Media Image Analysis

This ad is stating how the social norm for a female dancer is to wear pink, and the silly ruffle pieces, but the ad influences the choice to break it. It is a new service provided by Nike that allows a dancer to get on and customize their dancing apparel instead of having to wear the typical pink too-too. In the ad, it starts with a question, that is answer in the ad itself, but it gets the consumer to think of how the answer would be for them. It also has the word "modern", which is showing that Nike is attempting to break the stereotype of pink by referring to breaking the standard as modern. While at the same time using words like "me" and "my" in order to present a sense of individuality. In the ad it also shows a model wearing an out of norm style, while in the warm up process for dance. 

Back in the day

Ew, I do not want that! ITS PINK! I always thought that pink was the primary girl color, and any boy seen with anything pink was a traitor. I grew up with a brother who was only two years older than me, and he taught me what was cool, what was not, and if I ever had second guesses I went to him. We played with most of the same toys growing up, and we were always staying away from any pretty pink barbie dolls. Boys did not play with those, we played with action figures and Tonka trucks!
