Musa -ae f. [a muse; a goddess of music , literature and the arts].
I think I am going to call my magazine musa and then the S in mirror reflection.
also like the name Duchess (Used as the title for such a noblewoman) and then I could also do the mirror S.
I like Duchess because it has something royal.
The genre of my magazine is not specialised on one genre.
MUSIC MAGAZINE NAME: MUSA (mirror reflection S)
ON THE COVER: I want to have a picture of a boy with tattoos and it has to look a little bit punk, for props I could use our wii guitar!

Ideas for music magazine
EDITING IMAGES FOR DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD.
I edited this image with the program Adobe photoshop. I used the tool photocopy to create this effect.
Use these questions to help you to analyse at least 2 magazine articles:Put your answers on your blogs under the correct title and upload the magazine articles you have analysed (or hand them into me.)
1) How does the choice of band featured in the article suggest who the target audience will be? Because of the way they are dressed, the hat, the sunglasses which enables us from seeing their emotions. and their t-shirts all look kind of rockish. 2) What type of language is used in the article? Give examples of words or phrases which are specific to the style of the magazine
’’I’ll try to come across a little scarier...’’ ‘’Metellica’s go to make a better album!’’
3) How is colour used? The colours used are green and white, as for anchorage text is used black.
4) What style of text is used? Is it similar to any other pages? What does it say about the image of the magazine and the audience? The style of the text is used to make us questioning, for example scarier is written is big bold letters which makes us curious because we want to know why he will try to come across a little scarier
.5) How is the double page spread laid out? How much of the pages are taken up by images and how much by text? How does this reflect the audience? What do they value? Most of the pages is taken up by the image. However there is also a lot of text. I think the audience values both text and images.
7) How is the artist/band presented to the audience through the images? You may wish to carry out a textual analysis. The band is presented as really tough men who don’t want to be personal, this is because of the sunglasses, we can’t look in their eyes so we can’t see their emotions. Their bodylanguage is also really closed, they actually don’t look really nice to me.
9) Does the article demand any prior knowledge? Give examples. Yes, you need to have knowledge about the band metallica, I think you also need knowledge about other bands in the music industry.
) How does the choice of band featured in the article suggest who the target audience will be?The target audience will be people who like hip-hop music, this is suggested because of there is written ‘hip-hop connection’) What type of language is used in the article? Give examples of words or phrases which are specific to the style of the magazine The language used is kind of gangster, for example; no the gza, no wu-tang- It’s that simple. Yet he clan’s elder statesman still has creativity to burn... Also: It’s frustrating seeing rappers talk about the same shit all the time. There’s so much to write about.) How is colour used?The colours used are red and black for anchorage text and white for the background.
) How is the double page spread laid out? How much of the pages are taken up by images and how much by text? How does this reflect the audience? What do they value? Both the image and text take up half of the double page spread. It’s valued equally. 7) How is the artist/band presented to the audience through the images? The artist is presented as a smart young men.) How does the style of the article match the style of the front cover?
) Does the article demand any prior knowledge? Give examples. Yes you need to know knowledge about hip-hop music, this is because of the phrase ''It’s frustrating seeing rappers talk about the same shit all the time. There’s so much to write about''.

The evolution of Britney spears part 3.
1) Why has this image been chosen? Is the use of black and white significant?
This image is chosen because we can literally look into Britney’s eyes and actually see her emotions and the audience will probably emphasise with her. Britney her eyes look really sad… actually she is doing the puppy face. The black and white make it sadder I think, but also plain and pure.
2) How has the image been cropped?
The image has been cropped in a way that it is only focussed on Britney her face which show us her emotions.
3) What type of relationship does Britney want with the audience? Is this supported by the anchorage text?
She obviously wants to show the world her feelings and what she is going through. The anchorage supports this by the word used ‘tragedy’
The evolution of Britney spears part 2.
1.) How has the image been framed/cropped? What type of shot has been used and why?
The shot used is a mid shot of Britney her body
2) Describe Britney’s costume and pose. What type of relationship does she want with the reader?
Britney is posing topless but she covers her body with a blanket, the blanket covering her and the way she looks at the camera makes her look like a shy and innocent girl, but at the same time she is seducing the (mostly male) audience.

3) What setting is used and what are the connotations of this?
The text used is structured around Britney and she is overlapping the masthead. The connotation is that she is more important.
4) How is lighting used?
The lighting is very bright and white is used a lot. They probably placed a spot on Britney.5) What colours are used and why?
The colours used are mainly red, blue and black for anchorage and white for the background.Maybe it’s just a coincidence but red, blue and white are the colours of the American flag!!
