Portfolio Poster
Assignment Objective:
Engage in communication inquiry
Assignment Description:
Using Google Collection, a topic of our choice was analyzed using a particular theory. The top 20 children's toys on Amazon in 2018 were analyzed for the female identity. These posts can be found at the following link: https://currents.google.com/collection/EO9rdE.
Following this semester-long process, students were instructed to create a poster that displayed their research and findings. I found that females overwhelmingly assumed a hyper-sexualized mother-figure, located in a private setting and modeling toys meant to replicate more domestic, feminine products. The most challenging aspect of this project was presenting this information in a concise manner, as is clear from the size of my text.
