Dana's Assignment 4: Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholde
This image reflects a standard of beauty are sexy and fresh. Is it being used to try to sell a product. This is a famous cosmetic named Dior. It try to sell their new product, Dior perfume Addict 2. From this advertisement, we can tell that the atmosphere is happy and fresh, with a little bit sexy. Also the girl in the image looks young and attractive. She looks slim but healthy. It represents a certain idea of beauty which is healthy sexy, and make you think that you will look like her if you use this perfume. I agree with the way this image is used. Because most of the perfume advertisements are trying to give people some information to make people think if they want to be sexy as the model, then they will look nasty. But this image shows that even if you want to be sexy you can still be healthy and fresh. What is more, this image give people a great feeling, peaceful atmosphere. It makes you have the impulse to buy this product. This is a good perfume advertisement; I think if I am the customer, I will try to buy this product.

Dana, great reflections! You make an excellent argument for why this is a good advertisement. However, I think you miss one thing - don't you think the makers of this advertisement try to make it look like a drug-induced haze with the colors and images since the perfume is called Addict? That is what I think!
