Magazine cover publication

1)This magazine cover that I have created is a copy of a cover by the same brand which inspired me. I wasn't able to find the exact text font as the original magazine.

2) This is the magazine cover that inspired me; I didn't copy it exactly. I used the aspect of not having much text on the cover as I believe that it creates a sense of wonder for the audience. Also, I liked the fact that they used two models.















3) The strongest part of my magazine cover is the monochromatic aspect as it makes it look very simple but classy (which was my aim). Also, the lighting of the picture is very good as there are no shadows in the background.
4)The weakest part of my magazine cover is the font. I didn't use the same fonts as they actually use. Also, the text isn't the same size as the original.
5) If I had the opportunity to recreate my magazine cover, I would definitely spend more time on trying to find the exact font that the used or at least make it look abit more similar. Also, I would decrease the contrast of the picture.

Score Advert

Wider reading: 1. In the 1960s, advertising techniques were shown in a time of new and improved way to advertise. Back then, advertising agencies focused on the creativity when planning their campaigns. Score reflects that change as it focuses more on gender roles and sexuality more than it focuses on the product itself. It is significant as the advert symbolises how women were; it objectified the women because they are admiring the male while they carry him- this signifies the fact that men are dominant. 2. During the post war period, campaigns included the idea that women should stick to being housewives. 3. The props that are used in this advert reinforce the idea of gender roles.
