2) Select your chosen magazine to create a new edition for and explain the thinking behind your choice.

i am going to select the magazine Empire' as my chosen magazine because its a film magazine that has a conventional magazine design and I can experiment with my models on the front cover.I want to create a new representation for women in film so I would like to create model that have a hint of androgyny that still  accentuates  Feminity . I want to create a unique front cover.

3) Find three different front covers for your chosen magazine and embed them in your blogpost. Analyse the fonts, colours and typical design. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines presented? You need to become an expert in the design and construction of this magazine and its branding.




Font:the font for the main title is big and bold and the colour blends into the colour scheme , as for the cover lines the fonts usually link to the genre of film the magazine  is featuring such as fantastical beasts that has a classic style font that goes with the genre of London Fantasy, and the last Jedi that is more sci-fi and modern
Colours: as for colours the magazine chooses three colours that will be the main focus on the front cover they all stand out and create the film genre feeling
Design: I said before that this is a conventional magazine and therefore has suspected cover lines price genre and barcodes.
Language: The language is quite modernised and works works to intrigue audiences from a younger demographic as well as still appeal to an older demographic

In one scene, a female avatar is scene to fall in to the male avatar's arms which effectively reinforces the role of submissive behaviour amongst women (bell hooks) . However in the chic boutique trailer, we can see a very feminine male who could connote to being gay which hints to positive LGBTQ representations . The trailer portrays the avatar enrolling in 'Sim High' which is a social standard for young adolescents . This is a rather neut...

Activity Does the media have the power to change peoples’ behaviour, attitudes or promote values and ideologies?  depending on how raw and real the content is i personally think that the media cant effectively change peoples behaviour, attitudes etc... 1.

Are you violent in ‘real life’? i do play some violent video games and i have watched and so see violent films often but i dont see myself as someone who wants to go out and copy violent acts out on people in public. 2. Do you ever see a product advertised on TV or on the internet and decide you want to buy it yes  i have had the desire to buy something but i never usually do because its never too desirable for me. 3.
