Sample Advertisements

The first ad I chose was Visa. I chose this ad because I believe the hook is the midriff, and the exposed tattoo. I don't think I would know what the ad was about if the logo and the card wasn't present. I guess using Visa to get a tattoo is a vice, hence the baby devil tattoo. This ad is definitely targeted for the younger generation, since tattoos is one of the things people spend their money on. I can see this ad being used is a magazine for people who are into tattoos, but I can't see it in Good Housekeeping. If the tattoo was in a different location it would still sell, but probably wouldn't catch the attention like showing off a midriff would. 

The second ad is Stolichnaya Flavored Russian Vodka. Experimenting alcohol is close to dating different women at the same time, apparently. Obviously, it's targeting men who like to have a good time with a few attractive ladies. This ad could be used in a different variety of magazines, I think. I'm not really drawn this ad like Visa's ad. The women in the ad don't really catch my attention, maybe because I see this ad in black and white.  The women aren't smiling at the text, more like for the person who is reading the ad. Beckoning for them to come sit down. Drinking this type of vodka insures a good time and attractive women all around!
