The two Print ads, "Sugababes" and "Veet" both are effective in selling there products.
In the "Sugababes" print ad there are three beautiful women, who are known as the "sugababes" (an English pop girl group). The product/s are shown on the bottom right hand side and one each product has an individual senses; tempt, tease and touch. On the bottom left hand side we find the slogan, 'tempt, tease, touch...' the slogan relates to the each Sugababe body language, Sugababe on the left relates to "tempt" as her clothing is quite revealing yer sassy. "touch" refers to the sugababe on the right as she has a lascivious look and she stokes hear her, could mean to say she is giving the message 'I want you'/ "you know you want me".
