7 Star improvements for your kitchen and are you an a-level beauty? are articles in Woman magazine. Save the planet kill yourself is a typical adbusters article, this is direct and unpleasant. The articles in magazines are normally set up to make them easier to read but in adbusters they have dark unaligned titles with an inconsistent colour. Wonky typeset. The poor typesetting is a symbolic code and it makes the audience feel uncomfortable or it is symbolising how the world itself is falling apart. It makes audiences feel uneasy as it makes the audience wonder if they have done something wrong as it has a very low production value. This article is provocative as they are trying to make the audience scared as to their influence on the environment. Climate change is meant to shock and scare us as this magazine is meant to be thought inducing. Newspapers talk about more trivial things rather than complicated issues that will make audiences feel bad. This article positions t...

Codes and conventions – changes over time?  Layout and design Composition - positioning of masthead/headlines, cover lines, images, columns  Font size, type, colour  Images/photographs - shot type, angle, focus Mise-en-scene – colour, lighting, location, costume/dress, hair/make-up  Graphics, logos  Language – headline, sub-headings, captions – mode of address Copy  Anchorage of images and text Elements of narrative Proairetic, hermenutic, symbolic codes Diametric oppositions   The person on the left is more wealthy because they can afford to be against hegemonic beauty where as the lady on the right hasn't chosen her clothes based on how they look but on how practical they are for her lifestyle. Adbusters creates a nuanced and complicated message.

How have the representations in the magazines you have studied been shaped by socio historical and cultural circumstances? water- purity women objectified sexy tap sexy woman luxury as she has all the time to just bathe poor as she is wrinkly tattoos working class tattoos not very "womanly" breeze advert woman mid shot her skin is shiny no bath to get the whole woman in the shot beauty in the bath - the bath not in shot her hair and make up is done A further way in which  Adbusters  has been shaped by contemporary socio historical contexts can be seen in the use of representation in the 'luxury water' double page spread as the woman in the double page advert can be seen herself as a luxury. The mis en scene of her naked body gives the audience a voyeuristic viewpoint to see her. the connotations of the water suggest she is pure and natural as her feminine body is somewhat covered as to make her seem stereotypically meak. Contrastingly the ta...

How are representations of ethnicity represented How does the ideology of the magazine come through with these pages How can stuart hall's theory be applied here How is the audience positioned In this spoof advert the audience are positioned as being in front of this child and instead of helping they are talking a picture. the joke of this advert is that many people cannot afford high end pricey shoes and that instead of looking at an advert and wanting what you cannot have, you should be grateful for what you do have as you could need to wear milk cartons as shoes. In this advert the audience are positioned as looking down, we are looking down through our expensive camera. This image has a very low production value as the image is grainy and the feet are nasty. This advert constructs a stereotype in order to make a point of how big our issues are, this also is very controversial and the adbusters brand is all about controversy. The mis en scene of the advert is showing th...

Adbusters is anti capitalist. Marxism- is the idea of the manipulation or exploitation of the working class by the ruling class. Society has been structured to keep the rich wealthy and the poor people poor. Karl Marx wrote a book called the communist manifesto. He said we will take all the bad stuff for year and years and then there will be a telos and the poor will revolt. Binary oppositions. Roland Barthes Proairetic codes- when a media product has an action suggesting something will happen Hermeneutic codes-something suggesting a mystery Symbolic codes- what does the bits of the media suggest Levi strauss Binary oppositions  Red is bold and colourful vs the plain white Refugees and fashion runway Binary opposition is constructed between a well known brand and a poor boy with milk cartons for shoes. the audience is part of the problem really low production value expectation of audience knowledge postcolonial perspectives: a guttural ...

vogue vs woman Vogue has an a list model but woman has an everyday model The mis en scene of the main image being more important as sophia loren is taking over the anchorage there is a significant amount of drama and this can be suggesting that vogue is better as they can afford to be more dramatic and bold with their furry hairbands and bold eye liner alfred hitchcock is suggesting through anchorage that the masthead is interrupted by the main image scintillating vogue is called a glossy women is a weekly high end vs high street fashion sophia loren is more attractive and the model on women is made to look like a friend or neighbor women can be read to anyone  vogue is exclusive  majority of people who read vogue wouldn't be able to afford any of the stuff in it but women magazine is 80p   To what extent are WOMAN and ADBUSTERS examples of specialised and institutional media productions?
