Induction Task


Representation of Genders in the media




Cobie Smulders Women's health


This magazine cover shows Cobie Smulders without a top hugging herself. She's shown as a sexual object as she is wearing nothing but short shorts and is  standing side on smiling at the camera. This is used to attract the male gaze.







YG'S True magazine cover









The male gender is presented as "thuggish" and intimidating due to the iconography used in the pictures, such as the jewellery and by the males throwing up gang symbols. YG wears red while lil wayne forms his hand in a p shape. These are both references to the blood gang in which they are both members of. In the last picture we see soldier boy(On the left) accompanied by 50 cent (on the right). 50 is wearing a t-shirt mask which added to his muscular built makes him look menacing. Soldier boy on the other hand is not wearing a mask but is covered in jewellery and tattoos. They are both wearing expensive watches.
