How not to do a print ad.

There are plenty of ads out there that people don't like, but there are some you can find looking deeper that make you wonder why someone made this. In terms of the fashion company Sisley, they reached the point where they tried to deny any participation in the making of the ad.

As you can see, the ad clearly promotes the use of drugs, as the women above are pretending to snort the straps of a vest, made to look like cocaine. The ad was used to emphasize how incredible and addictive the clothing designs from the company were. However, the company immediately received bad reviews, and Sisley immediately threw off blame and acted as though they were not responsible for the making of the commercial. In reality; however, I believe they were involved because their excuse, a bored photo-shopper out to make the company look bad, makes no sense to me because the positions of the models and the straps of the dress look all to real to me.

 

Still, I believe the ad could be somewhat successful because, now, everyone is going to want to what this compny is about and what their products really area to get a better feel for why they made this commercial.

Geting Away

Have you ever just needed to get away from it all; get into your own space without the craziness of life. Everyone needs it at some point and their is no better way to do it then listening to Lana Del Rey. She's got the relaxed voice, and being a modern singer, knows more of the issues people face looking into the future. Her song, Ride, is one of those songs.This is one of those songs I could listen to for ten years, the voice and the lyrics make this song great for me. Listening to it you can see how Lana Del Rey talks about stress and how she overcomes it, getting out away from everything and driving, as seen in the lyrics from the song:

 

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I got a war on my mind
So, I just ride, I just ride
I just ride, I just ride

Easily, this line is the most prominent within the song as it is the chorus, but it portrays so much of the song and its point within it. Listening to it helps me to escape from the hecticness of life, and is what I use to fall asleep and get through the fact that I have work the next day, all from school, jobs at home, homework, and helping my family.

 

 

 

McDonalds Traps

Everyone knows the chain, McDonalds, and all the "great" food they produce. But have you ever seen the ads they put out. I'm sure you have, as we are usually disappointed that it doesn't match the picture. But if you look at older ads done by them, you can see how much effort they actual put into making sure you know what you're getting with your purchase, as well as showing all of what's in the sandwich. Thus, they are using facts and figures to make sure you know what's in their sandwich to make you want even more what they have at their restaurants.

As you can see, it is a normal made sandwich without the idea that it will come with so much less or with the idea that it will be sloppily made. As well, they are showing off their healthier ingredients that will attract people who don't know about the grease that's put into these burgers. All this ad is about is their use of ingredients and what is in the sandwich as well as a visual for customers looking thorugh magazines, etc. that come across it, showing viewers the meal and what they are getting.
