  Advertising case study 1: OMO print advert 1) The advert was produced in 1955 2) In most adverts in the 1950s, women were presented as domestic, with a role of being housewives, and being inferior to their husbands and other men. 3) The heading message and typography promote the product due to the fact that is a washing product and is presented as being able to clean to a completely new level that has never been seen before. It promotes the product also as being necessary and therefore encourage people [women] to buy it. 4) The costume of the woman actively presents her as a housewife as she has a rag thrown over her shoulder.

Advertising and Marketing: Key conventions 1) Some key conventions of print adverts are unique typography, a use of bright colours and contrast as well as a slogan. For example, a range of colours is used in the Skittles advert in order to bring attention to the product, which is represented through a pack shot in the centre of the advert. The unique font and typography are consistent throughout all of the adverts, which make the product recognisable and eye-catching to consumers. The background of the Skittles advert also further introduces the idea of a rainbow and links it to the slogan, 'Taste The Rainbow', which might connotate ideas of multiple flavours and a bright product. It might seem attractive to consumers and more delicious because of this. These will communicate to the audience feelings of positivity and an inclination to buy the product because of colour, a catchy slogan and a bright pack shot of the product.  2) The USP of the product might be the theme of rainb
