Comparing Food Advertisements

An aspect both Sydney and I talked about is the idea of a body-consious, image concerned consumer. My Macdonald's ad and Sydney's Heinz pasta sauce ad both discuss the importance of all natural ingredients. Also, our posts correlate when we discuss the observation of a simplistic, straightforward advertisement with plain white backgrounds and bold, richly colored vegetables.

Both Dani and I also discussed how certain advertisements are geared toward specific audiences, discussing targeting certain genders in particular. While I focus more on the looks of the advertisement and how this targets a male audience, she discusses both the authenticity of Gatorade as well as the male athletes who are drinking the performance drink. Both of our observations are similar in that we both cue in on what are deemed as attractive to men and what is considered masculine in advertisements, being either fonts and quotes or sports and the male athletes that play them.

While Andrew and I both touch on how advertisements reflect on our society's culture, Andrew talks about great deals on meats and the concept of indulging on something for almost nothing at all. I on the other hand talk about the luxury associated with foods, like the designer ice-cream for example.
