· I would think women who buy makeup.
· Women who need to get out their feelings and see different opinions on different topics
· Women in their late 20’s.
2. What adjectives would you use to describe the Web page? (initial reaction, the voice of the speaker, the colors, objects)
· At first when the girl is in the room, it seems like she is in a 'princess' like room that has everything she wants. She has on crazy eye makeup and the lipstick is a bright pink not just a neutral color. Everything seems rich and perfect.
· I did not really understand what this magazine was trying to do. It was very scattered. Not many colors.
· I had no clue American Apparel was so skimpy in what their models wore. It was kind of weird because I would see these pictures of half naked women and then a picture of a grocery store would come up or a dog.
· Everything is black except for the lipstick or perfume. The women seemed to be flawless. The text is just black and simple except for the new lipstick which they write in the lipstick. I think it effects the audience by saying you can be a classy as this lady if you buy our product.
· I feel like it was kind of scattered and not many colors at all. The articles went straight down so it made it easier to keep reading. The titles were a lot bigger and then it would have a little summary underneath to see if I would want to read it.
· Everything was mainly black or a light gray except for the pictures. It made you focus a lot on the pictures. That was the biggest thing on the page. Sort of like in all the other websites.
4. What kind of information is being given? What is emphasized or downplayed?
· That if you were this makeup you will look as good as these women. However, not every person has any blemishes or perfect skin.
· The hot topics of women related topics are being talked about. They don’t say the other viewpoint.
· Information about the pictures is being displayed and the different links to navigate. Basically everything else but the slideshows were being downplayed.
5.What are the goals of the page?
· To try and sell there product by saying how you will look great and people will like you even better. You might even be famous like this one lady in the advertisement
· To give people topics to vent or bitch about I think.
· To say that American Apparel is really what Americans where because we have real pictures.
6. Rhetorical: How do you feel about the role of women in each ad? How would you feel if each Web site had the same commercial but featured a man instead of a woman?
· I think it is not really how women dress every day. I think I would feel the same way.
7. Try to find a Web site or a product ad online that challenges the cliche identities both women and men in advertisements. Ads or media that show gender roles in new ways. Bring these to class with you on Monday either online or as written descriptions.
