Week Four – Targeting and Constructing Teen Culture in Advertising

This image of a Sun-In print advert from the 1990’s appeared in Bustle’s online article, “9 Creepy Pieces Of Beauty Advice Women Got From ’90s Magazines”, available at https://goo.gl/xsJPhC. It has been criticised for playing into stereotypes about antagonistic relationships between teenage girls.

Below, your name is listed next to a decade. For class discussion in Week 7, find an advert from that decade that targets teens or constructs ideas about teens and teen culture. In your comment, include a link to the image and a one to two paragraph (maximum) response to one of the following questions:

Explain how visual elements are employed in an advert of your choice to target a specific teenage audience

or

Consider the particular ideas about teen culture that have been constructed through the use of specific visual elements in an advert of your choice

Gender, culture and product/service are up to you. Please make sure that you link to a high res image, and provide as much bibliographical information as possible.
