Review of Literature | Some art works help in bringing a new perspective and some help in making deep insights in the society. The needs and the objectives of art in the society have been different in every era and place. This is because of the differences in the culture of various sections and communities of the society. In the context of Religion, Culture, Enchantments, Tantra- Vidyaand various other essential things, art has been used. If we divide the art into categories based on its utility then one of them is which has been acclaimed as a pure fine art by the citizens of the society, who are prone to specific emotions or reaching the state of sensations. Moreover, this is the more educated, well off and elegant segment of our society. The second category of art can be believed to be the one associated with the daily needs of educated or uneducated people, prosperous or non-prosperous or everyone in the society. The third category is the one that celebrates ordinary life, adds new elements, optimally utilize the limited resources available and thereby gives a direction to life. |

Main Text | On the basis of business, art is associated in two
ways. Firstly, it is a medium through which an object which is useful or
decorative can be made attractive and secondly, it is through art that
advertisements can be made more attractive to make the customers buy the
product and expand the market. Both these sides move parallel in business and
one supports the other. Thus, advertisement is an independent art. After the year 1980, media developed rightly, only
after that the global market started. Before this, the mediums of reaching the
common man used to be the medium of mass communication like letters,telegram,
telephone, theatre, drama, festivals etc.In these, newspaper, magazine
articles, radio,televisionetc also got included. However, after 1980 it evolved
surprisingly and computers, internet, mobile, fax and other electronic media
got added. But in the globalization of advertising, media is divided into four
parts-newspaper, television, internet, mobile and today social media is also
another medium that is also popular. Thus, in the 20th century, media was
dominated by those means that enabled people to read, listen, and watch the
news of the world and situations happening around them in a manner that seemed
impossible earlier. The invention of World Wide Web was a
milestone in providing a platform to the public to send messages, send and
receive emails, photos and videos; and to interact with popular social media
platforms. Presently, it is said that today’s era is the
era of advertisements. The main objective of an advertisement is to sell the
product along with the creation of image of the organisation or the brand. This
makes the advertisements even more important. Advertisements are an attempt to
convince the viewers to attempt to take an action, focused on business. In a consumer-oriented society, the need of
advertisements is necessary. Advertisements are one of the means to convey a message
visually, which is majorly to buy a product. Today, when the entire world has
turned into a global village and because of international network and
communication, advertisements have gained importance. The network of
multinational companies has been covered in the entire world. We are surrounded
with competition from everywhere. All companies are engaged in attracting the
attention of the buyers towards their products, in which case, advertisements
are an effective tool. Every producer produces a mental commitment towards
a particular object in the consumers’ mind and this is the major goal of
advertisement. Advertisements build a bridge between a manufacturer,
distributer and the customers. Advertising is the result of unprecedented
changes happening around the society. Apart from this, media also helps in
spreading awareness about the different products and services available,
highlighting the benefits of their consumption, through advertisements. Many brands have been popularized through media. Brands
like Coca- Cola and McDonalds have been framed into the minds of the people
through advertisements. Watching the advertisements published in front of the
people multiple times helps to remain the advertisement etched in their memory
and when they go out, they eventually recognise the company and its products
and may even lead them to buy. Advertisements have been designed to target a large
audience and a well-designed advertisement will be the one that makes the
people either buy the product or subscribe to the service. This leads to the
product being exhausted or the service been oversubscribed. This, in turn,
increases the demand of the products and the services in the market. Today, advertisement is that art which, through its
attractive presentation, compels the consumer to purchase that particular item
that is getting produced. Advertisements result in increase in sales which in
turn increases the profits. The scale of production also increases and
customers also get better products at unexpectedly lower prices.They not only
help the public know about the new products and services but also describe
about the product and the services, the ways to buy these at the mentioned
price and the recommended uses of the product so that it can satisfy the wants
and needs of the consumers. This is only possible because of the power to reach
a larger audience at the same time. The glory of all ancient civilization is
unearthed in their ruins as a proof of artistic excellence when Architecture,
Sculpture, Drawing and painting etc. were very intelligently planned in terms
of aesthetics, magnificence and utility. Later, Indian art was influenced by
Greek art and techniques but the mixing up of two forms did not compromise on
the artistic excellence rather this combination further enhanced the richness
of artistic creativity. There was a time when art adorned the wall of palaces,
temples, or public places where the patrons would be the kings, religious
bodies or the great and rich men in the society. At its most basic sense.

the net profit of the organization. It tends to be said without a doubt that

continued looking for the market then rivalry started in the advertisements as
well. For the marketing of each item, publicizing system is a fundamental
component. Most advertisements concerned customer merchandise. The upper and middle classes, who have more
spending power, are the target market for these commodities. The media's
reliance on the advertising business has an impact on its planning. Because of
the media's reliance on the advertisement sector, the same programs that are
popular or have been made popular in the social category with more purchasing
power are included in its priority.
