I wrote this article because I was inspired by a funny YouTube video, it's not about advertisement from customer's point of view but we can see a process of making marketing campaign with a British sense of humor. Every advertisement is done by a company to sell something, either a product or service. Federal law says that advertisement must be truthful, but there are a lot of tricks that can be used to make us buy something.  There are a lot of details that grab our attention; in advertisement they pay attention to each detail.  They want not only to sell  a product but their vision of the product a and make us behave in a certain way. Trustworthiness One of the tricks is to carefully select people in advertisements. They can be celebrities  that people like or neutral people. The latter ones are chosen, carefully. Customers rely on visual clues: first impression counts. Beyond obvious things like creepy looking faces, a mustache or scars, thi...

Hyperrealism is a trend in art that started in the 1960s in the United States. It tries to perfectly imitate reality and artists that adopted it are masters of the painting trade who put great attention to detail in their work. Hyperreal art may look similar to a photography simply because it impresses with its precision but sometimes authors are often accused of not being original. A lot of old paintings tell us how people used to look and what their lives might have looked like. Thanks to those paintings, amongst other sources, we can imagine what it was like to live in the centuries long past. Growing precision in painting has risen interest in hyperrealism and its presence in modern art. Right now we have many ways of documenting our reality (photos, videos) so we no longer have the need to commission portraits or landscapes. Still, I think there's still a lot of charm in a precise painting that shows our times - current people and things known to all of us. I would like to sho...

But even when the price goes down at the docks, the prices we pay in restaurants stay high. Why is that? Because many studies show that people get more pleasure in eating expensive food.
