This cover page is a good idea of what my magazine's cover page will look like. I was able to experiment with different colors and fonts to get an idea of what I will be doing for my final magazine.
When props are used in a fashion magazine it is meant to help add a better understanding of whats going on in the picture. Props are seen throughout many magazines and make the magazine iyself look better. This persuades me to think if I should put props into my magazine. These pictures are a great example of how props are used in magazines.
I have been studying media representation in my class and here are some notes that I gathered. Everything in the media is constructed. Representations take many forms such as radio and newspaper articles. While media representation seem real, they are constructed. When you see a famous person in the news or a magazine, that is just a constructed image of them. Before taking a photograph, you select what is going to be in it, what is going to be left out, and what angle and such. Therefore, that is also constructed. A code is a system of signs that convey meaning, like traffic lights, written language, mathematics, clothing, or body language. Reconstructing media representations, such as film, is also a great way to understand how the media works.
