Samsung Ad

Since we’re covering advertisements, here’s another still one. I am particularly interested in this one because it combines two of my loves: electronics and music. This is an ad for the Samsung brand, which I find interesting because it isn’t advertising for one product.

When you look at this, you can see the phones arranged in such a way that it looks like the “sign of the horns.” This sign is usually seen at rock concerts, so it makes the connection between the phones and music. Also, by making the phones look like a hand, the company is saying something along the lines of, “Buy our cell phones, and you will literally have awesome music in your hands.” By showing different varieties of phones, Samsung is saying that many of their phones are capable of playing music, giving the consumer a choice of color and style. This gives the audience a sense of freedom of expression. If you look at the lighting of the image, the blue light surrounded by black in the background is similar to the setting at a rock concert or at a performance of some sort. This is telling the audience that they can use the phones to personally experience music just as if they were at a concert. Also, if everything else didn’t give the message away enough, the text on the bottom sums it all up: “Express your musical side.”
