1. HAIR (Billboard): The radiation structure of the sun brings attention to the center where we can see the title. The blue font of the title contrasts well against the orange and yellow background, making the letters really pop. The hands also reach for the lettering, pushing our focus directly toward it.

2. UFC (Billboard): The first obvious composition tactic is the mirror effect of the fighters. There is also an interesting ploy with the figure and the ground. The UFC is in the background, then it brings us to the spectacle of the fighters, and finally in front of everything is the details of the event. One might argue that their names direct our attention diagonally upward and to the right, but it just takes us from fist to fist.

3. Mini (Online Ad): Right off the bat, we can see this one has a formal structure. The composition has a very tidy optical equilibrium, but if you look closely, you can see variation in the kerning of the images. All of the middle cars are spaced further apart than the rest, separating them into two groups. Good use of repetition; most likely suggesting, "as our times change, our product remains consistent."

4. Iveco (Online Ad): There is a lot of white space in this one (which is actually black space) allowing us to focus simply on the product and the larger-than-life icon with which it is being associated. Interesting split of color; the top majority is white while the bottom is green (they even split the font color at the same horizontal point as the image color). The massive illustration of Popeye directs you to the car below. You follow his ridiculously big arm down his body, and even his anchor tattoo is pointing to the essence of his strength: the Iveco!

5. Prada (Print Ad): Good use of lighting; the light on the front of his face contrasts the darker side. Amidst the dark side of his face, we see the shining Prada label, which happens to already be centered for us. The "Prada Eyewear" text is positioned to the right to give the effect that the light is being shed on the lettering. If anyone missed the shining emblem in the middle of the page, they can see the brand name right next to this bit of eye candy.
