Printed Adverts


Lucozade

The advert is for the sports energy drink, Lucozade. Lucozade is a soft drink manufactured by the Japanese company Suntory and marketed as a range of sports and energy drinks. Created as "Glucozade" in the UK in 1927 by a Newcastle pharmacist. It was then acquired by the British pharmaceutical company Beecham's in 1938 and sold as an energy drink for the sick as Lucozade. The company's advertising slogan was "Lucozade aids recovery". In 1989 the Beecham Group merged to form SmithKline Beecham, which in 2000 merged to form GlaxoSmithKline. In September 2013 GlaxoSmithKline sold Lucozade and another soft drink, Ribena, to the Japanese conglomerate Suntory for £1.35 billion. A single Lucozade bottle costs just £1. 

The target audience are children and teenagers that are into sports. Having Gareth Bale as the star of the advert helps appeal to the target audience as he is a key figure in footballing and sports industry and they look up to him. Because the drink is cheap helps appeal to a younger audience as they are able to afford it.

In the advertisement they said it is 'scientifically proven' to try give the young audience an impression that the drink will improve their ability. They have used a tagline 'in a different league', to represent how good Gareth Bale is as a football player but to also give off the impression that the drink will make you a better player. They also follow the colour scheme of the drink with the rest of the advert. As an advert as a whole, the advert is successful as it will get people to buy the drink and it also promotes Gareth Bale too.


Shelter

Image resultShelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help.  

The target audience are adults who can donate to the charity. Shelter have tried to appeal to this audience by using worried faces of people of a similar age to show that someone just like them could need your donation to get their life back on track. 

They have used a lot of copy compared to other advertisements, the main part being the red, bold statements on top of the faces. This part will also appeal to the target audience as it makes them question themselves if they can help. 

The advertisement as a whole is quite simple but works really well, especially with the pale, worried faces with the bright and bold lettering. So overall, the advert is successful as it attracts the attention of the target audience and makes them think more about how they could possibly help others in need.


Old Spice

Image result for smell like a man manOld Spice is a classic men's toiletries brand, that sell aftershave, deodorant and even body wash. Originally, Old Spice advertised their aftershave by using really masculine models and women in swimsuits. But, when their brand was dying out, they decided to go with a more comedic approach to advertisement which suits their now affordable aftershave.

The target audience for Old Spice has changed over time. When their products first came out, they targeted towards more upper class men who wanted to have a manly scent. Now, it is aimed towards older men (30<), usually of lower class. 

Their new advertisements have become quite iconic due to their comedic elements and the big name stars featured in them, such as Terry Crews.  

This printed advertisement is simple yet it works really well because it shows off the product as well as keeping their comedic element they are famous for. Overall, the advert is successful because it won a handful of awards and has kept the brand relevant to this day.

HOW MINECRAFT IS MARKETED DIFFERENTLY - ESSAY

When Minecraft was officially released, marketing was solely based on word of mouth. Due to its never-ending possibilities it became pretty popular. With the help of YouTube, Minecraft has become one of the most popular games as it allowed users to show other fans their creations and how they have used the game. This is also free publicity for Mojang who created Minecraft. Within the game, Mojang have teamed up with other games such as Fallout and Skyrim Elder Scrolls for in game features such as themed worlds and skins. The consumption of Minecraft is large and varied compared to other games. As a user you can play the game first hand, or there are multiple ways to watch and interact through things like Youtube. Youtube allows users to generate their own creative content for other people to view and interact with.  Different versions of the game were released in order to allow people to get what they want out of the game. Narratives in the game include 'story modes', '...

Pitch, Statement of Intent and Mockups

Pitch My aim for my billboard posters in relation to Fairtrade is to try and show the equality within the brand through the posters themselves. I will try and do this by using an outdoor setting, because it has that correlation to nature and represents that natural environment. I believe this will help give a clearer idea to the reader about the link to Fairtrade. This isn't clearly shown in my mock-ups as they are just sample images. The only reason I used these images was to show the similar style of clothing and poses. The two mock-ups have slight differences in layout and fonts and when it comes to the final poster I will decide on the most appropriate style. However, whatever it ends up looking like it will have a clean and simple approach, as I believe it suits the ethos of the company.  Statement of Intent  - For my adverts I intend to have the model as the main focus along with the brand name and slogan, which both have correlations to Fairtrade. With the picture I ...

American Beauty - Scene Analysis

Representation  Lester is represented as a submissive and pathetic person, this is shown through his hunched over posture and the way he always obeys to whatever his wife tells him to do. This is the complete opposite to his wife who is a very loud and tumultuous person. She is seen as the master at the table whereas it would usually be the father of the family. However, she has to be quite caring as she took a lot of time preparing a big meal for her family. Then there is Jane, who seems to be the most collected out of all the family, even though she is stereotypical confused and delusional teenager. Mise En Scene The mise en scene in this scene from American Beauty is used to express the personalities of the family. For instance, Lester is wearing very bland clothes, much like the interior of the house, which shows that his life is boring and repetitive. It could also show that he blends in with the house as if he is not there, which would make sense as he stated at th...
