Proffesional Views

For our project I think we should get a professionals' perspective on advertisements that are aimed at children and the effects.
For example we could contact a child psychologist and pre and primary school teachers.

I have came up with some ideas :)

As part of our research, i think it will be great to do a survey and draw a graph with it to see the trend.
Also, we can go to the children toy shops to see how some toys are not appropriate for young children.

We can discuss when we will meet up again on monday.

Day 1

This is the first day of our Advertising Project.

We chose to do our project specifically on how children are being advertised by the media as well as the effects of the media on their behaviour and development.
This week in English we watched a revealing documentary called Killing Us Softly 3 which gave us a new perspective on daily advertising. For example, how women, men and children were manipulate. What caught our attention the most was how children were being moulded into our modern society's expectations. This is where our inspiration began and our journey begins to explore the world of advertisement of children.
