Your first thoughts

Advertising


Your ideas are very broad at the moment and need focus. You need to think about one specific area of advertising, and then you need to decide what you want to investigate. How about, for example, looking at beauty products and exploring whether or not the advertising attempts to make women insecure about their looks etc, and if this is successful? This would lead nicely on from your work on magazines.

I don’t have any similar essays to show you but I do think this would be a good idea for your study.

Begin by taking a look at the articles here:
