...that needs thorough analysis in order to determine the implication brought about by the depiction of sex and sexuality through the use of print media. The depiction of human sexuality can be separated into two parts, male and female sexuality. These two forms vary according to the differences in the gender of the persons involved. Objective: The main objective of this paper is to study, keenly, the research methods used in two literatures, and to provide an analysis of the literatures on sexual imagery. The two literatures were compiled by different people to show how various forms of male and female sexuality are constructed in different publications. The two articles are similar because they both talk about the depiction of women in various forms of print advertisements especially in magazines. However, as Sexuality focuses mostly on the sexuality and people’s view of sex, as well as, their feelings and preferences in sex, The European Journal of Marketing, focuses mostly on the picture of women that is painted representing women as either sexual objects or feminine sexual goddesses. The European Journal of Marketing also focuses on the position of women and their sex roles in the community. In the article, the various sex roles that women play have been reviewed. It has also compared the power of women, in sex, over men, and that of men over women as well. *Fravid and Braun (2006) what was the Benefits of this approach/ disadvantages of the content analysis they conducted in...

...Instructor BAS Gender Display in Fashion Magazines Advertisements Introduction Images in advertising that depict stereotypical gender roles and displays have long been a major concern in the field of gender studies. Before beginning research of gender display in advertisements, it is imperative to understand that advertising is a significant agent of socialization in modern industrialized societies (Kang, 1997), and is often used as a tool to maintain certain social constructions, such as gender. According to Rohlinger, the bodies in advertisements represent an ideal that individuals seek to achieve, and thus create the foundation for a masochistic relationship with one’s own body (Rohlinger, 2002). This statement is confirmed by the increasing rate of body dissatisfaction, greater weight concern, the development of eating disorders and lower self-esteem. Moreover, gender is a routine, methodical, and recurring accomplishment that actually surfaces in everyday human interaction (West and Zimmerman, 1987), and gender relations are learned through these advertisements, which essentially serve as a distorted reflection of the real world. These sexualized and stereotypical gender images are teaching the viewers a vast array of social cues, a certain way to interpret social reality, and are eventually reconstructing the definition of femininity and masculinity. Various studies have been done regarding the covert ways that magazine advertisements construct masculinity and femininity...

...Hip-hop began as a form of African-American street culture in New York City during the 1970s (Watkins, 2001), but the art has expanded to become a multi-billion dollar industry (Atkinson & Halliday, 2003), mostly due to the success of rap music, the most widely publicized and marketed aspect. Media such as television and magazines are responsible for hip-hop’s global recognition today, allowing everyone from the United States to Germany and Korea to embrace the culture (Bennett, 1999). Hip-hop culture has made an enormous transition from its beginning stages to its current state. Early hip-hop reduced inner-city gang violence, as aspects such as the break dancing and rapping acted as positive outlets for at-risk youth, but the emergence of “gangsta” and commercial rap during the 1990s severely lessened the emphasis on non-violence (Watkins, 2001). Today, media associate hip-hop culture with drugs, sex, and violence (Yousman, 2003). This research paper will analyze advertisements in hip-hop magazines, with the aim of discovering how women are depicted. Specifically, this paper will examine how the majority of advertisements within three major hip-hop magazines in the United States depict women in a manner that both reinforces male dominance in American society and depicts women as sexual objects. This paper will also explain and demonstrate how the media images are functioning according to Professor George Gerbner’s cultivation theory. Several scholarly sources deal with hip-hop...

...Properly promoting and positioning a brand takes extensive market research analysis and recognition of who the brands target market is. From there, an advertisement can be created that the target market will be drawn to. A successful advertisement has the capability to create a want or need for the product within the consumer. Successful advertising can propel a brand or company to success, or it can create the collapse and disintegration of its image. The advertisement must stay true to the brand’s image while simultaneously be interesting enough to draw in new potential consumers. Through the analysis of a Louis Vuitton and an Etienne Aigner advertisement from ELLE Magazine, it is simple to pinpoint the success of the Louis Vuitton advertisement and the pitfalls of the Etienne Aigner advert. The Louis Vuitton advertisement depicts Michelle Williams, an accredited actress and style icon, with an iconic Louis Vuitton monogram print bag casually slung over her shoulder. It is simple, and tasteful. The image is not extremely exciting but the subdued, cool coloring of Michelle Williams is striking in comparison to the warm camel tones of the bag, creating an arresting image. It is clear in this advertisement that the product that is trying to be sold is the bag. In comparison the Etienne Aigner advertisement is less straightforward in what it is trying to sell. The ad contains a brown fur and leather boot positioned horizontally at the top of the page and a table with a few...

...Product Market Analysis Introduction to Communication May 26, 2013 Product Market Analysis Deciding which product to purchase once the decision to make the purchase can often be a difficult task. Today’s media outlets offer a high level of advertising and product marketing. Information released from product advertisement is often true and sometimes false, sadly there is definitely a high amount of false advertisement. Knowing which advertisements are what they are claiming to be can be almost impossible. Completing research on the desired product and choosing the company that makes the highest quality product while offering a competitive price is the best way to proceed.

Another method of advertising used is through the use of celebrities, such as Lance Armstrong. Advertisement through product placement is also used in movies and television. Word of mouth advertising has also been a source for sales in relation to these bicycles. These types of bicycles...

The past decade has seen an increasing trend towards reading news/articles online and companies are responding to this increased digital audience by providing their magazines available online as well as in print. However, magazine growth has outpaced other major media over the past 10 years and many brands are still loyal towards magazine advertising, as numerous research studies show that value magazine advertising the most compared to other media . The Magazine – “Four Four Two” I will be discussing a Gillette advertisement which was placed in the May 2009 issue of Four Four Two magazine. Four Four Two is a football (soccer) magazine launched in 1994 by Haymarket Media Group, a worldwide publishing company. The product positioning statement of Four Four Two is, “The Ultimate Football Magazine”, therefore they want the readers to perceive their magazine as the ‘complete package’ for any football fan. This is consistent with the magazine’s title, Four Four Two, which takes its name from the traditional football formation; considered the ‘standard’ in the sport. Four Four Two’s sole focus is football, “the ultimate football magazine for the ultimate football fan ” and it has built itself into one of football’s most trusted brands through its high-quality interviews with the best players and coaches, providing in-depth knowledge into the worldwide sport...

...In my rhetorical analysis of the CoverGirl advertisement I analysis three rhetorical tools that are strongly conveyed to me. The advertisement uses these rhetorical tools to further persuaded audiences to buy the CoverGirl product and even stick with the brand. In this analysis I will cover the rhetorical appeals that try to convince viewers that the product is superior, the use of myth and how it is used to strengthen the persuasiveness of the advertisement, and the rhetorical situation of the advertisement. Let us move onto rhetorical appeal Rhetorical appeal is a very good way to structure any persuasive document and when used correctly it can service its purpose well. Let’s analysis how this persuasive advertisement uses rhetorical appeal. Pathos in this advertisement is very straight forward; it wants the view to be curious but also excited with a hint of wonder or in other words it wants “to raise emotions” (Aristotle, n.d. p. 146) within a viewer. The use of Taylor Swift along with the mention of more bang for your buck, since this cream can beat ones that cost $180, would draw on a viewer’s emotion and cause them to be persuaded because their idol is advertising a product that she, Taylor Swift, is using daily to perfect her skin and it isn’t an expensive designer brand. Next we will focus on logos and its use in this advertisement. Logos is the “logical appeals [that] stress the reasonableness” (Aristotle, n.d p. 146). This advertisement relies heavily on...
