I see a poster, rather an advertisement of a cereals “Special K” by
Kellogg's. A big image of women which is standing in the
underwear is attracting people’s attention. Firstly, I paid my attention
on the picture of women, and only then started to read an advertisement.
The ad
speaks about an attractive way to lose weight. It consist of a picture and a motto, which looks very encouraging and interesting. Everything is written clearly, and the whole contrast is also
selected very properly. Also there is a data, when products have been completed.
As for the structure, it is easy to notice
the domination of the women on the poster. Undoubtedly, text and the
picture are selected very harmoniously; there are no excesses, just the
main information to inform the reader, and the picture, to attract his
attention. The result of combination of two very incompatible concepts,
like cereal and women in the underwear is quite simple - it will works
independently of whether you are a woman or a man. The idea of comparing
two completely different things looks very smart and appropriate. But
we have to pay attention to a very important detail, that makes
whole ad very ambiguous, the phrase – "Be a Loser" provokes the reader
also as women in the underwear. This device plays here a role of a great
provoker; it induces the reader to find out why and for what this word
is written here. However, the true value of this word here was picked up
greatly. "Loser" is not for a person, who lose the game or don't have a
power, it's for a person, who try to lose the weight.
Analyzing this
poster I have discovered for myself that the key for successful
advertisement is to compare two different things, even if they aren’t
connected with each other. Of course, to find original and unique duo,
requires a great skill. Originally, I thought that this kind of idea can
be useful but now I’m convinced that it is not only appropriate, but
also very effective.
As I said in the previous paragraphs, my reaction
on this advertisement is very positive - I liked the main idea and the
execution was also on the high level, but I think, the motto should be
bigger and needs to be written with different color than the text in the whole
advertisement. In my opinion, people have to see the motto instantly,
because it makes a large part of success.
