So the other day, Dr. Hollist posted images that were taken from the media. Many were images from fashion advertisments. Now, I am a fashion merchandising major and marketing minor so these had a large impact on me personally. When i see these images, i always take into account the way in which these are made and the context underwhich they are created and designed. So my view of them is actually very different than the majority of the population. This also made me realize my skewed idea of these advertisments. After stepping back for a moment and realizing the kind of impact these images have on children really made me ashamed. I purchase several fashion magazines a month because I am required to be up to date on current trends and ideas. This has made me oblivious to their alternate effect. I am hoping in my future career I will be able to have an impact on the position of these images and be able to create a more positive view for the children of the future.
