patriotism in the names - sweet for women and quality for man and the success of the man.

 all characters are seen as higher class through the suits and ornate paintings.

Persuasive Language Techniques - alliteration and emotive language  of delicious dilemma.  Repetition of the word 'delicious' to emphasise the flavour and to link the readers ideology of the brand to be positive. Also so it rolls of your tongue - is nice to say out loud.

Images - they connote class and formality to uphold the brand even though it is cheap enough for middle class people.

The characters are higher class by the classy golden picture and  clothes they wear ( suit and dresses)

the 'delicious dilemma ' is  either between which sweet to pick out of eighteen or which lady to choose. This is emphasised with the way the women are objectified to match the sweets with the colour of their hair and dresses.

Triangular geometric composition. to help secondary anchorage.

anchorage of gold frame with connotations of a halo effect on the man and product.



The Quality Street advert uses the image to uphold the classy brand ideology, Their clothing ( suits and formal dresses) indicate the characters are upper class and are wealthy - making them aspirational for working middle class families. The intricate design and gold of the picture frame give connotations of a ' halo effect' which makes the man and sweets seem important. All of the characters are focused on the sweets also giving it a regal light.

Mantras

'hot and not bothered'

challenges the stereotypes that women have to wear full makeup and not break a sweat even at the gym. It encourages women that they are attractive even when sweaty and hot, and shouldn't be fearful of judgement.     




The use of the colour palette - blue and yellow - coordinates with the drink. The neon yellow connotes energy and grabs the viewers attention.

The image of Gareth Bale - a popular footballer connects the brand to sports and athleticism and shows the audience that they can perform like him with the Lucozade.

The text uses a hyperbole to exaggerate the effects of the drink and to persuade the viewers. They also use the hashtag to believe to encourage the audience of how well they can do athletically. also uses direct address to target their audience and persuade them.

opinion as fact .


uses the hashtag on social media to promote other products. 




positive representation of women - repetition of 'good' to encourage women of their ability.

blue and pink to challenge gender representation of colour. highlighting better for it in pink to show women can be

1 - this girl can. 

2 - to break stereotypes of women in sport and motivate them to start working out. 

3- 12th January 2015 2016

4 - fear of judgement - stereotypes of women in sport.












  1 - they are playing sport ( sprinting, climbing ropes, getting ready to run)

  2 -  they are wearing sports gear - showing their physique through clothes that promote confidence and strength. 

   3 -  all have their hair up / no makeup or natural looking makeup - no sexualisation or focus on makeup as it is not the intended purpose.

   4 -  colour palette of neon colours like pink, green and blue - to pull your focus to the women

   5 -  positive use of words like 'good' and 'better' to encourage girls that they can do it. The word choice of crown connotes power and royalty.

6 -  showing that they could be all labels side by side - popular but also athletic and strong in their femininity


In the Nike and Adidas posters, women were represented as sporty and confident. Which was suggested by the use of sportswear that did not sexualise women but promoted a healthy relationship with their body by the exposure of skin.They also decided to portray them as wearing their hair up and having no/natural makeup as an anti stereotypical way to show women to be confident  and not have to glam up just to go to the gym. They use Jessica Ennis - a well known athlete to encourage women to join her in working out.    

However in the this girl can advert women are represented humane and realistic with the use of the baggy clothing indicating that these women do not fear being judged. They also are portrayed to be sweating with messy hair to show that this is natural to sweat as it shows you have worked hard. They use a woman who isn't a celebrity to make the viewers feel down to earth and able to work as hard as others who aren't professional.
