Advertisement Analysis: Bad 4/15 [Popeye Detergent]

| No comment

Cons:

  • This is just creepy
  • I'm not sure what the term "loose their softness" mentioned in the copywriting refers to. I assume the picture of the baby with needles stuck all over has something to do with it but I still don't see how that translates to real life.
  • If I were a mom, I would feel repulsed and probably stay away from this detergent
  • The colour scheme used is dreary and doesn't communicate anything positive to the message of the ad

Pros:

  • The fact that the company's logo is the only coloured element in the design makes your eye drawn to it though it is comparatively small.
  • The placement of the copywriting is good as it is in the baby's line of vision so your eyes are led there

Overall:

That this ad is included in websites of freaky pictures or about Friday the 13th says a lot. Yes, at least this ad sure generated attention! But when it comes to it's effectiveness translated to potential buyers, I don't think it works. It definitely is an unforgettable image though!
