Through this ad, Calvin Klein is trying to convince the audiences that they can experience such intense happiness after using Euphoria from Calvin Klein

4. BLATANT SEX

5. This is a print ad from Skyy Vodka. I picked this ad because I thought this is a pretty disturbing advertisement. Sex in advertising is somewhat very common. But sex with vodka bottle is something. This ad literally shows from the thighs down, a woman in red tights and heels appearing to have sex with a giant vodka bottle. I am pretty sure that this ad must have generated marketing buzz for the product!

6. VIOLENCE

7. This is a print ad from Maybelline New York It is a two page print ad. I picked this ad right when I saw the tag line, “Renew Your Love Affair with Red”. I thought that is a pretty catchy phrase. In a way I feel like this ad tries to convince the audiences that they have the freedom to do what they want. If their current state is not satisfying, they should try to renew their love affair” An interesting way of selling lips product!

13. This is a print ad from ALTOIDS. I really like this ad. I thought the message was well-delivered with 3 words: “What Language Barrier?” The ad tries to convince the audiences that ALTOIDS can overcome their fear on bad breath. They don’t have to worry about bad breath, as long as they take ALTOIDS. There won’t be any other language barrier.

14. SAVE MONEY

15. This is a print ad from Expedia. With the tagline, “Vegas is a lot more fun when you can afford to leave the room”, Expedia tries to convince its audiences that they can save money through Expedia. The smiling face from the ad shows how Expedia provides fun with affordable price.

20. HUMOR

21. This is a funny print ad from Axe. I thought the tagline is very eye-catching: “Clean your balls. No matter what shape they are” The tagline is funny and I guess can be easily remembered by the audiences, despite that the ad has no exact relationship with the product. Well, it’s a shower gel. I guess when people read the tag they will be curious about what is this product all about.

22. YOUTH

29. This is a print ad from Gatorade Energy Drink Peyton Manning, a famous football player is endorsing Gatorade as the first refreshing post game protein drink. The audiences, especially fans of Peyton Manning will be convinced to drink gatorade.
