard to miss and is definitely successful with the intended goal. It is easy to assume this ad specifically targets men with the over-indulged woman as the main focus, but subliminally also targets women with appearance and body image pressure. This advertisement uses the provocative imagery of an unnaturally large-chested woman to represent the societal norms where finding something genuine is uncommon, the way the fries are portrayed, giving an insight to social reality, its construction, and ideology.…

    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…

    Pepsi Rhetorical

    Often times we don’t really think about the things that we see and how they are presented to us. We tend to focus on what is being showed to us rather than how we feel about the certain objects. Many companies and manufacturers use advertisements that will focus on a certain age group and use pictures or facts that people of that age would be interested in. Along with focusing on a particular age group, companies and manufacturers also use rhetoric and Aristotle’s three appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos). One particular advertisement that shows great examples of rhetoric and Aristotle’s three appeals is the advertisement shown to the right. These are the parts of advertisement that we don’t think about when looking to buy something we necessarily weren’t interested in but was brought to our attention.…

    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.…

    Men on Display

    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 bottle looks very refreshing and mouth-watering. The advertisement is split in half on the left there is an all white background. In the middle of the right side there is a couple, male and female on a date. The woman is in front of the man holding a pool stick wearing a silky gold tank top. She is glancing to the side. The man is behind the woman, looking at the viewer of the advertisement. He is wearing a black leather paperboy hat with a white sweater and a grey undershirt. His facial expression is suggesting that he is ‘up to something.’ On the top of the left side there is a phrase “endless opportunities.” This is evidence for the expression on the guy’s face. He is trying to ‘make something happen’ with the woman. The same couple is on the right side of the advertisement, but now the woman is facing the man with her arms around his neck. Now she has a smile from ear to ear. Again the woman is looking to the side and the man is looking at the viewer. This time the male looks more confident. The male has his arms wrapped around her back holding the pool stick. He is no longer wearing his hat or sweater. The background of the right side is a faded blue with a beer and a pool table. Above the couple is there is a phrase “superior…

    When you read this, realize that I could have talked to you about the appalling American Apparel ads, which literally show girls lying in bed with their legs spread open. I had the option of ranting about Dolce and Gabanna, or Calvin Klein or any of these typical “lets have sex” ads. We all know sex sells, and I would only be savagely beating a long-dead horse to devote an entire paper to the ultra-sexualized way in which women are portrayed via submissiveness, insatiable lust, lack of intelligence. The advertising world has already marred so much of the image of women that the occasional positive ad is refreshing to say the least. But this paper is not about sex, so I will curtail my “everything is going to hell” rage that seems to be sprawling its away across this keyboard. No, I will instead focus on Old Spice, and more particularly its “Old Spice Guy” ads, which you will (hopefully) be able to recall with a smile and laugh as I delve into my insightful analysis.…

    On the layout of the advertisement by Tom Ford appears a part of woman’s body. Cutting half of the head off from the top and everything beneath the breast from the bottom it is only possible to see her open mouth with red lipstick and her hands with red nail polish squeezing the breasts together to hold between them the iconic image of a perfume bottle, which is supposed to be the advertised product. The parts of a woman’s body and the fragrance bottle are all components of the advertisement’s signified concept. As Roland Barthes describes in his text “the signifieds of the advertising message are formed a priori by certain attributes of the product and these attributes have to be transmitted as clearly as possible”.…

    Kelloggs vintage ad

    • 941 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the early 1930’s, a well-known cereal brand, Kellogg’s, put out an advertisement for a new product it was producing, vitamins. The ad shows a well-dressed husband standing with his wife, both of whom look happy. The man is wearing a suit, and the woman is dressed to clean with her apron on and hand duster. The ad shows the husband saying, “So the harder a wife works, the cuter she looks." On the bottom right hand side, you see a little comic of the husband and wife again speaking to each other. The husband says, “Gosh, honey, you seem to thrive on cooking, cleaning and dusting and I am all tuckered out by closing time. What’s the answer?” The wife responds, “Vitamins, darling! I always get my vitamins.” This ad is trying to portray the man as hard working and tired, but a woman who, though she is also hard working, isn't tired, and is ready to please her man when he comes home. Kellogg’s is using sex appeal and gender roles to attract its consumers; however, this ad would be ineffective today because of its use of logos, ethos, and pathos.…
