Analysing Advertising

Glossary of Techniques

Beauty Appeal: Beauty attracts us; we are drawn to beautiful people, places, and things.

Celebrity Endorsement: Associates product use with a well-known person. By purchasing this product we are led to believe that we will attain characteristics similar to the celebrity.

Compliment the Consumer: Advertisers flatter the consumer who is willing to purchase their product. By purchasing the product the consumer is recognised by the advertisers for making a good decision with their selection.

Escape: Getting away from it all is very appealing; you can imagine adventures you cannot have; the idea of escape is pleasurable.

Intelligence: Associates product with smart people who can’t be fooled.

Lifestyle: Associates product with a particular style of living/way of doing things.

Peer Approval: Associates product use with friendship/acceptance. Advertisers can also use this negatively, to make you worry that you’ll lose friends if you don’t use a certain product.

Rebel: Associates products with behaviours or lifestyles that oppose society’s norms.

Rhetorical Question: This technique poses a question to the consumer that demands a response. A question is asked and the consumer is supposed to answer in such a way that affirms the product’s goodness.

Scientific/Statistical Claim: Provides some sort of scientific proof or experiment, very specific numbers, or an impressive sounding mystery ingredient.

Unfinished Comparison/Claim: Use of phrases such as “Works better in poor driving conditions!” Works better than what?

Now, asking the following questions, we’ll look at a few ads

To whom (which target audience) is the advertisement trying to sell the product? Describe the target audience (age, gender, culture, lifestyle).

Does this ad appeal to your emotions? If so, which emotion(s)?

Are there any signs or symbols in the ad? If so, what are they trying to tell you?

What advertising techniques (from our list) are being used to sell the product? Explain how each technique is being used.

What elements can we see in use – line, tone, shape, space, texture, letterform and colour?

First, let’s look at some historical ads

And ads from today!
