  Car Ad Projects
By removing the car from the sight of the viewer, he or she becomes more enticed by the fact that he or she is not "allowed" to see it.
In terms of the semiotics within the image, the images of the car and the rays are signifiers of the specific model of the car and the animals in general, and the relationship between the physical forms creates the persuasion in the ad.
However for the images provided I think I manage to transfer the dreams of the woman and the power of the car together and make them intertwined to the point that the car is necessary if she wants to fulfill her dreams, I had relatively little difficulty with using Photoshop.

 BBC NEWS | UK | Why this isn't the car of tomorrow
The car, which could be charged using a standard three-point plug, had been aggressively marketed, at least compared to other vehicles of its ilk.
Yet Ford's problems with the Think - lack of demand, poor battery performance - are the same problems that have dogged electric cars from the year dot, says motor industry expert, Professor Garel Rhys.
Of course, Ford knew the score when it launched the Think, and the car was marketed to its strengths: re-charging costs a few pence; it was always meant to be just a city runabout; in the UK electric cars are exempt from road tax and planned congestion charges.

 Car dealer sites suck - Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals)
But almost every dealership site pushes car sales to the forfront when I have to imagine the majority of people browsing their sites are looking for service and support for the vehicle they already have.

I think that a lot of car dealerships actually make their commercials/sites cheesy and terrible on purpose because it leads the consumer to think that they are lower priced and more willing to bargain or negotiate.
