Discussion QuestionsDiscussion Questions
14-36
Discussion Question 1Discussion Question 1
• What are the differences between using an illustration and using a photograph?
• Give an example of a product category where you would want to use an illustration and another example where you would use a photograph.
• Explain why.
14-37
Discussion Question 2Discussion Question 2
• What principles govern the design of a magazine ad?
• Collect two samples, one that you think is a good example of effective design and one that you think is not effective.
• Critique the two ads and explain your evaluation based on what you know about how design principles work in advertising layouts.
14-38
Discussion Question 3Discussion Question 3
• Choose an ad from this textbook that you think demonstrates a good layout with a clear visual path.
• Take a piece of tracing paper, as we have done with the Porsche ad in Figure 14.3, and convert the key elements to geometric shapes to see what kind of pattern emerges.– Illustrate on your tracing how the eye moves around
the page.
– Put an X on the dominant element on your tracing.
14-39
Discussion Question 4Discussion Question 4
• One of the challenges for creative ad designers is to demonstrate a product whose main feature cannot be seen by the consumer.
• Suppose you are an art director on an account that sells shower and bath mats with a patented system that ensures that the mat will not slide (the mat’s underside is covered with tiny suction cups that grip the tub’s surface).– Brainstorm some ways to demonstrate this feature in
a television commercial.– Find a way that will satisfy the demands of
originality, relevance, and impact.
14-40
Discussion Question 5Discussion Question 5
• Think of a television commercial you have seen recently that you thought was creative and entertaining. Then find one that you think is much less creative and entertaining.
• Analyze how the two commercials work to catch and hold your attention.– How do the visuals work? – What might be done to make the second commercial
more attention getting? • You can also use online sources to find
commercials at www.adcritic.com and at www.badads.org.
14-41
Discussion Question 6Discussion Question 6
• One approach to design says that a visual image in an ad should reflect the image of the brand.
• Find a print ad that you think speaks effectively for the personality of the brand. Now compare the print ad with the brand’s Web site.– Does the same design style continue on the site?
– Does the site present the brand personality in the same way as the print ad?
