How much does an advertisement effect your thoughts on a product? This advertisement for McDonald’s fish filet sandwich shows a fish bowl shaped like a square fish filet sandwich. The coloring is all light blue and inside the fish bowl is a bright gold fish. At the top of the advertisement is the words “Filet-O-Fish”, with the McDonalds logo at the bottom.

This example shows that the company believes that Stephen Curry could influence people to buy Under Armor because he is a talented basketball player. When the viewers see Stephen Curry…

My first glance at this ad immediately gave me the impression that it was mainly focused on high fashion, yet tacky eyewear. I noticed the different colors, shapes and sizes, as well as the exaggerated jewel details on them. In this ad there are four different women modeling the eyewear, which represent diversity among the women. The models are all dressed in coordination to match each other, which convey a uniform look. Although the women seem to complement each other well, their job is to…

This could be yours for a limited time only!" and "Don't wait, reduced prices on all of the best!" Advertisements like these constantly bombard the lives of teens.

The Magna Soles advertisement uses a wide array of satirical techniques and claims to get the audiences attention. While most of the stuff the satire says probably helps, it won't help as much as the advertisement claims it will. First, the advertisement starts off by finding something in common such as, “Americans everywhere are clamor ink for the exciting new Magna Soles shoe inserts.” As the commercial was most likely aired in America the majority of people that saw this were most likely…

Over decades, whether a person is at a store, outside, or in the comfort of their own home, someone or something will always be advertising a product to get that person to buy it. Advertisements are found everywhere including billboards, buses, trains, magazines, and mainly through television. Often times we come across smoking advertisements. In these two different smoking advertisements that I have found I realized that these are selling the complete opposite meaning of smoking products. This…

Clarendon went on to do nothing less than set the tone for commercial and editorial printing for the remainder of the century. It also created the related bold standard that still exists today for emphasizing text in design. After a brief lapse in popularity, Clarendon typeface made a comeback in 1935 when Monotype Imaging released their version.
