Bad Ad

Here's my example of a bad advertisement (sorry that some of it was torn off).  There is nothing about this ad that makes me feel compelled to buy their product, or even to look at the image long enough to figure out what they're selling.  I think that the composition is confusing (especially with where they chose to place the words).  The image itself isn't very interesting, it's mostly shades of black and grey which is probably why I don't feel like stopping to look at it before turning the page.  And there's nothing about the photo of the bracelet they are advertising, or the photo of the model wearing them, that makes the product seem special or desirable in any way.  And even the phrase they used is confusing to me. The ad is supposed to be about love, which I'm guessing means the woman that the picture is focused on is in on a romantic trip with the man behind her.  But they don't seem to be in love, or even having a good time, or even together. Anyways, I think this is a really boring ad.
