Why Do People Use Logos

Decent Essays
This is an ad that attempts to play on Pathos but would have most people using Logos. A person with body image, self-esteem, and/or drug issues may feel that a person in that condition would be someone to admire. Also, this does set an image for the younger crowds, reflecting this publisher’s opinion on the standard of beautiful. However, to any person with any sense of concern for their health, they would see an image of a person who is severely underweight and emaciated. Any way a person could accomplish this look is not healthy.

    Advertisements are always full of propaganda, that's how they try to get you to buy their product. They bend the truth, or try to make things seems appealing. This is never more true than in the cigarette ads of the mid 1900’s. At first glance you can already see how things are warped, simply because we were taught better, but back then they didn’t know. It wasn’t until these ads were outlawed in some places that we began to see how false they really were.…

    “Black and Blue or White and Gold?” Sometimes our perception of things is affected by what we choose to see. For my rhetorical analysis, I will be focusing on is the advertisement above by CareHaven and The Salvation Army. This advertisement is depicting a woman that has supposedly been in an abusive relationship or been recently abused, and she is wearing the illusive “dress”, that swept the internet, with the dress’ true colors being an illusion; sometimes appearing black-and-blue, or white-and-gold.…

    Advertisements are all around us, they have become part of our everyday life. This makes it easier to not pay any attention to them. Since we really are not paying attention to advertisements, it makes the companies who make these ads work harder to get our attention. I have compared two advertisements, although both advertisements are not selling the same, or even similar products, I believe the way they are relaying the message is something they have in common.…

    The image of Jennifer Aniston in her grey tank top standing outside in the daylight shows her looking happy, radiant and approachable. The advertisers targeted the emotions of women with skin insecurities by placing the words “beautiful” and “healthier” in the ad. They also proportion Jennifer Aniston larger than anything else in the ad to show consumers how healthy her skin looks. It makes consumers envious seeing her perfect skin and in turn it touches their emotions. Emotions are very important to consumers and a critical part of their decision making.…

    Science World's use of creativity in their advertisements and the one-liners have really drawn me in. I have always been a fan of both creativity, as well as getting straight to the point -- Science World offers both of those things up to me with their advertisements alone. I find it fascinating that they have put such effort into their advertisements alone, seeing as a lot of the ads look as if they could be part of the museum itself! I think the marketing strategy they have taken on is pure genius, and really creates some competition for other museums promoting that science and learning are fun (they totally are).…

    The pathos in this advertisement are very important because there are very few words in the advertisement so you mostly have to go off emotions. Most women who would see this advertisement would just see the abused women with the man lurking in the background getting ready to bribe the women with nice things and automatically feel like women are being undermined as usual and sympathy for what the women is going through. The advertisement also holds ethos in it, some men who look at the expertly dressed man might feel empowerment towards this advertisement. A man who looks at the man in the advertisement might like the…
