1962 Avon Print Ad
representation of Man: white, middle aged and well groomed. wearing what looks like a suit gives the impression of success and wealth. His expression of smugness and satisfaction adds to the idea of an 'easy lifestyle'.
representation of Woman: white, younger than the man and also well groomed. Her obviously styled hair and colour coordinated outfit implies an organised and successful life/marriage. Her position in the ad leaning on and embracing the man gives the impression she is attracted too him whilst spraying the product as if demonstrating it. The way she is looking at him as if waiting for him to approve her sums up the mentality at the time of women relying on men and being the submissive 'housewife' figure.

representation of Man: white but tanned, around the age of 40, clean shaven but with a slightly rugged complexion. Clearly a sailor on a boat on the ocean and sporting a captain's hat and waterproof type jacket. His expression is self assured and confident with one eyebrow raised. His hand holing the cigarette in a relaxed way adds coolness. He is presented as leader by being 'captain' in a macho way.
