Abstract

The current paper aims to review the potential relationships between the design of advertisements and the increased use of social media and influencer marketing. It consolidates data on esthetic design elements such as text, color, and images that capture consumers’ attention and the varying perspectives regarding whether an obsession with style undermines the credibility and essence of brands. This paper reviews the development process of advertisement design and identifies some factors impacting their effectiveness in traditional and new media. One evident theme is the proponents’ tension between creativity on the one hand and the minimization of concerns on the other when advertising through social media platforms and inspired promotions that offer individualized engagement. Advertisements, especially those concerning beauty standards, are also discussed in relation to the impact of body image perceptions. This review focuses more on responsible advertising that respects customers’ diverse body types, with an emphasis on value over pretty faces. The theoretical rationale and understanding advance current literature and discussions on providing responsible and socially sensitive advertising initiatives capable of connecting with upscale modern consumer audiences genuinely.
