The Hazelwood College students found some surprising results with younger consumers actually showing a stronger awareness to such techniques when compared withnl adolescents and adults.
Their project, 'Subtle Manipulation: An investigation into people's awareness of the discreet enhancement techniques used by advertisers' in the Social and Behavioural Sciences section of the competition.

Around 50,000 people will pass through the doors of the RDS during the exhibition to get a flavour of the exciting, intriguing and mind-bending projects.
