Reebok 50 Cent Advert Analysis

The Rbk poster connotes youth and struggle. The colour is dark throughout the poster which shows that 50 Cent has been through darkness and hard times. The fingerprints connote jail and prison which is where 50 cent spent a lot of time. Rbk have used 50 Cent on their poster because he is a very well known rapper and appeals to a lot of the younger adults/ teenagers who may have been through a similar struggle as him. This poster suggests that even though he had been through such a rough time he managed to uplift himself into becoming one of the most wealthiest/ best rappers of all time.

The use of a medium-close up shows us his facial expressions. He is staring directly at the camera and looks very aggressive. This is effective in showing us how he feels. The setting is a dark room in studio. This is effective as it shows that he is/was surrounded by darkness and still managed to make it.
