Blog Post #27: Magazine Decisions! (Suggestions From Peers).

-

 Welcome back guys! 

In today's blog, I'll be revealing some of the official decisions from my peer based survey!



Front cover: A group of black women (16-30+) 

Explanation: Though this was a runner-up choice, I felt as if showing a group of black women is portraying a united front & I was gravitated to this choice more.


Camera shot: Full body shot

Explanation: This was the #1 choice from my peers & I agree with this decision because a full body shot captures everything within the image.


Magazine articles:

  • "The Trending 411?"
  • "Fashion Do's & Don'ts"
  • "50 Shades of Melanin"
  • "Slim/Plus"
  • "Seasonal Style"

Explanation: I'm excited to go in depth about these fashion segments because it talks about the current state of fashion while giving advice & being inclusive for every African American woman.


Text: A mixture of formal & informal 

Explanation: What's so great about that choice is that, it allows for 'Girly Co.' to be relatable whilst giving out information.                                  

                                    

Thank you for tuning in!

Evaluation CCR1 video link: https://youtu.be/Pi_skDjaP0s Hello, my name is Felixia Francis. Today I will be answering compulsory question one. This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course.  Compulsory question 1 asks 'How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issue?' My magazine follows the basic conventional Rules and Guidelines of a standard magazine, amongst other things it includes a masthead, a tagline, a coverline, a cover image, a barcode, an issue number and date. In order to gain inspiration for my magazine, I followed the example of various fashion magazines that inspired me such as Vogue, Teen Vogue & Essence.       For the cover page conventions, the first thing you notice is the masthead, the masthead is the title of the magazine & it is also in the biggest font with the sole purpose of standing out. My Masthead is Girly Co. which is not only in the biggest font of the entire magazine, but i
