Food lust advertising design: Applying the concepts of 'luxuria' and 'chastity'
When comparing cars such as Hummer and the Prius, the contrast between the two brand identities seems obvious. One is a large, gas-guzzling vehicle that denotes the purchaser's wealth. The Prius is a small, snub-nosed vehicle that apparently proclaims the user's interest in environmental sustainability. However, beneath the surface, there are even more complex issues about how the vehicles convey the user's class. The Prius is also an expensive car, after all. Chastity is not about low price -- it is an attitude.

Some products marketed as objects of 'luxuria' may be low-priced; some may be high-price. Some products marketed upon their 'chastity' may be more expensive than their 'luxuria' counterparts. The Wendy's Baconater is a good...
The excessive nature of the burger -- it is made with two quarter-pound patties topped with six slices of bacon -- is used to market the menu item. The luxury and indulgent aspect of the burger is its selling point, even though it is a relatively low-cost item. The typical fast food consumer is looking for value, but the burger is not sold primarily on cost, unlike the 99 cent menu items. It is presented as an affordable way to indulge for the target demographic.
However, while in the United States, fast food consumers tend to be less affluent, in many nations the cache of Americaness and the novelty of eating fast food means that franchises tend to attract a higher-end demographic. With this in mind, Wendy's has introduced a burger for its Japanese market that is specifically marketed upon the appeal of its expense as well as its indulgence: a foie gras burger topped with truffles. It is priced at…

Future Born under Saturn According to Born Under Saturn, over the course of the Middle Ages, a new paradigm was born. Before, in the ancient world, artists functioned anonymously. Artists were seen as craftsmen who produced works, often in a fairly formulaic manner, for specific religious and civic purposes. In the Middle Ages, artists as individual creators with unique visions became more important in the culture. Gradually, the reverence for the
