Magazine practical task

Planning

Idea 1:

Side view shot of vape, vape is multicoloured with a background of a different hue. Vape and wall are cut to form different layers.

Idea 2:

Same idea as above but with different hues and a front view shot.

Idea 3:

Front shot of my standing with scribble art outline and also different scribble art designs.


Idea 2 is my preferred Idea as I believe it's more interesting.
The shot will contain me (actor) in casual clothing with natural lighting from the right, the shot will also contain vape as a prop. 

I would like to use this kind of framing with similar colours 

This colour scheme with a psychedelic theme

I enjoy the look of old music magazines, the look and lighting is something I want to mimic for my magazine.

Planning

1) The idea is going to be around mental creativity and freedom

2) I will need a forward facing shot with vape covering my face, the shot will also have the smoke and the wall having different hues to give a psychedelic feeling to the image. 

3) PSYCHEDELIC FANTASIES
    THE INDEPENDENT FASHION MAGAZINE

4) Sketch out your cover on plain A4 paper using your written planning. Take a photo of your sketch and embed it in your blogpost.
Publication to blog and analysis

2) Write an evaluation of your work: have you succeeded in your brief to create a new, original edition of an existing magazine?:

 I do believe that I have managed to create a new original edition of a magazine, the main inspiration for the magazine cover was INDIE magazine, their designs and colour schemes were something I wanted to replicate but with my own twist to it. While the coour scheme may not stand out as much as INDIE magazines may, I do believe I managed to capture the same minimalistic design as other covers.

 3) Put your cover alongside a couple of genuine covers of your chosen magazine. How professional is your work alongside genuine examples?








The colour schemes from INDIE Magazines are far more professional, along with that I do believe that the positioning of the text and the overall design from INDIE Magazines is far more professional looking. But overall I do believe I have managed to create a relatively professional looking magazine cover.

 4) What is the strongest aspect of your work?:

 I believe that the overall design is the strongest aspect of my work, the colour scheme and maybe the font used could be improved on.

 5) What is the weakest aspect of your Photoshop magazine cover? :
There are a few mistakes with the making of some of the layers, and maybe I could have used a better colour scheme.

 6) What would you do differently if you completed this assignment again?

 I would maybe choose a better colour pallet and may spend more time ironing out the small mistakes

Audience theory Task

Image
1) Read this  Mail Online article about the effects of videogames . How does this article link to the hypodermic needle model?  The article published by mail online (a media outlet apart of the daily mail) is heavily linked with the hypodermic needle theory mainly due to the fact that the article adds to the belief that video games are linked to aggression, the way the article has been written would suggest to parents that allowing their child to play such games could lead to them being aggressive when they're older 2) How does coverage of the Talk Talk hacking case (see Daily Mail front page below) link to the hypodermic needle model? Why might someone  criticise  this front page?   The front page of the daily mail article around the talk talk hacking case is a perfect example of the hypodermic needle theory. On the front page of the Daily Mail (a right-wing media outlet) article, there were keywords used that suggest that they want to inject certain images and beliefs on cer

MIGRAIN: Audience theory - Effects debate factsheet

1) Complete the questions in the first activity box (beginning with 'Do you play violent games? Are you violent in real life?') a)  Do you play violent video games and/or watch violent films? Are you violent in ‘real life’? I do play violent video games, and watch violent movies often, I do not believe that I am violent. b) Do you ever see a product advertised on TV or on the internet and decide you want to buy it? I only ever purchase an item advertised on TV if it somewhat has something to do with what I need or want (e.g. if a new video game came out and i see it advertised on TV, I may purchase it) c) Have you ever seen a documentary which has drawn your attention to an issue which you now feel strongly about? There are multiple documentaries that have drawn my attention to serious matters around the world, very recently I watched a documentary about the Rohingya  Muslim crisis, the documentary brought my attention to what truly was happening. 2) What are the four c

Representing ourselves: blog task

1) Read the article and summarise each section in one sentence, starting with the section 'Who are you?' Who are you?: With most things we do, we try to create a perception of ourselves, whether it be online or in person. I think, therefore I am: In the past we were constricted to multiple different social aspects to define who we are as people and our social roles. But with the development of the digital age we all have a voice and oppurtunity to become something more. The rise of the individual: In the second half of the 20th century people began to try and be more individual and to be unique. Advertisers took advantage of this mindset and create advertisements that would state their products could help people find and select their individuality. Branding and Lifestyle: In the 70's and 80's the importance of brands began to rise, this led to producers to sell a perosnality they associated with that brand. Who will we be ?: Due to the rise of th
