In this ad, the persuasive technique used is to make the man called Diego on the ad ridiculous,
because if a man looks ridiculous when he is using women’s shampoo, men are going to stop
using women’s shampoo and they are going to buy men’s shampoo. For the visual language, at
the beginning of the video the man who is talking first looks normal but then, when the other
man (Diego) comes he looks shocked, while Diego looks normal as if everything was normal.
Then, when the man who talked at the beginning tells him that when he is moving his hair there
is a women’s shampoo commercial effect and that it’s probably because of the shampoo he
used, Diego moves his hair and looks shocked. So he looks at the shampoo he used and he
sees that he used a women’s shampoo, so he starts to run to get a men’s shampoo at the store.
When he has a men’s shampoo, he washes his hair with the shampoo, so his hair looks short
and he looks happy. The overall effect of the ad’s design is that it looks colorful and busy. It
looks really energetic.
Pathos is used in the commercial by making the audience looking at this ad feel happy. Logos is
used in this ad by showing a logic message which is that men should look masculine and not
feminine. The writer want the audience to buy their product, he want the audience to think that
it’s not okay to look feminine when you’re a man but that you should be masculine, he want the
audience to feel happy because of the colours and the energy and he want the audience to buy
the men’s shampoo after looking at the video.
