When thinking about gender roles in the visual sense, I feel as though they are portrayed with pretty heavy stereotypes. As I was flipping through the magazine Money, this pocket guide with visuals caught me eye. I noticed there were very typical gender stereotypes that were represented here. I noticed right away there was a picture of a male doctor, and a female receptionist. There is also a picture of a female fashion designer and a male business man. The only one that stood out to me as a stereotype that was not typical was the female scientist. Here is a graph that represents jobs in the modern world, but they are being represented with the normal stereotype of male and female jobs. I would have really liked to see a picture of a female doctor, or a male fashion designed. One other thing I noticed is the use of white females and males in all of these roles. Although I know these are drawings representing individuals, I would have really liked if there were other races represented on the guide.
