Analysis

One of the main features of this advertisement is the colour. The black colour is as dark as a crow and it shows power and strength. Another feature is the reading path which starts straight at the lady in the centre of the advertisement and then it goes down her body to the bottom. After that it then follows the background to the left and up to the billabong logo. It then follows over past her head and down the left side of the background.

The logo at the top left of the page ‘Billabong’ symbolizes that the product is from billabong or it represents something for billabong. The vectors on the lady are straight and sharp at the corners as she is the main attraction then the background is curved and soft. Also the size of the lady takes up most of the advertisement and that is another technique which is used to present the product.

The lighting comes straight from the background to the centre. The lighting lights up the product and that makes it more noticeable. The shot which is used is a long shot as it shows the body of the lady and it also shows some background around it. The angle of the camera is low looking up at the product. This camera angle gives more power to the product.

In the background it is very dark and gloomy then they have some bright features coming out to attract the viewer’s attention to look at it. The way that the lady has her hair out also represents power and dominance to her. The way that she is standing also gives us the idea that she is the attraction, as she as not gazing or looking at the viewer.

The main product of this advertisement is the clothes that the lady is wearing. She is selling to the audience that if the purchase those clothes they will be beautiful and look like her. In small writing to the right there is also the name of the product which is ‘Tara Dakides.’  There is also a white arrow in the background pointing at the billabong logo. This suggests that the logo is also an important part of this as it is related to the product.

I have been using second life for 11 weeks of this term. I have learnt how to fly around, create objects, and edit my appearance in the site second life. In order to create my shirt which was the project we had to do I had to use Photoshop which is the program we used. I have never used Photoshop before in my life so it was difficult to use it for a start and even harder creating a shirt in it.In Photoshop I got used to the different types of tools and some techniques. with those techniques I created my jersey of the Parramatta eels. I customised the back and front of the jersey and also the sleeves of it. So far I am still getting to know second life and I am still not 100 % with the techniques and how to create objects. I have advanced my self in Photoshop and second life but I can still get better.I would still like to learn how to insert/create buildings and detailed objects in second life. Next term while creating a soccer field in groups I would learn more about all the different types of tools and techniques. I am finding it difficult getting used to Photoshop and second life but i will learn more and get better. When we start using second life next term in our groups I would need to focus more on creating things and how to do it in order to make a soccer field. By: Gaby Elsusu
