Document Summary
Imaged based culture advertising and popular culture. The marketplace is a major influence on the consumer society. In the 1920s, advertising non essential products became a growing problem: this is when printing and colour photography was introduced, it was the 1920s that determined people must be integrated into advertising messages. The people in advertisements are not real but rather. When more advanced imagery was introduced, it was thought people couldn"t representations of people properly decode complex messages: therefore, the advertising industry had to educate as well as sell, being taught how to read commercials/advertisements . In todays world, all advertising messages are persuasive. Advertising and the good life: image and reality. A market society is guided by the principal that satisfaction should be achieved via the marketplace and through institutions: advertising will promote images of what the audience conceives of as.
