...Tori Williams ENGL 102 September 9, 2013 Opoku-Agyemang Animal Cruelty Advertisement Analysis The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has an effective strategy of promoting an end to animal cruelty by using heart-breaking visuals and persuasive rhetorical appeals and therefore is a more convincing advertisement than any other. The Vegan Outreach advertisement, which is a smaller organization than the ASPCA, also promotes the well-being of animals, but does not quite compare to the ASPCA’s advertisements. The ASPCA advertisements are more effective than the Vegan Outreach’s because they apply the ethos and pathos tactics more adequately. The ethos tactic is demonstrated by using a well-known famous artist named Sara McLaughlin. Although she is most famous for her music, she is also known for her extreme love for animals. Her passion for animals aids trust and promotes more affection within the audience. Not only does it create a bond between her and the listeners, but it also catches their eye. Her fame is an attention grabber because it inspires people to want to be like her. The ASPCA advertisement is also highly effective because it employs the pathos appeal of empathy by providing heart-touching visuals of abused animals. The visuals of the suffering pets are so intense that it produces a lingering feeling of sorrow and sadness that almost torments one’s thoughts and conscience throughout the day. The graphics are meant to stick in the...

One will examine the advertisement in terms of their status as signs, whose subordinate meanings not only give an impression that is positive to the product, but will also be compatible with, and harmonizing to the feminine context in which they were situated.

...In today’s fast-paced world, media texts such as advertisements aim to convey meaning with a single glance. Through using tools such as semiology, rhetorical, genre and narrative, this can be achieved, meaning that messages on advertisement can be easily understood with a quick glance. (Mick, 1986, p. 196) The combination of different signs allows messages to be conveyed through print advertisements. These tools allows brands and products to sell to the consumers. As we are now in the era of glance. Through using clever tools such as philosophical theory of signs and symbols, rhetorical, genre and narrative, this can be achieved, meaning that messages on adverts can successfully get their message more sophisticated advertisement, majority of the advertisements no longer contains much written messages and instead is reliant on using signs to produce an anchored meaning. Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product. One way that is used the most and is in some ways very controversial is use of sex to sell products. The advertisement I have chosen is from Belvedere of which was posted on their Facebook page on March 2012. The target audience is both males and females in their late teens to mid-twenties. The alcoholic beverages industry is increasingly globalised, with...

...ECON 344/ARBUS 301 Individual Submission Magazine Advertisement Analysis Publication - Men's Health Magazine Men's Health Magazine is a very successful publication that holds a strong grip in its market. The target segment that Men's Health focuses on is the single young and middle aged male adults, who are health and body conscious. In the past this would be a small market, but in the current trend of workout videos, such as P90X, rise of UFC fighting, and increased popularity in gyms, it has now expanded to becoming a very large and profitable market. One major strategy that the magazine focuses on is emphasizing and creating an atmosphere of manliness in every article/issue it writes. It does this by promoting ideas and keywords such as muscle gain, sex, fights, and work out to appeal to its main core audience. By doing this they are even able to make something such as eating salads, watching calories, or coping with stress/emotion interesting to its readers, similar to the strategy that Coke did with its Coke Zero brand. This creates an environment that is highly appealing to the magazine's target, men, creating something that they will turn back to time after time for advice, information, and even products related to them. Another major strategy that this magazine focuses on is creating a premium product and that would be viewed as a high end quality magazine. It does this in two ways by (1) setting a higher price than competitors and (2) having high end key...

...students Advertising Changes Advertisements are carefully designed so that each element helps sell a product. For example, a 1952 Maybelline makeup advertisement and a 2009 Max Factor makeup advertisement both used specific elements in ways designed to reach their audiences. The 1952 advertisement and the 2009 advertisement attempted to reach differing audiences through the use of text, positioning, and models. The 1952 advertisement contains a small text, a before and after picture of a female model, and a large headline. The small text shows that people, in this case women, liked to find out for themselves what was being advertised through reading. The before and after picture of the female model the advertisement has is much bigger than the text. This lets us know that people might have liked to be informed through pictures as well, meaning they liked to see the differences the products being advertised made. The 2009 advertisement displays a slightly larger text than the one of 1952, a picture of female model wearing the makeup being advertised, and a large headline too. Due to the text being slightly larger than the one of 1952, we can see that people from nowadays still enjoy reading. The makeup being worn by the models hasn’t changed, women still like to see what the product looks like being worn. The picture of the female model in the 1952 advertisement is very simple and placed as the background of the advertisement. The model is just looking...

...Curaprox presents an advertisement designed to inform people of the link between bad dental hygiene and heart problems. Upon a tan background, an image of an anatomical heart is highlighted. However, this is no ordinary anatomically correct heart with veins and red tissue, this heart consists of teeth. The teeth are mostly white and healthy-looking but, towards the middle the teeth become more dark and decaying. The only color on this page that is not of a monochromatic color scheme, is the blue Curaprox logo. Due to the multimodal nature of this advertisement, there is one tagline as well as an informative caption. The tagline reads in bold, capital letters, “Take care of your teeth before they take care of your heart.” The caption, in order...

...This ad for ZzzQuil, from the makers of NyQuil, is from the July 2014 edition of Good Housekeeping. The ad features a man sleeping in a bed. He has a blanket over him, and the window is open. The moon appears in the background of the night sky. The lights in the man’s room are off, indicated by the lamp that is not providing light. The bottom of the ad has a purple background with small white spots. There is a picture of a bottle and box of ZzzQuil, with white lettering under it that says, “Sleep like a rock”. There is also lettering under the quote that says, “The non-habit forming sleep-aid from the makers of NyQuil. Sleep easily. Sleep soundly. And wake refreshed”. I believe that this ad is effective. It uses four persuasive elements which are ethos, pathos, logos, and the audience that they are presenting it to. The ad uses unique lighting and layout to make the context of the ad more effective. First off, the man has a grey blanket over him, and he looks like he is in the fetal position while he’s sleeping. The lighting in the room, possibly from the moonlight, makes the blanket appear almost white, which really pops out in the dark room. Sleeping in the position he is in makes the man look like a rock, which is logos. If you look like a rock, then you can sleep like a rock. This picture makes the context of the ad very effective. If you can’t sleep because of insomnia or are just having trouble falling asleep, you can go take ZzzQuil and then you can, “Sleep easily. Sleep...

...everyone wants to uphold a certain image, but still wants the luxury of convenience and affordability. Due to the busy schedule that most Americans have, they want to squeeze out as many hours in a day as they possibly can without burning a hole in their pockets. Fast food restaurants may be the best option for those speeding in life’s fast lane, but it does come with a health cost. Health is one of the keys to a longer lifespan, but that health is at risk when you are consuming foods that will result to the leading epidemic of obesity. McDonald’s is America’s number one fast food restaurant notorious for their low prices and convenience. McDonald’s French Fries, Big Macs, and the dollar menu are often the go to for most Americans. This advertisement is intentionally pointing the finger at McDonald’s and correlating them with weight gain. The red box with the word “Weight” inside is a pretty simple...
