Covergirl’s advertisers display color symbolism, a type of graphical design, in the ad so consumers associate positive notions with the Natureluxe products. Creative glossary defines color symbolism as a “meaning associated with that of a certain color” with the meaning “depending on the context and culture it is used in”(). Covergirl’s advertisers utilize this tactic with copious amounts of green. Green is present in the background, the product packaging, the title, and Swift’s clothes. The covergirl advertisers creates a brand for their product with the abundant amount of green. The abundance of green makes Consumers automatically associate nature and it’s olive color tone gives consumers a sense of “peacefulness”. Advertisers manipulate what consumers perceive the product because of the color. The …show more content…
The color red, despite its limited use, adds boldness and contrast to the green make it stand out. advertisers chose a red lipstick from the many in the cosmetic line because it adds a contrast to the green “natural” theme. It also enhances the luxury theme going on with product’s ad. The color red means “desire” it is an attractive and bold color. Color plays into the pathos side of the advertisement. It has an effect on consumers emotions. The audience may jump to conclusions that the product is made with natural and high quality products. They would think this because color symbolism acts as an emotional appeal. Consumers immediately jump to the conclusion that Covergirl's Natureluxe products must be made of natural ingredients. Everything that the advertisers do is to make the products appear better that it actually is. Though nowhere is it stated in the ad that the makeup is made with high quality, all-natural ingredients, the color sends a false subliminal message that it is. Advertiser's heavily influence consumer’s perspectives so that they are more likely to buy the product. It ties in with the product, helps make it feel “natural”
...e commercial was that this was one of life’s finer pleasures”(Gladwell 33). And that’s exactly what people thought when they watched the commercial; the businessmen and the Rolls’ -Royce drew them in. In True Colors a company by the name of L’Oreal was a competitor of Clairol. They wanted women to know that they were “worth it”( Gladwell 98). L’Oreal introduced the new idea of what women wanted to hear. The two companies knew that they needed feminists to spread their product and advertise it. And that is why True Colors is different from the Ketchup Connudrum because True Colors needed businesswomen unlike in Ketchup Connundrum who needs businessmen. This helped to distinguish femininity and masculinity in these gendered advertisements. Both stories have many comparisons and difference; overall they capture exactly what Malcolm Gladwell wanted the readers to see.
This advertisement uses a combination of star power and a simple color scheme to draw viewers in. Most people know who Kim Kardashian is and by showing her having fun, the viewer subconsciously links that to the fun they would have. The black and white shades are all bland when compared to the green color of the bottle, the drink, and Kim's dress. By using the natural color of the drink to show off Kim's dress in the middle of the crowd, tells the viewer that by drinking this liqueur, they will also stand
A vast majority of this ad is in black and white. The Psychology of Color says that black is a powerful color and with the black and white the producers are giving an authoritative tone to the woman. With no colors, the image is simplified, giving a wide range of ways it could be taken. There is only one hint of color in the ad, which can sometimes be indicated as the most important piece; the pink, the tribute to our femininity. Just like in Haley’s chosen ad in the [Re]Writing, this image is in black and white with pink writing. “By using the ‘girly’ colors that symbolize love and passion with the negativity associated statement, [the thunder thighs] it suggest that women should love their bodies,” Sarah Haley, page 108. Pink is a prime component of all Playtex ads, it is meant to salute our feminine side. With the new liners it is advertised that our tough, athletic side can also be praised, giving a best of both worlds kind of image. Even the box of this product is meant to stand out and promote our love with our bodies, with an emphasis in pink and yellow. Yellow is known to advance from surrounding colors and install optimism and energy, and pink is bright, sensual, and passionate. A wrap of all these colors, the black and white image, and the pink and yellow box and writing, it can be inferred that we should be happy with our
Visual advertisement has become an important method used by companies or organizations to persuade their intended audience to ‘buy this’ or ‘act now’, but the creators of these ads take time to create a deeper, more underlying meaning of the ad. The creators use colors, symbols, pictures, and anything they can think of that could be used to annunciate their call to action. One ad that certainly uses plenty of symbols to get its point across is called Tick Tock, Drip Drop. The ad is a public service announcement created by Ferdi Rizkiyanto which describes the negative effect of global warming. The advertisement is effective in developing its argument by keeping the viewer attracted, referring to the ideas of an hourglass and its imagery, and giving emotional appeal as to what is happening to the environment.
and gender. It is apparent that from these two ads, Covergirl changed their advertising strategy to adapt to this change in fashion and beauty. “Over time the way woman apply their make up on has changed”. In the 1960’s woman wore little to no makeup with the main thing being lipstick or blush, but in 2018 you have woman that wear eyeliner, fancy eyeshadow and do a lot of “contour”, it completely changes the way woman view themselves.
