This short article will give an insight into the visual examples of subliminal messages as used in political speeches, cartoons, movies, song, and of course the media and advertising industry – especially the advertising industry!
Subliminal messages across all types of brands and types of products - even a subtle subliminal suggestion will have a huge effect on a brands recognition and increase sales dramatically.
However, subliminal messaging has actually been banned from use in TV adverts – advertising agencies are not allowed to use a flashed visual message within a commecial which is shorter than 0.5 of one second.e. faster than the eye is able to see. Also the use of subliminal sounds isn't allowed either – it is too manipulative to advertise to someone without their knowledge.
However subliminal messages are still used in advertising posters quite a lot. These vary from hidden text within an image (most commonly the word Sex), or subliminal suggestions (again most commonly suggesting Sexual intercourse).
Virtually all sectors of industry have used subliminal messages - everyone from from local neighbourhood bars to multinational fast food companies; - even McDonalds, and KFC producing subliminal suggestions for their adverts. Coca cola is famous for usingimages of naked women hidden cleverly on their bottles - they will do anything to anything to link coca cola and sex in your mind.
George Bush has also heavily used subliminal suggestions throughout his election campaigns, and even Disney are frequent users of subliminals – even in a kids cartoon they include subliminal messages for the same reasons as coca cola do – to add another element to their movies, and give a wider appeal and make their movies more memorable.
