ten graphic/media designs

i'm not sure what this ad is trying to sell because i cant read the fine print but the arrows on the page is what got me to want to know what this is about the red lines keep my eyes moving on the page, which makes me look at the image and text, and the finally the name of the product.
first of all who wouldn't overlook this advertisement. displaying phrases that sound pleasing will get anyones attention. the image in the background give the sense that this is a great job offer because of the relaxing image. they also added the amount of money to draw people into falling for their ad.

i like this graphic advertisement due to the fact that it was kept simple. the name in the center catches my attention and i don't get distracted by other images. advertisers use this technique so that you focus on the name and you remember it
i think it is interesting how advertisers are finding new places to place their ads in hopes of gaining consumers. i think its a neat idea to put ads on the sleeves for coffee cups because it a change from those plain brown ones. i'm sure if someone hand me a coffee cup with a cool sleeve that i would be curious to see whats on it.
at first the image caught my eye because of the man on the advertisement. i think that this image is meant to get the attention of women so that we will buy their product. something that i thought was interesting about this advertisement was that it had the small lines that pointed to the center where the product name is. i thought that was a great way of leading the eye to whats important.
in class we learned about how to layout a magazine and this image caught my eye because it lined the squares up creating an imaginary line that catches our attention. another thing that was great about this was the use of color and its arrangement in a pattern. it kind of reminds me of a checker board.
i really did not like this graphic image due to the fact that it had to many things going on which made it feel too busy. if a fan for subtle graphics with some arrangement to make it feel organized. this image really hurts my eyes just looking at it.

this image of the absolute vodka is interesting due to the fact that they dressed the vodka in jewelery, which makes a silent statement that this type of vodka is for people with class and money. it also expresses that if you drink this you have attitude. the cirlce of light in the background is what makes the image stand out and draws my eye to the product.

the use of these two colors together is becoming really popular in graphic media due to the fact the the colors stand out against each other. the orange in the center of the advertisement is darker than the ones on the edge of the ad, which makes me focus more on whats in the center.






i think that thing thing that caught my attention about this image was the colors used. the blue in the back ground really made the somewhat yellow color of the camel stand out. i suppose another reason i noticed this image was because of the camel which is the well known symbol for the camel cigs. i thought it was interesting how they used the format that cigarette companies always use to catch the attention of a certain group.
