Advert Analysis

Companies such as Persil and Barnados use adverts for multiple reasons but their main aim is to make the company more widely know, throughout this essay I will be comparing how two different adverts, from two different companies do this.

The language used in the Persil advert is hyperbole as it is very exaggerated as it is referring to the baby as a ‘terrifying tiger’. The first half of the text is in a dark and bold colour whereas the other half (‘all with delicate skin’) is in a lighter colour this is to emphasis that that the baby can still have delicate skin even when he is so mischievous and active and gets stains in his clothes. This also matches the text at the bottom of the advert where ‘tough on stains’ is in a dark colour. This is in contrast to the other part of the text ‘sensitive on skin’ this on a whole emphasises that Persil is tough at cleaning but still is gentle to skin so that the baby can still be a ‘terrifying tiger cat’ without having irritated skin.

The copy on the Barnados advert is ‘there are no silver spoons for children born in to poverty’. The word silver spoon is higher up on the page than poverty, which is separated by a gap to show that children and babies born in to poverty are on a completely different level from Silver spoons, which is a phrase usually, associated with upper class people.

The graphics shown on the graphics advert show a baby reaching out, smiling, and showing that the baby is not agitated or uncomfortable in any way. The trees in the background show links to the text ‘terrifying tiger’ as this might show that the baby is in an environment, which link s to the text when the baby is referred to as a ‘tiger’. However, this could also match the fact that Persil is gentle to skin in addition it, shows that Persil is natural and kind to skin.

The Persil advert also has a small image of the brand in the bottom corner however, it immediately draws your eyes to it as it the most colourful

    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…

    First screen shows the words Jennifer Garner for Neutrogena in all gray. This commercial stars Jennifer Garner who is wearing a white blouse and in the background is an all white room. Jennifer starts off by asking “Does your moisturizer protect your face Against (in blue) the environment?” There is guitar music in the background. She mentions the things on the environment that can affect your skin like the sun, pollution (picture of a city), cold (trees covered in snow), wind (tree blowing in the wind) and indoor heat (heating vent). “Introducing Neutrogena Multi-defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 15” (shows bottle) Bottle is white with a gray lid the word are all gray except Multi-defense that’s blue. The background turns blue with the bottle and lines pointing to - “Fortified with Anti-Pollutants + Anti-Oxidants + Vitamins C&E”. “It delivers hydration and daily protection.” The background turns back to the white room with Jennifer smiling saying “For healthy looking beautiful skin.” The end scene is the white room with the Neutrogena bottle sitting next to the works “NEW Neutrogena Multi-Defense Daily Moisturizer Developed with Dermatologist.”(The works all in gray.) This used the famous person appeal because it used Jennifer Garner. I believe it is effective because it tells the audience a way to help them deal with everyday skin problems and everyone wants that. I watched this on Animal Planet.…

    Advertisements these days use many different techniques in order to sell a product. The Old Spice Company uses several methods to convey a message and sell their product. Old Spice commercials are well known for using the famous Isaiah Mustafa, wrapped in just a towel, to talk about the company’s product. While Mustafa walks and talks, the background and setting of the commercial changes and the actor never loses eye contact. The product is always shown throughout the entire commercial. By combining all the elements of gender stereotyping, sexual imagery, and racial innuendoes, Old Spice is able to convey a message to sell their hygienic products.…

    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…

    The commercial takes itself on a personal level with the use of some words. Sarah McLachlan uses the words, “There is an animal that needs you” which in fact is decent technique because she, apparently, is talking directly to whoever is watching the commercial. With not just saying it more simply that animals need help, she proves her stance and makes it more personal to gain the attention of individuals with probably better…

    This is a 2006 advertising campaign of Keri new skin-care product, Keri Nourishing Shea Butter lotion. It is a remake and reproduction of a well-known painting “La Grande Odalisque” by French artist Jean-August-Dominique Ingres. The written message states this “experience the timeless beauty of being a woman with Keri Shea Butter. Enriched with nourishing Vitamin E, it makes skin feel truly touchable”. It seemingly means that this new product can help improve the consumer’s skin performance. But indeed, this ad contains intended meanings which include symbolic properties and commodity fetishism.…

