MY FINISHED MAGAZINE- RIOT!

I have finally finished my magazine and overall i am very impressed with the finished piece.

Here are some images of my magazine:

Memes and Tropes

Intertextuality – is the way that the media deliberately ir accidentally references other texts within their own.

Meme- is an element or idea that its transmitted or evolves in a culture. It is similar to a stereotype. In music, different fashion styles will be the meme. For example, people who are interested in rock music, generally you would expect them to have long black hair, dark clothes piercing’s and tattoos. In a previous post I have shown my ideal reader, she has this meme / stereotype.
Tropes- This is a recurring element in art of culture. An example of this is in films. In fantasy films, medieval is a trop of this, an example of this is Harry Potter, it is a fantasy film, yet all of its locations are based around medieval settings. Sometimes Tropes are rewritten this is called Revisionism. Tropes generally endure because the audience prefer them, they are conventional. From my experience in life, its conventional to use black on rock magazines, even if there are many other colours on the magazine black will always be the base colour underneath everything else. An example is on my magazine I am going to use the typical colours of a rock magazine (as this is the genre of my magazine)which include red, yellow and blue and of course the dominant colour black.

FRONT PAGE IMAGE!!!

This is the image i am using on my front cover. My model is Chloe Wiltshire. i got her to do this pose as it represents rock music in the way it is typically portrayed, 'violent'.

Magazine Font, decided.

1. Copa Sharp BTN
2. Undercurrent BTN
3. Snap ITC
4. Heather BTN
5. Smashed SF

These were the possible fonts we were going to use for out magazine title, in the end we decided on number 4 'Heather BTN', we chose this as it is a hand written font, possibly representing signitures, also it looks slightly scruffy showing the typical stereotypes of how people in the rock genre tend to care less about their appearence.

Basic Layout Of Magazine.

Here is the basic layout of all pages of my magazine.

The Name For Our Magazine!!!

We have decided on a name for our magazine through a servey, there were two different names that we liked, therefore we asked our media group and some other people who were interested in the genres of music our magazine.

The two choices were AMPLIFIED or RIOT!.

We then each chose oir favourite and then passed it round the class.

so.... The name of our magazine is...

RIOT!

This name is inspired by gigs. As the majority of people that like the kinds of music we shall be basing our magazine around attend gigs, at these gigs, things can get very cramped and the crowd mosh causing chaos and violence.

Photo Shoot- Abandoned house.

These are the photo's that sian will be using for her magazine, there are two of each photos showing how she has edited them to make them look more professional.
