Notes about my first advert

My first advert was for Williams shaving cream from the 1920s. It had a large picture of two men and two women playing cards together. The men are in tuxedos and seem suave and sophisticated. They have obviously used Williams shaving cream as they do not appear to have any hair on their faces. They are both looking at the women, each man at a different one. They are represented as clean cut, important and happy men who are enjoying an evening with their girlfriends or wives. There is a cigarette dish on the table, with a cigarette in it, this is because before people knew of the dangers of cigarettes it was very cool to smoke. This shows that these men are being represented as an ideal man of the era, with a woman by his side, a smart tuxedo, sophisticated, and a smooth fine face. It is heavily implying that he has become that man because of he uses Williams shaving cream.

Shortlist or Final advert choices

For my adverts from the 1920s, 1990s/1980s and 2012 I found a few of each, but I have made my mind up about the 1920s advert. It is a aftershave advert for men, by Williams.

                                                                   
















A have a few choices for my 1990s/1980s advert. The first advert is a fragrance advert for men by Giorgio Armani. My other choice is a fragrance advert for men called break the rules.

                                                           

My 2012 advert choices were put on my previous post.

Research

For research of 1920s, 1990s and 2012 adverts I searched for fragrance posters from each era. It was hard to find any good posters for 1920s fragrance, but I found quite a few for 1990s. I found a few good fragrance adverts on youtube. Here they are:

One of these could be one of my choices.
