This is an ad from Trojan that I found in a (Glamour) magazine.
This is an ad from Trojan that I found in a (Glamour) magazine.
While the thought of a condom advertisement may
be questionable for some of us, it is a reality for others.
As a gds student, we see the unity of the pigs. The repetition of the pigs is
used as a tool to remind us that there are so many of them out there,
they all present themselves the same, and there is some unity.
I think we all van guess what the pigs are representative of.
The 4 females off set this unity with their variety. And of course,
there is a non-pig male. He seems to be 'getting lucky' too.
The advertiser wants us to infer that he is carrying one of their products
which is why he is not a pig and why he is 'getting lucky'.
As a composition, this one is well presented because of the use of unity
and variety and thus, balance. As an ad, because you stop to think about it,
it does get it's message across.
I would say that this ad is trendy- takes on the reality
of hooking up in a bar. It is also progressive- you don't usually see birth control advertised with both males and females and it takes on the assumption that yes they are sleeping together so they may as well be safe about it. Often we see the 'sleeping together' issue ignored because some people would rather plea ignorance to it.
