The Effectiveness of the Takamine Guitar Advertisement

The Takamine guitar advert can be viewed as an effective piece of

media in an array of different ways. The ways used play on a very

unconventional style, which is not often used for a musical

instrument. For example most guitar advertisements would use such

images as a lead guitarist of a band standing tall whilst making his

guitar scream out whilst he is backed by a huge amp or some such and

the other.

The first thing that this advertising piece has you drawn to is its

picture, although on first sight you can’t actually see what it is

trying to portray as it is a picture of a girl sitting and staring at

a boy who is playing to her in a loving way. This would go well with

the title line “The start of a long and happy relationship” but under

further inspection, there is more of an underlying message in that

phrase.

Viewing this picture under its actual purpose of being a guitar

advertisement, you would notice that as the picture has been doctored

to be seen...

  • Journey To My Past: Responses to Silent Dancing Story

    1927 Words  | 4 Pages

    Many people say, "Do not judge a book by its cover," but the cover of this book drew me into a journey of reading. The line of the letters Silent Dancing is on top; just below that is a picture of a beautiful four-year old girl. Perhaps she lives with a wealthy family; the girl looks so cute and pretty in her dress. Like many other young girls who usually love toys, she is holding a rattlebox; however, she does not pay attention to the toy in her hands. The young girl appears sad because of wide opened eyes that seem interested of what is in front of her. The quiet lips that have no smile make her look shy and older than her time. Why does this young girl have a feature of sadness? This picture seems to suggest that after reading Silent Dancing I should have the proper answer to that question.

    It’s a Girl a girl is a dramatic, gruesome scene where Kee gives birth in this run down room. The room is almost completely dark with a small light illuminating the room only enough to see some of the actors faces and actions. Exposed brick, black mold ruining down the walls broken windows. The camera pans the room while Theo is trying to deliver Kee’s baby as if to not only to show whats happing at all angles but also to bringing more tension to show the horrible conditions she has to deliver her baby in, in that room and the state of the current world. Once the camera finishes panning their bodies it zooms in at a side angel, where Kee’s face slowly moves out of the frame and you have a medium close up of Theos' face and between Kee’s legs.

    The photo has been taken outdoors on a dirt path that is leading to a forest. On the dirt path, there are the three children which make it more pleasing to the eye and also ties the image together. The girl in the middle facing towards the camera is the subject matter this is because she has eye contact with the camera and because of the intense brightness of her dress, which leads you to look straight at her. The middle girl’s hair is left messy even though she is dressed neatly this adds texture and realism to the photo because people can relate and upstand what it feels like, so views now have more of a connection the image.

    I had started off my experience with contemporary art which held me captivated in awe. Numerous paintings had unexpected color combinations and brush strokes that gave the artworks interest. One of the paintings that evoked my curiosity depicted an 18th century maid who sat at a small round table with her head laid between her arms on top of the table. Her face hid between her arms. Something about the woman hiding her face didn't seem right. Her body language set a mood of depression. I wanted to know the look in her eyes; the look that could tell

  • The Appeal of Ads

    When we look at an advertisement, we see what the advertisement company wants use to see in the ad. They have the luxury to cut, paste, and airbrush the photos to their liking and desired look and feel. When we look at ads, we think things and want things based on what we see or what we think we want. Our brains and neglect of reality sell their products for them. They play off human desires and tempt us with images of sexy people and fast cars to sway our view of their product. When we look at photographs, we are strictly confined to the point of view of the photographer. We see what they see and what they want us to see, even if that was not their intention. Photography is a way of distorting reality.
