Magazines: Front cover production task - learner response

 Create a new blogpost called 'Magazine cover learner response' and complete the following tasks:


1) Add your finished magazine cover as a JPEG image.


2) Type up your feedback from your teacher. If you've received this by email, you can copy and paste it across - WWW and EBIs. You don't need to include a mark or grade if you don't want to.

WWW: good use of simple image, colour scheme


EBI: Masthead has drop shadow, not exactly the same typography, more ambitious 

3) Consider your mark against the mark scheme above. What are the strengths of your production based on the the mark scheme? Think about magazine cover conventions and the media language techniques you have used to communicate with your audience (e.g. mise-en-scene, camera shot etc.)

It was accurately made with a few details that either need to be removed or worked on.

Lack of direct address makes the cover seem more authentic as in the actual magazines they do not show direct address in terms of the image.


4) Look at the mark scheme again. What can you do to move your mark higher and, if required, move up a level?

Make a more ambitious cover as this one was a bit too simple.


5) What would be one piece of advice you would give a student about to start the same magazine cover project you have just completed? 

Make a different magazine cover with more advanced techniques in order to show off photoshop skills more.

MIGRAIN: Feminist theory

Read  Playing With The Past: Post-feminism and the Media  ( MM40 , page 64 - our  Media Magazine archive is here ) 1) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)? Marvel's Captain marvel and Cat woman were the two texts that were the ones that appeal to the "male gaze". 2) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form? I think that this shows that people just need a better view for what feminism was like in it's initial stage of when there was an actual use of having equal rights and such instead of just saying that men are more dominant and need more oppression. 3) Choose three words/phrases from the glossary of the article and write their definitions on your blog. Simulacrum: a likeness, or similarity; an image which replaces the reality with its representation.
