Magazine practical task evaluation

Publication to blog and analysis
Create a blogpost called 'Magazine practical task evaluation' and complete the following tasks:

1) Save your finished Photoshop magazine cover as a JPEG image and upload it to your evaluation blogpost.



2) Write an evaluation of your work: have you succeeded in your brief to create a new, original edition of an existing magazine?

 Yes, i believe i succeeded at creating an ESPN sports cover. Within 2 of the ESPN covers i got my inspiration from, i focused on making the back-ground fade from one colour to another and the basketball balancing on the actors hand. The rest of the magazines that i came across had features from other aspects of the sporting industry, a main headline and logos. Due to my poster being having an American theme, i had to make sure that the cover had a dollar sign instead of a pound sign to make it look more follow the theme of the magazine.

3) Put your cover alongside a couple of genuine covers of your chosen magazine. How professional is your work alongside genuine examples?

 I think my magazine cover looks pretty good in comparison to the ESPN covers along side it. However, if i made it made the test allocated to the coulombs, it would have looked a lot more structured. 

4) What is the strongest aspect of your work?

  • colour grading
  • consistent theme
  • the ball looks like its actually balancing on his finger
  • has a logo
  • has a bar-code
  • has a price tag
  • has a feature

5) What is the weakest aspect of your Photoshop magazine cover? 

  • doesn't follow the coulomb rule
  • has a lot of blank space 

6) What would you do differently if you completed this assignment again?

  • stripping the background away from aranjit

Brand values task 100-10-1

Choose 5 brands. For EACH brand: 1) Sum up the brand values in 100 words, making reference to Dyer’s lines of appeal. 2) Distil the brand values into one sentence of no more than 10 words.  3) Sum up the brand in ONE word. Nike: 1) Nike's brand image is centred around high quality sports equipment that are perceived as being fashionable and stylish in order to suit customer needs. They want to come across as being versatile which in my opinion is probably the reason why they have ventured out to design different items for example trainers. Nike  fit into several of Dyer’s lines of appeal: Happy families - everyone wants to belong, which is probably the reason why Nike have different boots that vary from less real to the professional boots that football players wear. Having a real pair of boots makes people feel as if they are just as good as those who are playing the sport within a profession environment could also link to elite people or experts . 2) The Nike brand is about

Blog task: Score advert and wider reading

1)  What year was the advert produced and why is the historical context important? The score hair cream advert was produced in 1967 and the historical context is important so we can find out more about the time era and what society was like at that time. 2)  Analyse the mise-en-scene in the advert (CLAMPS): how is costume, make-up and placement of models constructed to show male dominance? he Mise en scene in this advert is very crucial aspect of this advert as there are certain traditions and stereotypes that are reinforced to the audience through the costumes of the girls which highlight them as being very sexual and dependanton the male as they are reaching up to him and this suggests that he is quite superior. The idea that the women are placed beneath him and he is above also may be reinforcing the idea that he has the role of the leader who has the gun which is a phallic symbol which is used to convey that he needs this to gain something otherwise without this he is nothing.

Daily Mail 'Embarrassing from one of the greats': Fans mock Cristiano Ronaldo after Juventus star leaves the pitch in tears following red card against Valencia This article is about Ronaldo receiving  an automatic one-match ban - which cannot be appealed - but could face an expected two-match ban for violent conduct, which would rule him out of the home game against Young Boys and the trip to Old Trafford on October 23. A three-game suspension - UEFA will determine the length of the ban - would also keep him out of the return against United in Turin on November 7.  I believe this is an example of soft news journalism. Soft news stories relates to entertainment sport, celebrities, gossip, scandal and human interest/lifestyle topics. This article talks about how a world famous football players gets sent off after receiving a red card during a group stage match.  This news story is an example of clickbait rather than quality journalism.
