Research 2

I found the above from general googling, I thought it was pretty interesting to see an actual brief type thing of a recent sexual health campaign, maybe something we could use as a basis to compare to other current sexual health adverts? Or to help analyse what exactly government and other health agencies are looking for from graphics to promote such advice?

This is more of the same really, there are quite a  few reports, however, it says what has changed and how successful the advert has been, and again more of the same thought processes as to why some advertising campaigns were made.

This is a pretty interesting article about what I gather is one of the more current campaigns, not really that much to say about it, just seems to go hand in hand with the other two…

Another article, from a different perspective, from the church. Interesting to see the how the change of attitudes compares with the values of religion, in the sense that you could really chart the difference of typical old-fashioned attitudes to today’s contemporary ones, a clash of old values with the new? Hmm.

I couldn’t actually watch this at the time of writing this, but it sounds pretty interesting. I know it’s not strictly advertising but it’s interesting to see something a bit different that isn’t. Hopefully it can give us a better persepective into the values and attitudes of sexual health in the 40s?

This link discusses quite a few images that Joanna already posted, and talks about the attitudes and reasoning behind them at the time. Probably the best link yet!

Umm that’s it for now, I found a few more videos along the same lines as the first one, but they’re pretty long.  I’ll probably delve into them for my next post?
