This ad is a commercial ad made by Emirates Airlines in the United Arab Emirates. It is a city landscape with a golden sunset and there are a bunch of landmarks from those 6 continents in the middle of the image with an a380 which is the biggest airliner in the world on the top left. The golden rays from the sunset reflect an attractive shade on all the buildings. I like the fact that Emirates Decided not to increase the sizes of all the landmarks, it creates an interest where we have to look into the picture and spend more time to see all of the landmarks. All of that brings us to what this ad portrays Emirates airlines is telling us that they are connecting the world with fewer flights hence the phrase “Tomorrow brings us closer” For example you can fly from Sydney to New York through Dubai only, unlike other airliners where there is a minimum of Four to Five stops. The targeted age goes from teenagers to elderly. I think that this ad is negotiable because although there are people who find it convenient to fly a greater distance with fewer stops, others may like to explore more places on their way to their destination. And there are those who like to travel with Trains and Cruise ships. But it is convenient  for the people who want to get to their destination as fast as they can.

    FORMAL ANALYSIS: This photo was captured by me. It was the summer of 2021, I was working at Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International airport as a ramp agent. It is a landscape photo of a United Airlines CRJ-200 with a sunset background. This picture has a lot of appeal, for example the oval shape of the fuselage which creates a reflection of the blue sky and the golden sun with the negative space in front of the wing that creates a reflection of the main landing gear creating an emphasis which is an eye catcher. A unity is established between the fuselage and it’s reflection, the blue sky and the golden sun, the shape of the wing and the reflection of the main gear in the negative space. All together it creates this breathtaking picture that reminds me to keep working towards our dreams because it is a clear representation of the beauty that awaits at the end which gives the sense of motivation.

I love this picture. I captured this incredible moment as soon as I layed eyes upon it. I get inspired by these moments to pursue my dreams because it's a glimpse into what I am working towards. I also get a boost of creativity because it pushes me into taking photos about things that move me.
