Research has begun into the background of my poster, and the advertising which is at its heart!
I am looking into the subliminal messaging, motivational advertising, and body shaming.
It is hard to evenly argue both sides without sounding like you prefer one side.
Analysing the cultural text itself.
‘Hand Made in Prison
Today in critical perspectives we were analysing a previous cultural text essay that was written by a student about ‘hand-embodied cushion’. A cushion that was made by prisoners whilst being held in jail, as a task to improve their technical lifeskill, in a hope to give them a trade so as to stop them re-comitting, and coming back into the prison system.
The writer of this post made some very valid points, cross referencing various authors and their works, to over all give a detailed description, and the end, another detailed conclusion on her reasons for believing in a certain way.

Are You Beach Body Ready?
After much debate i have finally chosen my cultural text!
Back in 2015, a company called The Protein World published an advert for their weightless supliments. It caused an unbelievable amount of backlash, as the advert itself features a gorgeous, athletic blonde, wearing a very minimal bikini. Over the course of the summer whilst it was displayed, over 40% were vandalised!
