Task 02. 

1. What is your research question?

To what extent does advertising construct our ideas of gender.

2. Do you have a hypothesis? 

Advertising has an influence and effect on our ideas of gender and society

3. What are the contexts of your research interests?

Advertising

Rationale:
My essay will be structure and answer the question 'To what extent does advertising construct our ideas of gender'. My predicted hypothesis and conclusion is that I will find that advertising does have an effect/influence on our ideas of gender and the way we view society. This will be examined through the use of academic research and psychological theories. I will use a number of sources to gather support for this essay, particularly looking at studies in gender and advertising as well as academias who have covered the same or similar topics. I will use this knowledge and apply it to the practical work to demonstrate a practical resolution to the essay. It will demonstrate my conclusion to the essay in a visual form and will hopefully provide an alternative design to what is typically expected in advertising. The success of this will be tested through specific questions being asked in feedback sessions. Therefore my essay completion is essential before starting the practical work as a conclusion is required so that I have a resolution/aim to work towards.
