ADS OF THE PAST - DID THEY REALLY SAY THAT?















We all know that ads have been around longer than many of us. Some ads in the 50's and 60's used some great design concepts and had some pretty good messages, whereas other ads, make one wonder and ask, "were they joking?" Take a look at these ads closely and comment on each message that you see. Some will surprise you. Give us your opinion of the ads telling us whether or not you think the messages are appropriate. What do you think allowed these types of ads to run? What might these ads suggest about society in America at the time? Can you compare these ads with the ads that are running today? What do you suppose these ads say about gender roles? Use your analytical skills to process what you see.
