There is a lot of pink in this add, however also purple, which combines both pink and blue. This could mean that the ad wants men and women to be involved in similar (sports) activities.
The texts are written in gray with white background. The legs are also colour gray, but with vivid colour(pinkish coulour w/purple) background. The colours are neatly united.
With this effect, texts and images are clearly divided. However, by using same colour for texts and the legs, it makes connection between the two. It also catches viewers' eyes.
"My knees are tomboys", is use of personification by giving knees the human characteristic of being a "tomboy". Much like the other advertisement on "thunder thighs", this advertisement is trying to make women proud to have scraped knees, instead of trying to hide them because they are considered "un-lady like" in society today. By bolding and coloring "My knees are tomboys", the playful words and subject can clearly catch someone's attention and draws the reader. By making the lines crooked and out of place, this makes the advertisement different than perhaps a straight, normal column and perhaps further suggesting to stray from the norm and stereotypes. This advertisement is clearly targeted to women because visually, the advertisement is pink and purple. Additionally, "wear my dresses short" is an example in the text itself that suggests this advertisement is directed to females.
