'Representations of You' Yr 12 Homework

Create a 'mood board' which you think represents you as an individual. This should be at least A3 in size and could comprise any or all of the following, plus of course anything else that you think is representative of you:

• photographs of you now, as a child, with family, on holiday etc


• images of musical/ fashion or other interests


• things you like doing/ eating/


• things to do with your family/ culture etc.

There should be lots of different images so that we can get a good idea of all the things that make you who you are.

This is due for your next lesson with me.

Yr 12 Representations of Women in Advertising

Your task is to research the statement ' Does Sexism Still Exist in Advertising?'. You have been allocated specific decades in which to look at the changing face of the representation of women in ads (both print and TV) which will be presented back in the first of next week's lessons. You will then make an assessment about whether the regulations and changes in society which we have begun exploring have in fact meant a positive change for women's representation in advertising. Please also create a blog for this topic and post your findings to it.
