H&M ad and Tide ad Representation !

Representation

 Media texts have the power to shape an audience's knowledge and understanding about these important topics.Media representations are the ways in which the media portrays particular groups, communities, experiences, ideas, or topics from a particular ideological or value perspective.

Representation has changed through out the years it always is based on what is trending at the moment. Representation in ethnicity can have many controversial messages from both sides. Some times ethnicity is portrayed in a very offensive manner or very true to the public. Sometimes gender like females are represented in a very seductive flirty type of way always showing off their body parts. While males are constantly dressed in suits showing off a business man type of attitude. Ages are also represented very differently from the rest. Usually when you have toddlers they are represented as small, constantly smiling playing with toys. While teens are represented as always rebellious and going wild at times. Representation can always be a good or bad thing in life but we representation is changing every day as we know it. 

H&M

If audiences view this representation ad they would be encountered with a diverse of cultures and not limited to any typical idea that sometimes society has.  This ad contains both genders which already intrigues both male and female. The audience will feel a sense of motivation on what to do when they no longer use cloths. Instead of throwing them away they could bring it in to H&M and have them recycle it. Making it a good cause to the environment. This ad helps audiences also feel inspired to have a different perspective with fashion. This ad lets anyone dress how they want too, showing that pink for example does not have to be a feminine color it could also be for males too.  This ad represents a lot of ethnicity not constantly limiting themselves to only whites like usual commercials do. This represents all ages showing that people are not limited to dress to only what society has them to dress up as just because they are a certain age. It demonstrates fashion in a whole new way, encouraging a new trend no matter where you come from or how old you are, or even what religion you have. This ad makes everyone come together and love fashion for how unique it is and how it can lead people to finding their style as well as themselves. 

Tide 

This ad would make audiences have a different perspective on what girls usually wear or like. This ad mostly targets females more than males. This ad would make the audience feel in a way that a girl doesn't have to always be dressed up as the typical princess or, love to be playing with dolls and constantly loving the color pink. The audience would really be having different thoughts on what the typical female gender should look like or act. It opens the audience mind that little girls can also wear camouflage colors, or play with dinosaurs and bricks. There is no limitation to kids on what they say, do, or act anymore. The audience will feel impacted because all their lives they are so use to seeing girls play in a feminine type of way but now, they will be open to the fact that girls can also like the same things boys do. The female gender viewing this will feel some sort of power because there will be a sense of equality that finally the world is viewing them as equal to man and not limit them for the gender they are born with.
