United Colours of Benetton
The first image is merely just another to back up a campaign of a multiracial company, and are trying to promote unity between cultures.
These adverts stood out to me because there are giving of mixed emotions. They capture my attention as being racist (especially with the colours on the hearts), but then there trying to convey quite the opposite. When we showed this in class the first reaction was that the word "yellow" is inappropriately used for asian people. But they've used 'black' and 'white' to describe European and African people, so when thinking of a colour for Asians it would be yellow. So that message was on that stood out to us all.
Dolce & Gabbana
This brand always seem to create derogatory imagery. This image is both degrading toward women yet it can evoke the thought of power. It doesn't immediately look like she is the one in control but if you analyse the image she dominates the men towering over her.
The same with this, I like this one because its all men and its promoting being gay and proud (which I believe in), but its a very sexual image that combines lust power and mystery.
