Culture Jammers



What company does the advertisement represent/subvert?
Tommy Hilfiger and Starbucks are being represented.

What kind of product(s) is being advertised?
Tommy Hilfiger is advertising clothes and the Starbucks is advertising coffee.

What imagery is used in the advertisement to subvert?
An unhealthy looking thin woman is shown for Tommy Hilfiger. Starbucks shows a crown on the mermaid's head and the words "Six Bucks Coffee".

What message is used in the advertisement?
Tommy Hilfiger: You must be incredibly thin to fit into the clothes.
Starbucks: They sell over-priced coffee.

How are the elements and principles of design used to convey a message?
Both designs are quite simple, taking the logo of the company they're jamming and adding to it to make their message.

Does the ad jam convey a clear and successful message?
I think that both of these make very clear and agreeable points. The message is very successful.

How could the ad jam be improved?
These ads could be improved maybe With a bit cleaner work (at least for the Tommy Hilfiger ad). Otherwise I don't think anything really needs to be improved.
