Movie posters are advertisements and are there to “sell” the movie they are promoting, and to make you want to watch it. Movie posters give insight to what the film will be about and introduce the main character or characters. Both Superman origin films have two posters and both are compelling, but in different ways. The first poster for Superman 1978 has got a really simple design; you don’t see Superman on the poster but rather a red streak which could indicate Superman is too fast to see…

I am going to boil mine down to three topics in three different graphic novels. Think you can keep up with that? I think you can keep up with that. The three literary terms I am going to discuss upon are: The idea of framing when it comes to graphic novels, how coloring makes a difference when reading the graphic novel and last, but not least, how image-to-word play a vital part in both of those things mentioned above. The graphic novels in which we are going to talk about those three things…

Commercials are both a literal and figurative selling point for a product. By creating a commercial, consumers are exposed to the product in the way the producers want it to be viewed. Therefore, this allows the producer to create a commercial that has a certain aesthetic that will capture the attention of a certain targeted audience. For the commercial to be successful it needs to connect with the audience in some way, this will make them feel more motivated to buy the product. In 2015, One…

2.2.2 COO as Extrinsic Cue in Brand Evaluation It is important to understand that consumer brand evaluations and associations is the tool which creates brand equity. Consumers are using brands/products country-of-origin as an in-formational hint which helps them in determining quality of the product/service which is of-fered by specific brand (Steenkamp, 1990). According to Olson and Jacoby (1972) there are two types of brand cues: intrinsic and extrinsic. The intrinsic cue reflects performance…

Advertisement is a technique that targets audiences of diverse products. Nearly all products sell because of their advertisements on web ads, TV, radio, and billboards. Both advertisements use unusual marketing promotions method to aim the attention and succeed over their intended audience. Browsing to different magazines I came to two advertisements that caught my attention. The Lacoste spray advertisement is more efficient than the Tommy Hilfiger fragrance ad since the emotions, authority, and…

The Media: Your New Mirror In advertising and social media, body image has now made women more self-conscious of their bodies. Women feel the need to look pretty for the opinion and compliments of society as a whole, not just a few people or a loved one. Advertisements use Photoshop and airbrushing to make a model look perfect. Over time the way society perceives women as beautiful has changed drastically. The most popular looks through the years have been corsets for a tiny waist, womanly…

When advertising, the best information to have is to know who the audience is. Without knowing who to sell the product to, one does not have a proper basis for advertising. Once one knows who they are advertising to, they must know how to approach said audience. An advertisement for little girls would not feature old men golfing and chatting about their rheumatoid arthritis, just as an advertisement against smoking would not involve people happily smoking. Such aspects are counter productive…

Communication, a seemingly very simple word, however, when put into action can be a lot more complex than what we envision it to be. There are classes, books, and websites dedicated to teaching individuals, the proper way to communicate, in correlation to their relationships to each other. Communication in specific areas like business or the health professions are important to make sure things are done correctly so that we do not have to worry about small misunderstandings that could lead to…
