Critique

This is Ruby, an spokesperson for the Body Shop. She changed advertisements marketed towards women in an in spiting way. It is refreshing to see something different that really speaks to you, as a woman I know. Its discouraging to see size 2 women posted all over cities and malls, television sets and more. "There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and only 8 who do" is a very strong slogan. This makes women stop and think about how they view themselves. The figure in the background, Ruby, is standing in a very confident pose and looks sure of herself and happy to be naked. I respect this more than any size 2 model posted across a window of the mall. This is inviting because it tells you that all women are welcome here. The red background has great contrast with the figure. Unfortunately this was too controversial for many malls and had to be taken down from the shops. Some people thought it was too offensive and inappropriate for all ages. But to me, why? Isn't showing young girls that its okay to have eating disorders wrong? I mean, I am not saying "lets raise an obese society" or anything. I just want to be able to see a little variety in advertisements marketed towards women.

Ad crit

All I have to say is that searching the web for advertisements can be pretty...well to be quite honest, sad. You search and see these ads that don't speak to you and then you stumble on one. Bam, it hits you.

This is a very powerful ad to me. This is promoting organ donations which I completely believe in. This is important to everyone in the human race because you never know when something deadly is going to happen to you and: A. you die or B. you need an organ to live. What are you going to do? I am an organ donor and believe it is my human duty to help those in need if something were to happen to me.

This is a shocking advertisement because it is a dead person on the street that has just been hit by a car. This works because pretty much everyone who crosses the street could be hit by a car. This also appeals to a wide group of people because it looks like it just happened out of nowhere. An accident can and will happen to everyone when they aren't expecting or planning it. The angle if this shot shows the suddenness of the incident. The people coming out of their cars shows that too. This is a very intense image. Blunt and to the point. The negative space of the asphalt brings your eyes to the focal image of the boy dead on the asphalt. The the cars aren't in full view giving just the right amount of information leading your eyes. The stale, bleak, and dull color that overcasts the image gives a feeling of sadness.

The text proclaiming that you can be a hero after your die is so powerful. I think it speaks to a lot of people, its powerful and true. I love how simple words can work to make the viewer feel something. It touches them. It touched me.
