50 Cent Advert Analysis








This is 50 cents advertisement of Reebok. The colours used in this advert are quite dull and dark, this could be him reflecting on the past and his history as it hasn't been good for him but there's a light/shadow reflecting on the areas of his face but isn't that clear. The advert is split in half of 2 different things, the left side of the advert is a imagine of a medium close up shot of 50 cents face and the other has one of his quotes but in the background it had a police note with 50 cents finger prints on it which shows that he could be a criminal and he is in the police records. the imagine that is the close up shot mainly focuses the seriousness of his facial expressionsThe size of the image takes up 50% of the print which suggests that the face of the advert is as important as the text. In the image the largest text that says 'i am what i am' which also relates to the image of 50 cent as it connotates the fact that he is proud of who he is and is comfortable with his past. in the smaller text it states 'take advantage of today because tomorrow is not promised.' this also relates to 50 cent as he has been shot over 10 times. the typography of the poster has the feeling of medieval times. This perhaps suggest that the history he has had of going to jail, and being a criminal will always be part of him, but that doesn't mean he can't change.
