Fish Face Advertising

Decent Essays
A lot of advertisements are not very successful in catching my attention, although the “Fish Face” advertisement was a little different. Reasons being that the visual it use was very unordinary, the picture made it unclear what it was about without reading further into it, and it made it a personal issue. These are my main reasons this picture caught my attention. To start the image shown in the advertisement is not something that people are use to seeing. It brings attention to what the advertisement is trying to say and makes them wonder what can really happen. Putting a fish like head on a human body, to most, would probably bring a lot of concern. Furthemore the image shows a fish head on a human body people are gonna wonder what that's

    I chose this advertisement to be the worst one I've seen. Not only does this advertisement shame women who have normal and beautiful bodies, but it only sells the body, not the product. Using ¨The Perfect Body¨ as a slogan has nothing to do with bras and other undergarment products. If they had used something like ¨The Perfect Fit¨ that would make much more sense and it won´t body shame. Using ¨The Perfect Fit” would give more value to the product and give a better range of different body types.…
