Give examples of words or phrases which are specific to the style of the magazineThe language used is more slang american gansta. GZA, same shit all the time, ..

Its a black red writing on a white backround. That then makes it really easy to read.

4) What style of text is used? Is it similar to any other pages? What does it say about the image of the magazine and the audience?
I cant read the text is it really blury.. The magazine is probaly for people who dont know what to do with there life. Who then turn to rap and gansta music.

Media school front cover evaluation

1.
I don’t think my school magazine is like other school magazines. Well I changed it a bit from the normal school magazine like having pictures of the school and of happy students. I put some things in my magazine that represent real issues but at the same time lots to do with sports. I didn’t do the normal what I think (boring school magazine style). I tried and hoped succeeded using language that teenagers would appreciate.

2.
I didn’t really go to technical in my magazine. I just got some pictures in school and put them on XARA. I basically used the program for my whole front cover. I find my language is appropriate and my images are exactly that what I wrote down.

1.
I approached the task to try and do something different from a normal school magazine. I tried to do something that is relevant to now but at the same time something to do with school. I found after getting used to XARA it was fine at the beginning I did struggle a bit.

2.
I had some problems with production because I had to wait about four days until we had football practice. Then I was sure that on that day I could take the photographs that I needed. The next problem was getting the photographs onto XARA but after struggling for a few minutes I figured it out and it went smooth. About after two days I had everything done and uploaded the front cover to my blog.

3.
I waited 4 days until we had football practice because then I would be sure that everybody would be there and I could bring my camera in. Nobody minded being on the photographs so it was rather easier and they all cooperated rather well. I mean all you needed was one perfect shot and you have an effective magazine front cover.

4.
The location was easy, it was during football practice in school. The main photograph I just took in a class room. The people in my production are just normal students having a good, fun day.

5.
I had a draft layout and I followed it the way I wrote it down. Once I had the pictures it was really easy finishing it. The draft did help me give an idea of what I was going to do.

6.
I think I managed my time rather well although I waited four days for those pictures. Well I mean I did upload the cover as one of the first students. Although I did take the pictures rather late but that wasn’t really a big problem.


1.
Noting really extended my creative control I used XARA on my whole front cover and it worked just fine.

2.
Nothing extended my (creative mind) I knew what I wanted to do and through XARA that was possible.

2.

We did not hand them to the public, this was only a test front cover.




1.
I didn’t want to do a boring normal school magazine so I changed some things around. My ideas came mostly from the cover name (the-remake) basically something to do with global warming and the recession but also something tot do with school

2.
I think I did a rather good job on making my front cover as realistic as possible and using topics that are important now. My main audience would be teenagers because my magazine would not have allot that would effect the young student body.

School magazine frontcover

Britney stuff

1) Why has this image been chosen?
Well im not sure when this magazine front cover was released but she did have a brake down.
The black and white in a way shows the development she went threw

2) How has the image been cropped?
Not at all its a picture of her face
3) What type of relationship does Britney want with the audience? Is this supported by the anchorage text?
Well it says that shes been in an American tragedy so she might want the vorgiveness of the public because she did something (stupid). The Anchorage taxt does help but only if you know what she has been doing.


The Evolution of Britney Spears Part 2

1) How has the image been framed/cropped? What type of shot has been used and why?
Well i think that it hasn't been cropped because i belief that they took a picture of britney like in the picture and then fit it to the page size. It looks like an extended mid-shoot, well it shows the more sexy size that Brittney Spears has.
2) Describe Britney’s costume and pose. What type of relationship does she want with the reader?
Well she isnt really wearing a costume shes only wearing underwear and has like a bed sheet or something infront of her. Her pos is like shes trying to pull the reader to her .
3) What setting is used and what are the connotations of this?
It looks like shes between two walls or smt. Shes connating that she is a dirty american singer but at the same time shes doing that in a sexy way
4) How is lighting used?
Well basically they shineed light on her body leaving only the shadow of her body.
5) What colours are used and why?
Not many colours only white and pink showing her dirty side.
