task 2

For this task, I chose the illustrative route of graphics and decided to pick an image that relates to the feminist theory from this lecture. I chose an illustrative piece that was created by ‘Polly Nor’ where she focuses on women and their demons. In my opinion, I feel like this piece relates to the feminist theory the most as it is focusing on the roles of women and what goes on. In the image shown it shows the woman in the picture taking a selfie in the mirror only wearing her underwear whilst a demon which actually appears to be her demon is hugging her from behind. This could show that the demon is making her take the picture, but the demon could be representing society and the constant pressure it has on women for them to try and look perfect all the time and flaunt this by posting on social media.

This image on the other hand is from a women’s magazine which links to the first image because it’s a magazine that influences woman to make them feel like they need to look perfect because on the front cover, it shows a woman who is skinny and beautiful which can put the audience, who are mainly women, under a lot of pressure to feel the need to look like this all the time as on a lot of magazines this is a normal front cover so it can be something that is unavoidable in the advertisement industry.
