tester print advert

Image
The elements I feel I could have improve upon were the composition of my  model, the image could have been larger to avoid the negative space. Also the colour of her jump clashes with the other colours and my accuracy with the 'quick selection' tool could have been more precise.  I could have not included the bottle in the original image, making it easier to add the bottle in PhotoShop. I do really like the shadowing around my subject as it matches the logo.  I like the simplicity of the poster and the use of the hashtag from the products logo.

Primary Research

Image
From our primary research we discovered that most people use hair gel or hair products in their  hair. On average people spend 10- 15 minutes styling their hair. A majority of our participants use hair gels with natural products such as coconut oil, argan oil etc. Most of the research agrees that hair products are reliable and they live up to their standards. Our participants from both our online and print survey have heard about  Eco styler and Schwarzkopf through friends and family and TV ads.  From our research people would much prefer free samples and In-store advertisements to encourage them to buy hair gel. On that note we have decided as a group to continue further with Schwarzkopf got2b freeze gel.

Drake Sprite: The Spark Tv advert analysis

Image
Drake Sprite Advert Analysis Persuasive methods; The first persuasive is Experts , the 'sprite drink' have used Drake as an representation of the infamous fizzy drink, it shows drake drinking the drink and being motivated to start new music, this attracts the audience's eye as Drake is a well known worldwide artist, and therefore this helps promote the product more and gain more attraction as the audience would be interested in purchasing the drink as Drake showed in the advert that it is a refreshing drink and is his favourite which helps the audience (who see drake as their idol) be more attracted as the actions and what 'idols' drink, wear and do, people love to repeat it so they can be like them.

Heinz Ketchup Advert Analysis.

Heinz ketchup print advert Analysis When you’re having steak or fish and chip you don’t just have it dry, do you? No of course! Especially not when you have the option of adding a tasty good old heinz ketchup.   The point of focus is the bottle of ketchup and that fact the bottle made out of the main ingredient that is in ketchup makes it more interesting  to look at for audience, instead of a boring bottle of heinz ketchup that lack creativity. In terms of composition the placement of the product is centered and the typography/slogan is below the ketchup, by looking at the creative heinz ketchup bottle the audience can easily see the logo. Regarding the light in the advert it is shined on to the product to give it a light beam effect from the right with a shadow underneath to uplift the product and give it a lot of attention to the audience. The colour of the bottle is a juxtaposition to the typography as the background is red and the writing is in w...

Coke Zero Advert Analysis

Image
 Coke Zero Advert Analysis Coca cola is a well-known brand, not only in the UK but all over the world. For that reason, the logo has become a universal symbol so when a Coca-Cola advert comes on we all know that it is Coke. Shot type/angle The shot type used in this advert is a wide shot, the reason being is so that the audience can see the surroundings, to make the audience feel as though they are there. The angle is slightly low and because the musician is looking down navigates the audience’s eye to the guitar and then from the guitar to the Coke bottle. Composition/Focus In terms of composition, the fact that they put it on the top left side of the screen so whenever your eyes drift away from the man in the shot, your eyes will be drawn back to the logo. The bottle being more prominent catches your eye more. The fact that they’ve used high depth of field to make the model blurry makes the bottle more prominent also. Lighting Shooting in a dark envi...
