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.

Everyone is able to understand them because the image or word clearly implies that its about a specific topic or object. Global brands may avoid using symbols when advertising and marketing as some symbols don't mean the same in other countries because they may be cultural t...

Media Blog 1

I chose A level media as I love to be able to infer because there is no limit. I didn't do GCSE media studies. I am unsure about my path after sixth form so that is why I study subjects that I enjoy/ find interesting. . I have an app on my phone which sends notifications about local new stories. The last film i watched was Venom. Skins is my favourite series. I spend around 3-5 hours on my phone; i know that this is way too much.

Maybelline 'That Boss Life': case study & wider reader

Close-textual analysis: Cinematography: camera shots and movement: Zooms- fast paced, draws in audience, audience involvement, mimics vlogging. Tracking zoom when their makeup is done. Close up of the product (mascara)- enhances the success of it. Close up of the eyes- demonstrates the product in use and how good it is. Narrative & Genre: narrative theory and sub-genre: Heroes; they give a transformative influence (quest). Quest to get mascara- luxury/quest for fame /perfect. The bell boy is considered as the 'donor'- he gives them the gold suitcase. Mise-en-scene: costume and props: Juxtaposition between costumes. Intertextuality/ parody- mascara is treated like money- excess/ wealth/ priceless. The product features in most shots- this reinforces then synergy/ focus. The suitcase is a reference to an action movie code- quest/ mission success. Gold motif. Mise-en-scene: actors, setting, lighting and colour: Stereotypical 'camp' effem...
