I even can't imagine our life without advertisements. Print advertising is already not so popular as other types of advertising in our modern digital age, but there is still a need for it. The reason for this is that printed advertisement can interact with the reader. Print ad gives opportunity to enhance an idea and also print can become a work of art. Print has been around for hundreds of years and print will continue to be an important part of our world for years to come. Whether print ad will be effective is largely depends on the audience. Advertising in magazines makes it easier to reach targeted audience. Any printed advertisement has to attract attention of the reader in a flash. Two contemporary ads, one for Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Manufacture watches and another one for Longines Conquest Classic watches, attempt to attract attention. Both of ads are strong, but one of them is most effective than another one. Analysis of advertisements will help to decide which ad is better.

...is less effective for me. “Live your Passion" slogan says follow your dream. So, if man will buy a Frederique Constant watch, he will follow his dreams and passions? I don't think so.

We are all the time surrounded by advertisements. It's obviously that the main purpose of advertisements is to get the consumer to purchase a product. The message within the advertisement has to be persuasive and has to awake certain emotions and feelings in the consumer. Print advertisements are extremely effective in reaching targeted audience.

Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.
Are advertising companies out of control now a days? Do they play on the average Americans fears about certain events in life to sell their products? Do they try to attack events that are one and a million to sell us useless things? Advertising companies use all of those tactics to sell things to the average everyday concerned American. This is especially evident in security systems, new cars, and also in equipment. This aspect of advertising is also apparent in commercials trying to stop Americans from buying things such as cigarettes and drugs. These advertising companies have been very successful in using this tactic to sell their goods.
These ads run in magazines such as Blender, Details, Esquire, FHM, Playboy, Razor, Men's Journal, Skiing and Sports Illustrated. These three ads specifically, were taken out of Maxim, which is a magazine for men of almost every age, from their early teenage years when they start to discover their sexual feelings to the day they die. Inside, you can find pictures of beautiful half naked women, their sexual confessions and tips, articles on cars, stupid jokes, sports and money, but mostly Sex. It satisfies every man's need. It's their perfect dream magazine.
For most companies, advertising can be a costly affair. On the one hand, customers are getting more information about new products, goods and services. While, on the other hand, it has to be effective, noticeable and remembered long enough to make potential customers into actual ones.
