Comparing Dubonnet And London Transport

Decent Essays
At first glance, the similarities between Edward McKnight Kauffer's "Soaring to Success" poster, A.M. Cassandre's "Dubonnet" posters, Man Ray's "London Transport" posters is the use of geometrical shapes found in cubism. The greater connection these posters have is within structure and the composition that each work represented as a whole.

    Jean Kilbourne, the author of “Jesus is a Brand of Jeans”, is a social theorist who has been lecturing for years about advertisment.

    NBB’s televised marketing campaign was executed with a great deal of inner reflection and represented the personality of the company (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). NBB situated itself as considerate, whimsical, and insightful in a barrage of flamboyant, loud beer advertisements that were outwardly designed for a younger demographic (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). The original ad integrated a sense of place, a creative play notion, a symbol for recycling, and images of whimsy and joy that were central to NBB’s philosophy of brewing and quality of life (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). NBB chose to reimagine a market in a customary medium where ads are adequate and the unique ones can be thoughtful, innovative, and effective (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). The original piece launched by NBB was regarded as a success with major market sales increases and the campaign solidified the company’s position in the marketplace and strengthened the brand image (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014).…

Most pieces of artwork, nowadays, have a motive behind them, but in order to convey the motive, the image must be worthy of approval, meaning we as a whole have to be drawn towards it, and because of that reason the creators produce illustrations as something never seen before such as artwork so profound that the audience is drawn to it and are unable to get drive it out of their minds. This is what links the unnatural liveliness in photography with advertisements, especially in America. Instead of creating artwork for purely visual pleasure, it is formed for the subconscious sale of commodities.
