This is an ad for the Skulls exhibit hosted by the California Academy of Sciences, a famous natural history museum in San Francisco, California. It has used typography in a very unique way to create deeper meaning and involves some insight from the viewer. ”. The shakiness and scary-movie poster structure and look of the font and its colour all match the colour scheme of the structure and the curves and shape of the lines of copy all blend together. For the average person, they may see an animal skill. But for a student that attends the California Academy of Sciences, they see history and depth. The type takes the form of the skull as if to emphasize every curve and detail of the shape tells a story, which is true for someone well versed in osteology or anatomy. The ad builds up intrigue and mystery with its spooky, haunting-looking copy, such as “I was hungry and so were my twins” and “bite them with my big sharp teeth”, to try and create interest …show more content…

Most of their ads do seem to be on the “edgy” side, as with their series of ads featuring animals and insects mating with censorship blurs on them. So as far as strategy alignment goes, these ads seem to continue to break the colourful, family-friendly museum ad standard. I think this is an effective piece. It uses a very unique and refreshing approach to the typically visually-centric ads museums typically use in order to not completely give away what’s in the exhibit and entice people to come. There’s typically a stereotype that in museums you stand in front of an exhibit reading a boring, textbook-like description. The use of tone and imagery invoked by this type shatter that preconception. That would also be impossible to do by just using photography in this

    I seem to absorb advertisements quicker than I can process them; they breeze past any cognitive thought or qualifications and set up shop as doctrines for my life. Moreover, some advertisements are denied with twisted logic, like using brand loyalty to make decisions. In an effort to gain better understanding of advertising’s art of persuasion, I have been studying the rhetorical appeals and attempting to identify them in my daily ad intake. They are: pathos, an appeal to emotions; logos, an appeal to logic and reasoning; ethos, an appeal to credibility; and Kairos, the timeliness of the appeal. Recently, while walking through Overton Park, I came across a sign that advertises three park features: a zoo, art college, and art museum; rather

    The advertisement says, “THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD GET BETWEEN A HUNTER AND HIS MEAT IS BREAD.” This is written in a font like what you would commonly find on signs that mark public hunting land, which makes it recognizable to just about any hunter. All of the text, with the exception of the Arby’s logo, is capitalized, which is how text usually appears on these signs. Most of the text is relatively small, but there are some words that stand out that really grab your attention. These words are A HUNTER and MEAT, which makes sense in this ad because all hunters like meat.

With just three images, the moon, the American flag, and the Made in China on the flag, it captured the capability of their product and added an ironic twist at the end. The simplistic design, the clear message, and the interesting layout works great together to promote their telescope, and intrigue their American consumer.
