Revlon

This is another nice looking magazine advertisement for revlon nail polish. The black background really helps to bring forward the bright colors of the red as well as the brightness in the models face. The brown in the eyes and the reds of the nails and lips are very bright and eyecatching, and the text layout looks really nice bringing back the reds of the photo and being placed well in the composition. Overall it's a simple and nice looking ad. 

Alexandre accessories

This is another nice magazine ad for hair accessories. The black in the dress and the background make the product look very fashionable, high class, and expensive. The photo is edited really nicely and you can see that the eye was really brightened and it really draws your attention because it is the only item of color in the entire ad.  The arrangement of the composition works because the model is looking straight at the info which also helps to draw your attention to the brand name. Overall it was a nicely placed ad.

Starbucks Coffee

This is a nice looking photograph and ad for starbucks. The photograph is slightly off center and the blurred out background really helps to bring the text forward and help to draw attention to the cup on the right. The green at the bottom is perfect for tying the whole ad together and bringing color and attention to the brand and product. 

Axe Twist

This is a really nice product shot, I love the green glow in the water and the way it relates to what the product is. The diagonal of the product gives a lot of action as well as the active splash happening in the photo. The lighting on the bottle is also really nice in that the black bottle doesnt blend in with the black background at all.

Marchesa

This is another really glamourous product shot. The lighting and colors are really beautiful and it really translates to me as high class, diamonds, and very expensive sort of product based on not only the bottle, but the glittery background, the clear shot and the soft lighting on the product. The blue coming up from behind looks really nice and really separates the product from blending in with the similar colors of the background.

Heineken

This is another really awesomely lit product photo. The greens in the bottle manage to not blend in with the green background as well as the green liquid splashing against it. You can easily see all the shades and hues and the glittery reflections on the water really provide a nice contrast against the dark green and black background.

B'ham bold

This is another really different approach at a product shot. I really like both the composition and the way that the product was lit. The red of the bottle really comes through against the black and the reflections of light on the rest of the bottle are a really nice contrast against the black background. The smoke and ice is also lit really well to show the light behind the object as well as fading out the ice around the edge of the photograph where it is not as important.
