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.

CASE STUDY: everyday sexism

1)Laura Bates created the 'Everyday Sexism' project in order to speak out about sexual harassment and to destroy the normalisation of it. 2)This project links to post-feminism as it trys to encourage gender equality. Although women's rights have become more significant, they aren't as strong as men's rights. Feminism is necessary in today's society as women are sexually exploited on a daily basis and society often normalises it. 3)Technology was essential to the success of this project as it made it easy to spread the word by sharing and the use of hashtags. 4)I believe that the Everyday Sexism project will be required for a while in the future as sexual exploitation has been normalised therefore, we may not be able to change other peoples views and opinions. MEDIA MAGAZINE: the fourth wave? 1)Networked feminism is when it is divided into 'waves'; they explain the different contexts behind them culturally. It started when feminism came about. Femin

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. For example, the only male is holding a gun; this could assert his masculinity and automatically give him all of the power. Also, it could be see as a phallic symbol; the women are all reaching up to him to get their hands on him. This could be seen as sexual as all of the women want him. Also, the cost
