  Potential Magazine "recreations":


*ALL KANYE WEST BY THE WAY*

-GQ: KANYE WEST.


-ROLLING STONE: KANYE WEST, SHOT BY TYLER, THE CREATOR.

-TIME MAGAZINE: KANYE WEST (DURING THE YE2020 PREIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ERA).



ROUGH SKETCHES OF MY IDEAS







INSPIRED BY THE "TYLER, THE CREATOR SHOT" KANYE WEST MAGAZINE COVER FOR ROLLING STONE













Evaluation: Re-learning how to use Photoshop again was surprisingly hard to do, however I had fun making this. This is just my interpretation of the Rolling Stone cover for Kanye West so I know it won't be 100% accurate, however something I feel I've been perfect at is recreating that homemade feel Tyler created while photographing Kanye West. The Logo isn't a png but a font I was able to find pretty easily actually. I feel like blocking out the background wouldn't have given that homemade feel so i decided to include some stairs and my flats interior to give it a hint of grunge and played around with the colours and saturation until i got a unique colour to contrast the hot pink font in the off-centre. The "IS HE EMO?" text at the bottom of the cover is meant to have the same effect the "DOES HE LIKE MUSTARD?" text on the real magazine has, which I feel I've done well at (considering the odd choice of posing I decided to use).

Audience Look through  the GQ Media Kit  and answer the following questions:  1) How does the media kit introduction describe GQ? Entering a new era of leadership and influence under Adam Baidawi, GQ explores the powerful and progressive new forces shaping culture, society and commerce in Britain. British GQ is today a digital, social, video and experiential powerhouse – a community where people gather to be inspired and exchange ideas around style, creativity and culture. 2) What does the media kit suggest about masculinity?  As masculinity evolves and men's fashion has moved to the centre of the global pop-culture conversation, GQ's authority has never been broader or stronger. 3) Pick out three statistics from the data on page 2 and explain what they suggest about the GQ audience. 61% - ABC1, £7.7K Average annual spend on fashion, £1.2K Average annual spend on beauty;  4) Look at page 3 - brand highlights.

  1) How has YouTube "democratised media creativity"? "The YouTube platform has democratised media creativity, with ordinary users uploading their own content: they are ‘produsers’ (producer-users) and ‘prosumers’ (producer-consumers). Content is published first and then filtered or judged later by audiences. So, success is measured by the number of views and the reaction of the ‘fans’ rather than the judgement and financial power of an industry editor/producer." 2) How does YouTube and social media culture act as a form of cultural imperialism or 'Americanisation'?  "In the 1960s Marshall McLuhan described how the world was shrinking, becoming more interconnected due to technological progress. For him, improved communications turned the world into a global village, and this was decades before the internet. Not all famous YouTubers, like Emma Chamberlain, are American but Americans certainly make up the majority. The universality of the English language

The Future of Journalism: Blog tasks Part 1: Clay Shirky lecture Go to the  Nieman Lab webpage (part of Harvard university) and watch the video of Clay Shirky presenting to Harvard students . The video is also available on YouTube below but the Nieman Lab website has a written transcript of everything Shirky says.  Play the clip AND read along with the transcript below to ensure you are following the argument. You need to watch from the beginning to 29.35 (the end of Shirky's presentation). Once you've watched and read the presentation and made notes (you may want to copy and paste key quotes from the transcript which is absolutely fine), answer the questions below: 1) Why does Clay Shirky argue that 'accountability journalism' is so important and what example does he give of this? The Bishop Accountability Project, which set up a database to prevent the “this is a rare occasion that doesn’t happen elsewhere” kinds of excuses from taking hold, added that article and the
