My Advert Edit

For this graphics project we had to find a piece of advertising or anything that we could think of that we could edit and manipulate to show a hidden truth about it such as brands, politics, banks etc. I really struggled with this project at first i couldnt think of anything interesting or different to do and couldnt think of anything good to write over the image...the first couple of lessons on it i spent just doing research trying to get ideas and reading up on the news if there were anything i could talk about that i found interesting. I didnt want to get into anything too heavy like politics because i dont really know enough about it to back it up... so i researched strange and funny adverts to give me some ideas and these are some of the ones i found :)


















 I then started looking into drinking adverts as i think they probably decieve and lie the most, showing adverts of beautiful women looking classy and not being sick on themselves...so i got the idea to show what people are really buying into.





I googled random pictures of drunk people which was pretty funny and wanted to take logos and slogans from real adverts to place over them. These are a few i found that i thought were a bit more appropriate as they had no nakedness...i found out that drunk people are very bendy.







So these are some of my edited designs, i just took the logos, slogans and website links from real adverts, i picked WKD as its the classiest drink, and arranged them over different images to try make them look like realistic adverts from far but close up you see the image. 



The text i got from other images isnt cut very precisely and the quality of the images i used werent very good. But from one of the other WKD TV adverts the end freeze frame the image behind is blurred which is kind of appropriate for drunk people, with the text over the top. Over all i think they worked quite well apart from the quality of the text and i could of made them more convincing and added an extra less obvious element.
