2) Write an evaluation of your work: have you succeeded in your brief to create a new, original edition of an existing magazine?

I've changed my magazine that I was going with, but I think that I did succeed of recreationg the mood of the magazine. It might have a bit different feel to it, but overall I think it looks great.

3) Put your cover alongside a couple of genuine covers of your chosen magazine. How professional is your work alongside genuine examples?

 I think I need some more practice, but it's not bad. It was hard for me to find the right color and font for my cover lines. 

4) What is the strongest aspect of your work?

 I really like my work with the flowers on the logo. It's a detail that makes the cover look a lot more professional. I focused on the logo the most, trying to create a new edition of the cover, but with a little touch of my style.

5) What is the weakest aspect of your Photoshop magazine cover? 

 It was hard to put the cover lines in a good an visible position. They're also a little too big and the color is a bit off. Also I feel like the photo is to stretched. 

6) What would you do differently if you completed this assignment again?

 I would choose a different location and do a little ore preperetion with the costume and props before the photoshoot. I would also reseach information about magazine cover an the way that the cover lines are placed.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - blog tasks Create a new blogpost called 'Metroid Prime 2: Echoes case study' and complete the following in-depth tasks. Language Analyse the  game cover  for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (above). 1) How does the cover communicate the genre of the game? It's very Si-Fi, a lot of cold colours, suggesting that the game will contain a lot of adventure/action narrative.  The cover often expresses the genre through the character holding a weapon which is a prop, conveying the theme of action and adventure. 2) What does the cover suggest regarding gameplay and audience pleasures? Escapism - the game is si-fi, a totally different world- the audience can divert from reality. Multiplayer - playing with other people. 3) Does the cover sexualise the character of Samus Aran? Why/why not? Costuming does not concentrate on her type of body; however, it can be argued that it accentuates her curves in some respects, which identifies her as...

Videogames: Tomb Raider Anniversary

Tomb Raider Anniversary: blog tasks Language and Audience Analyse the  game cover  for Tomb Raider Anniversary (above). 1) How does the cover communicate the genre of the game? It's definitely adventurous, action, mystic. The outfit worn by Lara Croft is a hint, the weapons holsters coupled with the cargo shorts and blue top will suggest that it's an adventure game, but only because of the genre conventions already developed for games like this, if you didn't know the conventions before, chances are it might have gone over your head.I think the colour scheme represents the best adventure genre through the range of colours, such as brown and gold, which have connotations of mystery and riches, as well as being a key element of colour lighting, as it relates to elements of intertextuality that appear in Indiana Jones films. 2) How does the pose and costume of the character appeal to primarily male audiences? The pose is known in a lot of media texts, e...
