Designing the Swarovski bracelets
14. • Crea ting a concept that stimulates and liberates individual creativity
• General mood - A very feminine yet powerful feeling is evoked by the ad.
• Colour scheme - Pastel coloured flowers are used perfectly in contrast
with the silver crystals and black clothing. Nothing bright has been used
in the images for the crystals to shine on. Everything is either pastel or
nude.
ADVERTISING DESIGN CONCEPT
15. • Light - Appropriate light is shown in the
advertisement image. The light is seen coming from
the left side because the shadows are visible on the
right side. So the contrast between light and dark is
also fine.
• Shapes - The shapes of the product are very sporty
and sturdy, in contrast to the soft flowing flowers
shown in the image. The crystals reflect the modern
strong and confident women whereas the floral
composition shows the sensitive, feminine, sensual
and elegant nature of the same woman.
