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.