...ct for their customers and spends even more on their marketing techniques. Covergirl cosmetics has changed a lot through the years, but it was all for the better. The company which was once owned by Noxell is now owned by the very famous company, Procter and Gamble (Niti, 2014). Covergirl cosmetics does not provide any personal makeup consultant, which can be a let-down for their customers, but they do provide many options on their website. There are many factors which contribute to bringing in the customers, such as the company provides a variety of products at decent prices, they use many marketing schemes such as using celebrities and the company uses models with different racial backgrounds (see fig. 2-3). Covergirl has risen to the top and has left its mark in the cosmetics industry and made the world a little more “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful”.
I have examined and analyzed the COVERGIRL™ NatureLuxe advertisement that uses common feminine stereotypes. In this advertisement, COVERGIRL™, which runs in Seventeen magazines, targets women through their choices of colors, fonts, and images used. Certain stereotypes are used; such as, those who are more feminine tend to prefer lighter, happier colors, such as pink. Also, the use of a celebrity, who many young women look to as an icon, assists in the advertisement of the COVERGIRL™ product. COVERGIRL™, more than likely, is able to successfully market their lip-gloss product in the United States by using common gender stereotypes to show femininity and how those, mainly women, should be presented in today’s society.
...flect the colors that are trending in today's culture. Overall, the blurred background persuades young women who want to feel good just as much as the woman in the advertisement.
To be efficient, it must correspond to products and be relevant to people, expressing and sustaining competitive advantages. My image appears in Glamour, a specialized publication for women, where the cultural context is gender, thus providing a greater degree of authority and the intention is to promote the reputation and sales of the perfume. The image is a collection of signs, these signs may include paradigmatic and systematic elements such as the name of the perfume, the fonts used, the colors or the woman which appears with a green apple in her hand. ‘The goal of semiotics in the study of advertising is, ultimately, to unmask the arrays of hidden meanings in the underlying level, which form what can be called signification systems’ (Beasley et.all, 2002: 20). It is obvious that in the interpretation of an image controversies can arise and the meaning could be different from person to person due to the cultural level or ways of image analysis, because the reader approaches an image from a personal ideological perspective.
...s for yourself. With the dark, liquor bottles in the background it suggests to the viewer that they should accept the temptation and not choose the milk. The milk, being the only white object in the advertisement is chosen by the woman and will influence the viewers by the vibrant white color of the milk. The colors used in this advertisement try to influence and tempt the viewer into picking what is bad for them, but because of the bold, white color of the milk viewers are not mistaken.
This advertisement doesn’t have a conventional back ground. In order to draw more attention to the man and the woman, the marketers blacked out everything else. The ad incorporates logic (logos) in to the design of the background and coloring. Men find black and white more appealing; men respond to patterns and contrasts, while woman respond more to colors. The only thing in color, is the product in the bottom right corner, this allows the product to stand out while not over powering the image of the man and the woman. Also, not having a defined back ground, allows the viewer to make up their own scenarios for what is going on between the man and the woman, which deals with the imagination and emotions of the viewer.
Upon first glance, people may raise questions when noticing the quality, the ad portrays as well as the possible popularity of the event the advertised event may hold. The warm colors mixed throughout the ad can bring a sense of comfort for the observers to feel when they first see i...
The advert is for a new product called ‘WOMAN’ that they are adding to their line of fragrances. The first thing that is noticed about this advert is the colour. It is very contrasting with the black and white, and gives a big impact to the audience. The white usually signifies innocence but with the black background it’s suggesting hidden depths, like a wild side that you could have. The model’s look is very confident, like she can get
The media favors one women's body type; the tall blonde with perfect, tan skin and long, beautiful hair. Because the images of women in advertisements are unattainable, it keeps them purchasing new products in their quest to be like the models they see (Moore). The actual women in these advertisements can't even match up to the
I chose a magazine ad about a product I use, Jimmy Choo perfume. In this ad there is a model sitting on a couch with an appealing dress on and the perfume bottle is by her side. Jimmy Choo is iconic luxury lifestyle brand defined as an empowered sense of glamour. The model looks glamorous in this ad dressed high fashioned, and she is representing the product how Jimmy Choo imagines everyone using their product is supposed to look. Sporty women compared to high class conservative women probably do not have the same taste in perfume, as would a teenager compared to a 50-year old women. Jimmy Choo sells everything from perfume to shoes, the name itself on the product draws attention to women. Name brand things are important to fashion now, it all ties into why you should use the product, why you should spend the money on the product, and is this product one of the “in” things now. Call them materialistic or not, advertisers...
