In this lesson we started to plan and research in some ways ethinicity is portrayed in certain aspects. we watched some clips that were racial to blacks and whites. comparing them and seeing where mise en scene, camera angles, sound and editing is used, and how to clock in to it all.

Double Page Spread - A Good Example

This is another double page spread I found online, like all the others I liked, this also drew me in straight away... Having the image of GAGA to the left in sexy clothes drew me in, but what makes that picture even more appealing to look at is the fainted text behind it... this makes you look at the picture even harder as you want to see what the fainted text says... a very good skill used to draw decoders in to read more of the magazine! I really like this skill used and will be shore to use it within my DPS. Also having the lighting bolt transparent to the text makes the text a lot more appealing to read. It covers 'white space' too making this DPS look a lot more professional. Another thing I appreciated within this page is the bold letters put in the middle of the text, this automatically breaks the text up, hence making it more easier to read and makes me want to read it too, I hope to use a similar effect within mine...

Double Page Spread - A Good Example

This double page spread that I found on the internet and it really caught my eye! As you can see the image stands out immeditaly and draws you in to the page, having a little bit of text to the right hand side makes it very easy to read espically as a serif font is used, this makes it even easier to read, in my DPS I would like to use a similar effect of the text that is used in this page. The title 'In Wonderland' is also very clear/bold and fits in well with the image used, not over done at all, really like this piece of work, and I have gathered some ideas for my own DPS.

Beginning of January (upto the 9th) 2012

For the beginning of the year we had a double lesson, in this lesson we simply carried on working with our DPS for the magazine, I felt this double to be a really good lesson as I progressed with my DPS as it is nearly done! not to much to do with it now which is a relief in some respects...

9th jan,

In this lesson, we started focusing on the other part of the examination, taking notes of how magazines make their monies...
