3.  My product is over the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the various special edition systems. 

4.  This product is branded as a home entertainment gaming console to connect to other people and events world-wide. The image is to sell a gaming experience like no other, with some of the best computer animated graphics and level design for each game released on the console. There really is no difference than what I just typed.

5.  The Xbox 360 has only one slogan: Jump In.

6.  The Images on the ad are of the system itself, sometimes of the package if it is a bundle. For example, on the Halo 3/Halo Wars bundle packaging, there are UNSC Spartans and  Covenant Elites  marching into battle. On the arcade system package, it has a bunch of different designs, all in a shade of translucent light green.

Branding: Project 3 Example by Lindy Andersen

This is an example of the final project that my super-awesome former student and current photography major did many years back. She researched Silver Jeans and wanted to sell the image of youthful, cool, artsy and edgy.
After doing her research, Lindy shot her friend, Sarah Schwarte, in a pair of those jeans. She then manipulated the image creating a multiple Polaroid effect.
