Analyse two print adverts. How effective are they in selling their products?
The two products I chose to analyse were ‘Greed’ by Francesco Vezzoli and ‘Roses Collection’ by Dolce and Gabbana. Francesco Vezzoli produced a perfume product aimed at females and Dolce and Gabbana designed a range of lipstick collection. Both adverts could be found in a women’s fashion magazine such as Vogue and Company magazine.
The advert for ‘Greed’ is a high key lit, two shot mid-close up of the famous celebrities, Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams appealing to its target audience of females in their early 20’s to 40’s. The models appear to be looking at each other in a disturbed and vengeful way connoting that the young females are fighting for the perfume. This exaggerates the current ideology in society of competition between females and males. The luxurious high key lighting illuminates the subjects from the interior background creating a more focused yet mysterious setting. The advert is constructed as a movie, as the word ‘starring’ in the centre of the advert implies a scene of action and demand the consumer will experience. The use of female celebrities connects with the target audience significantly because women are eager to look professional and strong as well as attractive and passionate like their idols. The fact that the models are fighting over the perfume ‘Greed’ suggests that it is the key to their beauty and success with men and their hunger for power and glamour.
