Use of Language – The advertisement contains limited text, focusing the viewers'
attention on the model and the specific campaign moto. At first the reader
would notice ‘SMOOTH MOVES ONLY’, a play on words relating to the subject.
Jordan Luce is the face of this advert, a wheelchair basketball player. ‘Smooth
moves’ can relate to the clean movements of a wheelchair but also the ‘coolness’
of his high-level skills. The use of ‘only’ allows the reader to understand that the
quality of these clothes create a sense of ability of ‘smooth moves’ and with
them you can be nothing less. Beneath this text the advertisement states
'#LABELSAREFORCLOTHES'. This is the overall name of River Island's campaign,
creating an understanding that if labels are for clothes, they are not for people.
This language creates a sense of inclusivity and uniqueness for the readers as
they are being told to be themselves.
Layout – The positioning of the image makes out that the focus isn't on the fact
the model is a wheelchair user, and instead on him as a person. Demonstrating
uniqueness as a whole person instead of the ‘obvious’ thing that makes a person
different, linking to the message of the campaign.
Use of colour – These colours are very sleek and send a message about the
brand and how they want to be perceived in a clean, cool way. The simplicity of
all the colours makes focus easy on every piece of the advert as it is hard to miss
any points as everything stands out on its own. The way the clothes stand out
helps to emphasise the campaign and the uniqueness it supports.
Brand identity/ Logo – The River Island logo is recognizable to a lot of the British
public very quickly. The logo is very simple and made up of the two letters, R and
I, in the name River Island. It is very sleek, fitting into the identity that the
company wants to create.
Typography- Similar to the language, layout, and colours in this campaign, the
typography is also simple and sleek. Overall tying every aspect of the advert
together. The font is a proportionally pleasing size and the text is also in capitals,
keeping consistency throughout the writing.
Branding- Due to the simplicity of the advertisement, the colours aren’t
distracting and the language is simple and minimal, you will see the River Island
logo very quickly. The logo is likely to be quickly recognizable to the general
British public, but if not, beneath the logo is their website domain which states
the company’s full name. This unfortunately limits quick viewers that have
potential of interest to those who already recognise the brand.
