Media Language and Representation: Lucozade & Shelter Lucozade They have used blue as a background as it is a masculine color which is normally associated with men. They have a gradient which goes from blue to a light blue. The light blue has a halo effect around the guy in the picture which points him out to the audience. The gradient around him makes him seem like he is radiant and admitting light and also makes him seem like he has a halo around him which conveys to the audience of his importance.  The yellow color stands out from the blue background especially because it doesn't have the gradient and is a bold color also is the color of the sun and the sun gives people energy which works for a lucozade advert because lucozade is an energy drink. Blue and yellow are  the colors of lucozade which subliminally  sends the message to the audience that it is a lucozade advert without explicitly saying it. The blue also represent hydratio...

In some of their adverts they address the females in their audience and tell them if they buy the product the person will become manlier and smell better, they draw the attentions of females by using attractive males  in the latest old spice advert (where the man is on a horse). He addresses the female audience then makes them compare him to the male in the room, this could belittle the male in the room and make him feel as if he needs to buy their products to become more attractive. With the adverts which are geared towards males they entice them by stating that if they wear their aftershave they will become more attractive, they also persuade them of this by using attractive males which me would want to be like for example the advert where the person is surfing because he is athletic. 2) They contribute to engagi...
