Fentimans Rose Lemonade



Everyday Designed Object

  
          While not completely healthy, I think that this Fentimans Rose Lemonade is a good example of an object touched by a designer that I utilize most days. For the most part, its purpose in my life is to be a really tasty drink and sometimes even a treat when I feel like rewarding myself. I feel like the design of the bottle and label makes it feel very classy and chic compared to maybe a Dr.Pepper or some other soda. I think it is the font that makes it feel very fancy along with the phrases, "Botanically Brewed" and "Exquisitely Crafted" at the top and bottom of the label.

I was really attracted to the bold pattern in the background and on the model's dresses. I would have never guessed this was for a cigarette advertisement but instead maybe a fashion catalouge.  "Freeform Summer Poets" (2001)  This graphic is from an ad on the children's c...

  Semiotics- The study of signs, symbols, and how they are communicated. Denotation- Image or text that is straightforward and gives its exact meaning. Connotation- This is what is not directly stated in a message and can be found through image or text, the context behind an image or text, the form, or even the style.

Most people associate more realistic styles with more serious topics and more cartoony styles with a more childlike tone. However, these roles can be reversed if an author/artist chooses to do so. Metaphor- Imagery in comics that might convey a deeper message in the story.
