This year’s November issue of Ulta’s monthly magazine, eponymously named Ulta, contained an advertisement for “Sauvage” cologne by Dior. The product is promoted through a combination of abstract concepts and strategies, appealing to a wide audience with contemporary views. This ad is effective because it employs famous-person testimonial, sells a controversial yet upcoming lifestyle, and encourages embracement of individuality. The aesthetics are straightforward, allowing imagery to be the main focal point. The white-lettered “SAUVAGE” against a near-black background grabs attention to the cologne name, while the product itself is shown in the bottom right corner. Underneath the Cologne name is an enticing characterization of the product, …show more content…
From the character persona, to the western setting, the imagery promotes a breaking of the mold in society, and depicts someone with a strong ambition for something more. Johnny Depp is featured as a bit rough around the edges in his tattoos, jewelry, and facial hair. However, as a face for Dior Cologne, Depp is still represented as a valuable and respectable member of society. For instance, this status is represented through expensive clothing, edgy jewelry, Dior cologne, and of course his celebrity status. Additionally Johnny Depp is shown staring off at something he wants to do or get to, despite already being actively engaged in another activity. This image promotes a lifestyle indulgent in luxury, individuality, and a certain …show more content…
It looks as if he had a starting point of a “cookie-cutter” look. It can be inferred that Depp started with a full suit and tie, slicked back hair, and most likely a social setting that completes the perfect depiction of a successful man. However, Depp tosses this character behind and instead he lacks a tie or suit coat, his shirt is slightly unbuttoned, his hair is falling in front of his face, and his sleeves rolled up revealing various tattoos and bangles. He literally unveils his individuality, personifying the “Wild at Heart”
The purpose of this article is to analyze a commercial and to inform about how that commercial was effective. Gray states that the audience of the Hanes underwear commercial is middle-class women, aged 12 and up. I think that the audience of Gray’s essay is also the same, because if men are not particularly interested at a

The author of “The Alchemist”, Paulo Coelho, tells readers in detail what characters look like instead of making them wonder. Understanding what a character looks like can put off a certain motive and effects how the person is portrayed by the reader. “Astride the animal was a horseman dressed completely in black, with a falcon perched on his left shoulder. He wore a turban and his entire face, except for his eyes, was covered with a black kerchief” (Coelho
This standard of beauty is not representative of the female population that this advertisement is aimed at. In addition, every single item of significance is the colour pink. Pink is often associated as being feminine and girly, which is why it seems to be washed over this entire advertisement. Overall, through stereotyping women, the sign system intends to evoke emotion appeal from females. It proposes the belief that following societal expectations of beauty and gender stereotypes will make them more alluring, akin to wearing the perfume. The sign system also evokes the emotional appeal to males and indicates that their ideal partner should be similar to the model, who is a white girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a thin body. In conclusion, after analysing the denotative aspects, many components in the advertisement work together to highlight the core product which is the Oh, Lola! Perfume. Looking at the connotative aspects, the sign system within the advertisement intentionally stereotypes and objectifies
I think that this relates back to the Dandy Lion series in that people are hook on stereotypes about how people are, and how they dress that we can sometimes look pass the idea that this may be a person’s true self and true expression of their self. I also noticed that in this issues he is giving information about himself that also further allow a viewer to think of him in a different light. As far as composition I could see this being in the Dandy Lion series, it would fit well as he has direct eye contact with the viewer, his dress and the playfulness poise and masculine quality to
Johnny Depp was a young boy who made a life for himself starting from the ground and working himself to the top. Today he is a man people look up to, respect, and love to watch. Depp had a complicated life that began at a young age and he continues a strife-filled life today. Although Depp started out as a child in a band, he became an emotionally distraught artist. He overcame that struggle, and became a better person because of it.

The advertisement's rich red coloring immediately strikes a viewer with exciting and salacious overtones. The red lettering, border, cigarette package, and swimsuit all emphasize social and physical pleasure. The other colors' absence only strengthens the red coloring's implications.
“Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned.” ~J.B. Priestley sums up the reality of our media today. We are constantly being influenced and affected by advertisements and how we react to them. Advertisements have a great effect on us and how we operate. Advertisements attempt to control what we should wear, how we should look, what we should eat, what we should do, how we should think, and how we should smell. This magazine advertisement is very convincing of what type of perfume we should wear. “Moschino Couture!” uses an attractive woman, simplistic layout and sample perfume to sell us the product we all yearn for.
This paper will analyze an ATT commercial according to audience, purpose, context, ethics, and stance. The focus will emphasize the audience which the aid is trying to reach and how they do so.
Alcohol is a product that tends to be advertised by sex appeal and social class, although these specific ads factor these components in, they mainly focus on one gender and its superiority over the other. In this day and age, advertisement takes more than a simple "leave it Beaver" appeal; it takes something that will catch your eyes while flipping through the pages of a magazine or through channels on TV. The whole point of ads is to get you to identify with the characters or their actions, either by having the same characteristics or wanting to. Advertisement has actually gone a step further, now it is okay to be chauvinist and arrogant, even worse, it is accepted and found humorous among society. However, it gets the job done, and that's all that matters. Sadly, I too found it appealing, and it stuck to my brain like tree molasses. How did a simple ad affect me so? By using the sick, yet truthful mental thinking of men and women. One ad I chose came from a women's magazine, and it was strictly directed towards women, the other ad was from a men's magazine and, again, was strictly directed towards men. I chose these two similar alcohol ads to compare and contrast simply because they use the same methods, but at the same time, they are on a totally different level. The layout is different, the targeted audience is opposite from the other, yet the appeal is similar.
Dove is a personal care trademark that has continually been linked with beauty and building up confidence and self-assurance amongst women. Now, it has taken steps further by impending with a new advertising strategy; fighting adverse advertising. And by that it means contesting all the ads that in some way proliferate the bodily insufficiencies which exits inside women. Launched by Dove, the campaign spins round an application called the Dove Ad Makeover which is part of the global Dove “Campaign for Real Beauty” what has been continuing ever since 2004 and times print, television, digital and outdoor advertising. As Leech (1996) believed,” commercial consumer advertising seems to be the most frequently used way of advertising.” In which way the seller’s chief goal is to sway their possible spectators and attempt and change their opinions, ideals and interests in the drive of resounding them that the produce they are posing has a touch that customer wants that will also be in their advantage, therefore generating false desires in the user’s mind. Dove is vexing to influence their viewers to purchase products they wouldn’t usually buy by “creating desires that previously did not exist.”(Dyer, 1982:6)
The commercial observed in this essay is the first of a series of Old Spice commercials. Old Spice is a brand of deodorant and body wash – other male hygiene products as well – that came to the public’s attention via the comical advertisement methods they used. Instead of going to stereotypical way and sexualizing females for their advertisement purposes – presumably a tactic that would work better, considering who their audience is – they went the route of using a sexually appealing male to attempt to sell their product. The commercial uses Ethos, Pathos and Logos in the form of irony to sell their product in an appealing fashion to their audience.
