The image I chose was The Hoover Company Ad. In the picture you can see a woman lying down on the floor in a long green and white dress looking at her new gift, which is a Hoover Vacuum Cleaner; you can obviously see that she's excited and ready to get started using it. Some colors the stand out are the Sparkly red vacuum cleaner with a big green bow the colors can be assumed to stand for Christmas time because of the red and green colors. The white carpet can stand for how clean she keeps her house, the long dress probably means that she wealthy and again the colors red and green and white stand for Christmas. Something’s I notice about the text is that the color of the text matches the colors scheme. The font of the words is very elegant and girly. The text on the vacuum cleaner that says “HOOVER ” on the side makes the vacuum cleaner look very expensive. Something that sticks out about the text is that how its says “Christmas morning (and forever after) she’ll be happier with a Hoover,” I find that very bias because its making it seem like women love to clean and that even after Christmas morning she going to be still very excited about the vacuum cleaner, which can change. This Ad can be towards any economic class but mainly upper class since the woman in the Ad seems very rich. It also can be towards any Race class and only one gender which are females because it is assumed that they love to clean. The time period of this picture is probably in the 1950’s by the way that the woman is dressed. The audience for this Ad can assume to be housewives or women in any economic class. It also can be for Men or the spouses of the housewives looking to get their wives something nice for Christmas that can be very beneficial towards their living environment. You can easily tell that this Ad is for women who stay home and clean because of the text that stated in the Ad. The purpose of this advertisement is to persuade people into buying the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner for their wives because the stereotype of women is that they stay home and clean so their vacuum cleaner can very useful to women. In a lot of ways this advertisement is very persuasive, the tactic and appeal works together very well to achieve the purpose and the words and images works together to achieve the purpose in so many different ways. The text is very persuasive by what it says about: giving her a Hoover and you give her the best (and forever after), P.S. to Husbands: She cares about her house, you know, so if you really care about her….. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to consider a Hoover for Christmas? The things like that makes the Ad very persuasive and it makes you think. The colors match the Christmas theme from the colors of the words to the colors of the items shown in the picture. The overall meaning of the Ad is that it’s a Woman’s duty to clean the house and keep it clean.
