Elaboration Table for The Sociables Ad


Hue-
White people, clothing helps appearance
Value-
Light Colors
Saturation-
Basic colors
High Contrast-
Shadows around man kneeling shows muscles, superiority
Geometric-
An illusion of being at the beach
Oblique-
Focus seems to be on the man and the woman on the right because they are brought closer to the front
Open-
Outside so no boundaries
High angle-
Seem to be looking up at them, superiority

 

Long-shot
Can see them at a distance to show what you could be like if you drink the soda
Representationally-
Obviously a non-white person would not be able to identify with this add especially with this ad at the time period and the words that are used in the ad
Abstraction-
Realistic idea but seems to be appealing to one audience

  1. I think you're on a good track but elaborate more. You're not really convincing me. I don't really know what direction you're trying to take me either. I think you have good elements, you just need to elaborate more.

  2. I don't see our argument for this ad. My argument would be is Pepsi trying to say that if Pepsi is good enough for the middle class working people than it is good for everyone?
