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.

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.

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.

This is important because if you go somewhere that you aren't allowed to enter, it could result into you getting into a lot of trouble or even danger. This is an icon. the majority of the society would recognise this icon anywhere and they would know that it is the icon that represents instagram, a popular social media application. This is a symbol . although it doesn't immediately imply anything, people know that this is a sign for disabled people. It may mean that there is disabled access. Icons and indexes are important because they portray a message for us to understand. 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...

Reception Theory

The preferred reading is what the creator wants the audience to think about their advert. In this advert, the preferred reading is that Reebok is unique and it makes you a better person; I know this from the copy “I am what I am”. It is a bold statement which is written in bold writing so that it is clear and you can see it. The  negotiated reading is a mixture between what the reader intends to portray and also a connotation that the reader didn't mean to give off to the audience, this could be a negative reading. Some people may say that it’s inspirational as there is a picture of 50 Cent and also a quote from him. However, he was involved in a lot of crime therefore, people could be influenced as he is well known for bad things as well as good things. The oppositional reading is the reading that the creator didn’t intend to make the reader think, this is negative. Some people may say that Reebok are promoting crime due to the finger prints as it connote criminality ...
