Youth

Describe the representation of of youth in the two posters. What are the connotations of the two texts?






Both texts have youths leaning as a group with their backs on the wall. Both these posters are very similar is layout and purpose. We can see that 'this is england' has the tag line "Stand out from the crowd" Contrasting with the image with is a crowd/group of youths all looking very different and independant. This was a time when independance was a big issue so in both posters we can see even though they are in a group that every single one of the characters are trying to stand out of the group with their certain individuality in their mannar etc.












Choose a sub-culture from the 50's, 60's or 70's and research into them. Create a character profile about them including images to support (much like the ones you find for music magazines, such as NME). What were their ideologies, attitudes and beliefs? How were they identified? what brands were identified with them? What music did they listen to?
