artistic ability, and intellectual energy spent on advertisements helps us understand the great power of the media and the advertiser's ability to control their viewers. Advertising in today's society is largely based on brand name recognition. It doesn't matter how good the product being sold is, but rather how good the product's advertisements are.

A Look into Calvin Klein’s Advertisements As a seductive young man looks into a camera a raspy voice, off camera, whispers, “You got a real nice look. How old are you? Are you strong? You think you could rip that shirt off? That’s a real nice body. You work out? I can tell.” No, it’s not straight out of a steamy romance novel, though it could be. This is just one example of how provocative Calvin Klein’s advertisements have been. Although the ads boosted sales for the Calvin Klein empire

Impulse anti - perspirant advert This advert is very simple, with an eye-catching image of a woman
A Comparison of Two Advertisements The female advert could be aimed at middle aged women. This is because it is not showing a really young person in the mirror such as a teenager, and it looks like someone in their mid-twenties or early thirties. This might make it less appealing to younger people, because it does not have the “fun factor” such as funky designs. The male advert could be targeting an age group between 18 and 30 but older people possibly will be tempted to purchase the product,
other trucks. In addition, loading and unloading people and cargo is made easier when using their truck. The Dodge company makes the claim that their full-size pickup truck is among the best and backs this up with impressive evidence in this advertisement.

trying to attract a younger market. Though both of the advertisements are appealing to slightly different audiences, they both have a fun feel and look about them.

The music also fits in well with the modern futuristic background of the advertisement and design of the car. Most young people want the
Advertisement: Greek Statue and Perfume While flipping through the pages of a fashion magazine, my fingers stop abruptly as my eyes catch an image of a nude man holding a clothed woman. The man has a muscular body and is effortlessly supporting the woman who's body is arched backwards, her arms hang in a swan-like manner.

Alcohol Advertising: The Cause of Underage Drinking? The question, “Is alcohol advertising the cause of underage drinking?” seems to flow through the minds of many American families. The answer to the question largely depends upon the families view on drinking in general. Some homes encourage drinking every once in a while, for social purposes; while others condemn it all together. The topic is very controversial with several factors weighing in such as religion, family background, and health
Freud’s Perspective of an Advertisement for Clinique Although Freud's theories of psychoanalysis tended to deal exclusively with dreams, his understanding of the unconscious proves to be entirely useful in deconstructing popular culture. We can take, for example, the Clinique advertisement into consideration by viewing the image itself as a public (perhaps collective) and published dream. Freud may not have been particularly interested in the visual features or compostion of the image, yet
An understanding of Vue de l’Exposition Universelle, Paris 1867 “Manet a toujours reconnu le talent là où il se trouve et n’a prétendu ni renverser une ancienne peinture ni en créer une nouvelle.
