Advertising and Marketing: Key conventions

Part 1: Skittles advert analysis


  • The images of the product (skittles) inform the audience of what kind of product it is. The idea of 'taste the rainbow' is also reinforced by having the product in the form of a rainbow, which is usually associated with joy
  • The logo is the central image of the advertisement because it is made bright and colourful to help it stand out, therefore promoting the producers of the product
  • The background is a simple image of the sky, further allowing the logo to stand out while also suggesting to the audience that the product will make you feel happy as if you were on the clouds
