Magazine practical task research


1) The three different magazines are:

2) The reason I have chosen these three magazines is because they are fashion magazines, however they have used simple techniques to convey fashion.

The magazine that I will be using is: Modern Salon. The reason I have chosen this magazine is because it is a fashion magazine, but its main focus is hairstyling (which will be easy for the photoshoot.) This magazine tends to revolve around one main idea. They use soft, but bold colours and the model isn't in a fixed position so my model can be flexible. What reinforces this idea further is the numerous cover lines at the front and occasionally some stats so makes it different from other magazines.

3) These are the different styles of Modern Salon magazines.

We can see how this magazine is already well established as the central model is blocking the masthead. Additionally, the title is a very sophisticated serif font and tall lettering which attracts a younger female audience and as a result makes them feel elegant. You can see how they use capital letters and a larger font size (san-serif) to make the magazine cover lines stand out. The colour scheme of the front cover isn't fixed, so it alternates between every magazine, however the colour scheme matches on every magazine. They deliberately use a contrast of bold colours on lighter colours. The bold font and colours connote confidence and inspiration so this makes the audience inspired to be different and stand out.The language they use on the front cover headlines are quite formal so you can see that this isn't aimed at a child audience, more young adult females in their 20's. Direct address has been used in some of their magazines to have intimacy with the reader so the audience is more likely to connect with him, however they don't all use eye-contact. The magazines have used a mid-shot for their central image because it exposes fashion and is more likely to attract the audience. Due to this magazine specialising in hairstyles, we can see how each magazine uses a different style, but keeps it casual in some magazines.

Blog task: binary oppositions and ideology

Image
1) One example of binary opposition I can suggest from watching this clip is  immigrants vs British people .  This is clearly illustrated as Nigel argues the point about  overcrowding  as a result of immigration and the general quality of life has gone down. Another binary opposition suggested from this clip is   rich vs poor . This is seen when Nigel makes the point about the upper classes being at a  disadvantage  because of overcrowding, but Russell makes the point about how money is not being distributed in an equal way and that the poor are also at a disadvantage because of this. Furthermore, another binary opposition in this clip is   immigration vs corruption . Russell mentions how people are worried about the  shortages of resources, taking away jobs, housing, not paying taxes  because of immigrants, but Nigel is the one who is really to blame because politicians are corrupt. One other binary opposition di...

Media Factsheet 76: News Values

1) Conflict: Afghan conflict, US carried out its first air strike in response to the Taliban. Progress: Switzerland voted in favour of LGBTQ+ protection bill shows progress because it shows that the community is becoming widely accepted across the globe. Disaster: The coronavirus! A current global issue which has lead to many deaths. Consequence: London knife crime has increased fear among society. Prominence: Phillip Scofield coming out as gay has caused a lot of controversy. Many people support his decision, while others see it as 'unfaithful'.  Novelty: Kobe Bryant killed in a helicopter crash, along with his daughter and 5 others. 2) The example used in the factsheet is of a British servicewoman who died as a result of an Afghan bomb blast. This is an appropriate example  to gain prominent coverage because it reflects various news values. The fact that she is British relates to familiarity because the British army is apart of out culture.  3) Gateke...

Introduction to feminism:Case study- Everyday Sexism

1) Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism project because she realised that it was a  recurring  issue in her and almost every other women's life. Until speaking out about her experiences with others about the  sexual harassment  she gets, Laura thought it was normal due to everyone shutting her down and saying that women are equal now. However, she researched and found information that contrasts with the statement of 'women being equal' and decided to make website which enables people, men and women, from around the world to share their experiences. 2) The project links to the concept of  post-feminism  because it  unveils  the different forms of  sexual harassment  women get on a daily basis and how they experience this during a normal days  routine,  e.g. at their workplace or on their way home. In  Western societies  things are still  developing  and they still live in  patriarchy. ...
