Advertising: Score case study and wider reading We have already studied the changing representation of women in advertising but there is no doubt that the portrayal of men and masculinity has also changed significantly too. Our first advertising CSP, the 1967 Score hair cream advert, provides a compelling case study for the representation of both men and women. Notes from the lesson and the blog task are below.

This gives us an opportunity to explore the idea of gender fluidity in society and the media - plus compare the changing representation of masculinity in advertising.
