Gender representation in advertising: blog tasks

 

1) Find three adverts featuring women that are from the 1950s or 1960s. Save the images to your Media folder as jpegs and then import them into your blog post. Hint: You may wish to look at car, perfume or cleaning products but can use any product you wish.

2) Find three adverts featuring women that are from post-2000. Save the images to your Media folder as jpegs and then import them into your blog post.

3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples. 

During the 1950's and 1960's adverts we are provided with a lot of stereotypes that sexualise women such as them being in the kitchen for most of her life and managing the family becoming the breadwinner. 

4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts? Give specific examples.

They are more used less in the kitchen or in general managing the house and so the men are taking over that responsibility.

5) How do your chosen adverts suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 60 years?

The chosen adverts suggested representations of gender have changed over the last 60 years as advertisement in the latest years was been not as sexualised towards a certain gender. So then one group can take responsibilities of another role that isn't made fore them.
