Need Your Help Guys!

[Jamster]

Hey Guys,

Doing a dissertation for college on how print advertising can be indirectly aimed at children for mass profit. As fellow designers, if you have any comments or opinions. I would appreciate any feedback.

I also might be touching on wether or not print advertising of this type has been 'sexualised' in recent times and the designer's stance on this. Again, any feedback would be great. Its nothing serious, but your opinions would be very helpful to my work.

Cheers,
Jamster.

I think certain advertising can be indirectly aimed at children but really when something is meant for children its usually more about product placement. For example in petrol stations, they dont have sweets at the counters just to use that space you know, same with supermarkets, having sweets low down and at the till encourages kids to beg mummy for one.
