Magazine Front Cover analysis


At home with he king of the wild Frontier

 Jack white' magazine cover portrays more names in the cover than anything else. Things that stand out are his name mostly since its the biggest item on the magazine and the other names placed around his picture. The colour scheme is Red, Black, Blue, White. Since May 22, Yemen has used the simple tricolour: black is said to stand for the dark days of the past. White represents a bright future and red, the blood of the struggle to achieve independence and unity. Similar flags have been used by: Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and The Sudan.

Representation

Jack White is being portrayed as pretty serious and dark due to his facial expressions and the clothes he is wearing. His stance also suggests some sort of high status and dominance.

Audience

The audience seems like it may be the adults or older generation. Anyone interested in the global issues of society due to the fact that one of the things planted on the magazine includes,"Whatever became of the vaccines?" and so this tells me its more of a rant and/or political opinion type magazine that may portray his thoughts on certain social situations around the world.

Genre

I believe this is a "Lifestyle and culture magazine."


Pride

Georgina Campbell' magazine portrays a few rhetorical questions which suggests he want the audience to take a look at themselves and think about, for example, "How self-centred are you?" The things on the magazine cover that hooks my attention is title "Pride"due to the fact that it is the biggest thing on the cover. Pride suggests that you need to become more confident and to help you do that you might need to use the product to feel better and have more pride. The different colours being used. Purple and white mainly. These colours may not have any specific meaning apart from the fact that they look nice however, purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The colour purpleis often associated with royalty, nobility and luxury as well as pride, peace,independence and dignity,therefore,that may be the reason behind the choice of colour.  

Representation



Georgina Campbell is portrayed as quite confident and positive due to her facial expressions and action of her finger being near her lip in a way that may suggest seduction in a way.

Audience


The audience may be the female gender specifically due to the fact that this may be in reference to the equality movement in terms of rights given to women and so may be a magazine that's aim is to empower women and give them a voice.Make them more confident with themselves and give them the mindset that they are important and beautiful but not too elf-centred either.

Genre

I believe this is a "Fashion magazine."

Explore representations of gender in "Riptide" (2013) [HELP]

Explore representations of gender in " Riptide " ( 2013 ) Women in this music video are being portrayed as easily manipulated and sexually objectified due to the fact that there is a scene that shows the female character being dragged into the darkness, after that scene, it jump-cuts to her make-up being smeared, which shows that the physical abuse is taking a toll on her psychological health. Furthermore, as the music video goes on, the woman is shown to be  hypnotised shortly after in a different scene,  and then it jump-cuts to the makeup on the girls face getting even more messed up, suggesting that every time some sort of advantage is being taken from the woman and it is gradually degrading her inside, and her emotional strength is being damaged. This highlights a valuable and fundamental issue in society, maybe a gesticulation of domestic abuse and the effects this can have on the females, giving a chance to spread awareness on such issues. Women are being port

Kiss Of The Vampire [HELP]

Carried and supported by the male character, typically like a damsel in distress. This was supported with the movies leading up to this time period where women were always seen as the character that needed rescuing. However the male character also has his hand up, suggesting he's protecting himself from something, which shows his vulnerability too. Guy on the bottom right on his knees and head back; quite submissive.  Her head is back which suggests vulnerability and a sense that she is being sexualized; tight dress too. DOES SHOW A SENSE OF OBJECTIFICATION This poster was a made in the 1960's; the time when women were starting to be objectified. A sexual revolution, with the introduction of abortion laws, marriage laws, contraception. They were given more freedom.  The tags of wives were no more, it was now girlfriends and partners. There was also a second wave of feminism that came into play at this time too, where women were made more powerful the before. Looki

Magazine [SAME] Double Page and Front Cover Analysis

Image
It is clear that the magazine is exploring the wonders of the milky way and ultimately, the unknown of astronomy beyond the human vision. And so, therefore, the correlation of the front cover and the double page spread is that they both have indistinguishable features of looking at the milky way. The double page spread is giving instructions on how to observe, and the best way to capture the milky way; via using a tripod and the front cover is actively showing the milky way and giving you hints that this is the content that will be shown throughout the magazine. Therefore, the designers are making clear links to each other. On the front cover, there already is a mass amount of writing in small font; a verbal code and symbolic code (images of the universe), that portray what is going to be discovered within the magazine. Therefore, the fact that inside, the amount of writing and imagery there is are both plentiful is to be expected and understood. So the designer
