This
very simple advertisement was created by Andrew Clarke of Saatchi & Saatchi
(Singapore). The quotation below (from Aitchison 1999, p. 171) describes Clarke's
thought processes.
"By putting Fiery Fries near the logo, it reduces the ad to two elements.
I did try Fiery Fries just below the picture, and I also tried it centralised
under the picture at the bottom, and both times the logo was in the corner.
So there were three elements, picture and caption and logo, and what I did was
break up the pureness of the white, so I just tucked it all in the corner." You can see the different versions that (we presume) Clarke had in mind by
clicking here. The visual
disconnects that Clarke describes for the alternative versions also seem to
alter the Ideal-Real perception that
the reader has: "Fiery Fries" moves out of the Real to the Ideal.
In other words, only the version that Clarke actually used has the form: Image/Ideal: "What is this?" Text/Real: Fiery Fries from Burger King.
