The layout of this magazine is that the only writing is lifestyle and the picture is large. The colours on the magazine are very dull because there are only two colours and the picture is not very lively which means it wont attract many people.  The model who has got a rope round the cow is smiling while pulling it along. The langauge used on this magazine is not very appealing because there isnt many words.
The font on this this magazine doesnt pull you in a make you want to read it.     
The layout of this magazine is squashed together and all the writing is next to each other. The colours on this magazine are bright because it is all pink, white and black this is eye catching and pulls in the ready and sudjests it is is girly. The celeb on the magazine is kim kardashian and she it half way through taking her top. The language used on this magazine is very girly and only really appears to girls.  The font on this magazine trys to pull people in and want to read more.

Questions to apply to my cover

Questions to apply to my cover

1. What 2 conventions have I used & why?

Q. On my magazine I have a celebrity on the cover in this case Kim Kardashian. Doing this I would've hoped to pull people in as she is an idol to alot of people and people would buy my magazine to look like her.

2. What are the effects of my layout, typography, colour choice and language choice?
Q. The layout of my magazine has a asymmetrical balance and orderly placed. The colours i chose on my magazine would appeal to the teenage girl audience because they stand out and are elegant. The typography used, is very attractive to teenage girls, as the title text is curved and elegant which is attractive to women.

3.What issues of representation have i presented?

Q. I have presented Kim kardashian is a classy way and she is with the latest fashions. This then gives an idea to the readers that Kim is always classy and is up with the fame tips. The celebrity or model may not be doing the things the text said and this could be very misleading to the teenage target audience. These issues could be representing the celebrity wrong therefore the audience will not want to buy the magazine and will think badly about the magazine.

Magazine Balances

This magazine is symmetrical because David Beckham is posing and if you were to cut the magazine in half he would look the same on either side     
This magazine has good asymmetrical balance in shape because the detailed shape (Oprahs Hair) is against the dull background 

This magazine is symmetrical because megan fox is posing in a way    
This colour balance of this magazine is asymmetrical because the colours are oppersite (black-white)  
The layout of this magazine is all bunched together around the woman to fit as much in as possible     

AMBER

This is a good start and you have the basics here. However, this does not have a huge amount of detail and you will need to explain your answer more.

10 Album Covers
I chose Tinie Tempah-Discovery because it shows that he has the whole world in his arms which could mean he is the ruler of the world









I chose the Clyde Carson-Slow Down album because he is showing that he has a lot of money by the chains, jewellery, watch and clothes he's wearing








I chose the Sage the gemini-Gas Pedal album because there is the back of a yellow Lamborghini which could show they have a lot of money or have class









I chose the 50 Cent-Get Rich or Die Tryin album because it shows 50 cent has got money because he is wearing a long and big shiny chain with a cross on it and he has what it looks like a very expensive watch. Also on the album cover  at the front it has glass that has been smashed that could suggest that he has done crime and bad things in his life also he has got Tattos.







I have chose the 2 chainz-based on a T.R.U. story album because on the cover there are 2 chains (his stage name) which could be representing he has lots of money to spend on jewellery












I have chose the Jessie J album cover because it has her face against the camera maybe suggesting she is important and wanted to be seen and her name is on the front of the cover in gold writing suggesting she is rich and again important








I have chose the Britney Spears album cover because it has her looking at the camera naked with a red love heart with her name in it suggesting she is loved by everyone or in love









I have chose the Will.i.am album cover because he is in a leather coat, gold jewelry and a black hat with a grown and king engraved in it which could mean he thinks he is the king 










I have chose Eminem-The marshall mathers because Eminem is sitting outside a old abandoned house which could mean it is where he lived when he was younger and thing back when he lived there










I chose Rihanna-Unapologetic album cover because Rihanna  is standing naked and looking towards the camera in a seductive way and she has tattoos along he chest with one that looks like angel wings possibly meaning she wants to be classed as an angel or is religious.

Music Videos

Rihanna-Pour It Up
Pour it up is viewed in a voyeuristic way because there are people dancing on strip poles and Rihanna is on a chair shaking her bum at the camera,and is always in the middle of the screen with people/things round her most of the time it is a strip pole or a throne.




Britney Spears-Toxic
Toxic is viewed in a voyeuristic way because Britney Spears is on a plane a dancing in a sexy way, also half way through the video a man is pushed in to the toilet and the door was locked which could mean that there will be some sexaul going on.  



Jessie J-Price Tag
In Price Tag Jessie J doesn't dance in the same way as all the other videos where they are watched in a voyeuristic way

The quick selection tool-lets you quickly paint a selection using an adjustable (which can be made bigger and smaller) round brush tip. It also lets you select areas of similar tone and colour and change it.The Quick Selection Tool works more like a brush, allowing us to select areas simply by "painting" over them

In many rap videos women have no identity except as sexual playthings and "eye candy"


They have woman in videos to get more views an example of this is candy shop where there is loads of woman in short clothes around the house.

These images do provide pleasures to some viewers. But the concern is that men may internalise the notion that women are nothing more than sexual objects waiting to be used.

The videos provide pleasure because all the woman are in bikinis/short clothes an example of this is the thing song where woman are dancing in thongs on the beac

These sorts of images are not unique to hip hop. Objectified female bodies are everywhere. They appear throughout our culture in films, advertisements, television programmes etc. However, within music videos, this is virtually the ONLY vision of women available.

These images are shown in other types of media like magazines, films, advertisements, programmes and television. However music videos are the only type were women are presented in a way were they are used as a sexual object and not as a normal person
