Design Analysis

Repetition is a primary element used in this advertisement, mostly through the use of the color red. Through the heart being drawn in red, the re nail polish, and  Emma’s lip color and nail being red, Lancome is repetitively using the color to draw the attention of the audience. By pairing it with the repetitive use of Emma’s silver outfit and the silver backdrop the ad, the red stands out more to the eye. By using repetition the audience is drawn to buy red products.