    Animals which are used in advertisements usually don’t have any or much relevance to the products being advertised. An example of this is the adverts for Dulux Paint, which uses an Old English Sheep dog in their adverts. They have used this breed of dog in their adverts since 1961 because this breed of dog has been used for so many years people associate it with the Dulux Company. The adverts catch people’s attention and as the dog has no relevance to paint products and therefore people will discuss the adverts. Another example of animals having no relevance to the product in which they are being advertised is the Andrex adverts, they use Labrador puppies in their adverts for toilet paper. When the adverts first came out, Golden Labrador puppies became extremely in demand. However some of the people who were buying the puppies had done little to no research about the dog. The appeal of owning a Labrador was having a small, cute dog. However many owners didn’t realise the size that they would grow to, many owners then re-homed them as they grew larger.…

    World Wildlife Fund Ad

    • 1493 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The most prominent idea shown in the advertisement is family, and they do this through connecting the viewers to the image through the sentence that the World Wildlife Foundation mascot says which is, “Imagine this is yours.” This text is in what looks like a Times New Roman font that does not stick out from the advertisement, but the diction used makes a huge impact on the viewer. Instead of using a figure of an actual tiger, it is being personified by using a little caucasian girl that is about five years of age as the figure presents. If the advertisement had used a regular tiger cub the emotions drawn out from it would be from those who think little baby cubs are cute animals, but by switching it to be a child that looks like a tiger cub you get the emotions not only from those who love tigers, but you also get it from those who believe family is very important. They want to emphasize the idea that everyone, including tigers, have families and neither people nor animals want their cubs or children to be gunned down by a greedy poacher trying to make money by breaking the law. This advertisement makes the viewer think of themselves as being a tiger, and makes them think of what it would be like to lose a child…

    In this essay I have chosen to compare two adverts. I chose two from a magazine called ‘VOGUE ', I chose them as they both were linked by the theme of fashion but were advertising different products, this will help me show differences between the adverts but the fashion theme will help me to also highlight similarities. The first advert I chose was by a company called ‘Garrard ' they make fashion accessories such as leather accessories, silverware and also jewellery which is what they are mainly known for. The advert I chose has specifically advertised jewellery in this case a ring and a necklace. On face value the advert has a ring and a necklace laid on a picture of a of the U.K flag. Part of both pieces of jewellery look like wings and they are put into position so that the flag looks as though it has wings. The words rock hard are also on the flag this is a 'Garrard ' logo which is also used on the website. At the bottom of the advert is the address of ‘Garrard ' shops, the website address and the ‘Garrard ' logo in bold letters. The second advert I have chose is by a designer called ‘Yves Saint Laurent ' or ‘YSL ', this company is known mainly for its perfume and clothes. This advert is advertising a new perfume fragrance however there are six people in the advert who are wearing YSL clothes but the advert is not specifically advertising them. On face value the advert is focusing on a woman surrounded by men the men are in suits and the woman is In a white dress at the bottom of the advert is the ‘Yves Saint Laurent ' logo and above this is the word Cinema which is the name of the fragrance.

    The first notable detail of the advertisement is the black and white color display. The top-left portion of the ad contains the text message as follows: “HOW TO DESTROY CANADA’S ANCIENT BOREAL FOREST, IN 3 EASY STEPS:” it continues in a slightly smaller font, “STEP 1: PULL OUT A KLEENEX FACIAL TISSUE. STEP 2: PUT IT TO YOUR NOSE. STEP 3: BLOW.” To the right of the 3-step statement, lies an image of a Kleenex tissue box. Stacks of numerous logs and dead trees make up the picture on the side of the box. The bottom-left section of the advertisement accommodates a short paragraph of factual information in a small, black font: “Canada’s ancient Boreal forest, essential in the fight against global warming and home to woodland caribou and billions of migratory birds, is being clearcut to…
