Transcript:

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

So when I first started my um my product, I did do some research on what made a magazine and what

were the necessary conventions I needed to use, um and I did find that I had to include a masthead, taglines, cover lines, um as well as have a cover model, color schemes and a barcode. Um, I did input these things into my magazine because I did want to make it look as realistic as possible. As for the social issues that were included um, my whole magazine is based off self-acceptance and I talked a lot about um the hardships that people have faced and what it took for them to finally accept and love themselves for who they were. Um, I think this is a really big issue today because you will meet a lot of teenagers who are not happy with themselves, um whether that be their physical vessel or their internal selves. Um someone may feel ashamed of their sexual orientation or someone may be ashamed of the way they look, and they begin to compare themselves to other people and I think it's a very common thing to see today. *round of applause*

  Falling In love with you     It is no surprise that people have begun to idealize unrealistic beauty standards. Slowly wanting to conform into what majority deem as perfect. With social media becoming increasingly popular, most of what we see is altered in some way. We are in fact spreading the very ideas that make us miserable in our own bodies. Dissatisfaction in self does not solely depend on our physical being. This unfulfillment can be directed towards our mind, our body, or our soul. You may feel as though your thoughts or ideas are of unimportance; useless. You see your body as unattractive, “not good enough”, repugnant. You see your soul or the energy you radiate as dreadful. What people fail to recognize, is that these very things are interconnected. See your internal reality is projected through your external reality. For instance, if you constantly tell yourself you are unworthy of love or happiness, you will surely attract people who reflect your feelings ...

Evaluating Preliminary Task

 Evaluation: The preliminary task gave me the opportunity to improve my creative skills and expand my knowledge of photoshop/ photo editing.  It took longer than expected because I had to ensure that the color schemes fit my theme, the fonts depicted the feeling and message I wanted to convey, and that the pictures were placed in a way that would attract a wider audience.  Layout: The layout of my cover magazine followed all the necessary conventions. I used this picture of my puppy because it portrays him as sweet and playful. He looked comfortable and happy and I thought it would attract more dog lovers. Placing him in the center was the best option for my magazine because it allowed me to place the cover lines around him without directly covering any part of that image. The masthead is dark green and right above the cover model. I chose green because the picture was taken outside and blends right in with the grass. Additionally, cover lines are placed on the left of t...

Magazine Research

Magazines have been around as early as the late sixteenth hundreds and early seventeenth hundreds. According to "Magazine Publishing", the earliest magazine was published in 1663-68 by Johann Rist, a theologian in Hamburg, Germany. Soon after his publication, more periodicals were being released in France, England, and Europe. However, the first published magazine in America took place in 1741. Many magazines that were released to the public were restricted because of censorship. In the nineteenth century, periodical topics varied from improvement, family entertainment, enlightenment, and amusement. Additionally, the first magazines in the United States that included illustrations consisted of Leslie's Weekly and Harper's Weekly in 1855-1922. Women were a big part of the consumer culture when it came to magazines. Helen Gordon Lazareff released a women's magazine that had an impact on the way many women thought, spoke and perceived themselves. With time, new magaz...
