Digital Mock-up

Magazine Title

The Title Of My Magazine: Bliss
I chose this because I think it is a short catchy title which is easy to remember and attarcts the audeince with the postive and recongisable word 'Bliss'
However I am just going to use this for my digital mock-ups because my model for my fnishing cover is indie looking threrefore this title may not suit the genre of my magazine and I wilol see how it looks agasint the image before finally deciding the title.

Double Page Spread

Language: This text like the other double page spreads I have chosen, are all dominated by the image. This one is especially dominated by the image and takes up the whole of the background with very little text whereas on the other they just take up most or half of the page. This is to draw the audience in and make the page more visually appealing therefore are more likely to read the text and be hooked into what the item is about, they will then turn over and read the full article of text. Lady Gaga although is very popular and big in the mainstream and often in the chart music which means her genre of music is pop, she also goes against what is popular by being so individual and different, she does not follow fashion she makes her own, which shows how she is a trend setter and just makes her own fashion for her fans to follow rather than keeping up to date with what is popular in the fashion world. Lady Gaga is famous for her ‘weirdness’ and for being so different from everyone else and this is what increases her image and popularity because the more extreme she is the more known she becomes so the language of this item represents her weird and unique personality the famous controversial image which lacks clothing just adds to her fame.

Institution: Vanity Magazine

Values: This magazine will want to attract a large younger generation audience so will value what is popular and trending in the fashion and music world, will use people that they think will draw a majority of the audience in and something the audience will want to read about. Lady Gaga is very controversial however a lot of people are interest in her, some people do dislike her but almost everyone wants to know about her radical and interesting life making her a good person to include in Vanity Magazine and will be an artist they value.

Target Audience: Lady Gaga mainly appeals to the younger generation because she has a lot of popular music that goes into the charts which is mainly followed by the younger generation. She is also wild and usual which will appeal to youth rebellion and craziness. However, Lady Gaga is popular amongst a large majority of people and her controversial image attracts a large amount of male attention because she wears little clothing in most music videos. The particular double page spread is for aimed at girls as it is very pink and purple with bubbles which are stereo-typically aimed at girls.

Representation: The image of Lady Gaga stood on top of everyone as everyone looks like they have passed out or been defeated or something shows how important she is. The way she is stood is like how Jesus posed on the cross and she has big bracelets on her wrist that look like she was tied to the cross, she is also naked which all resembles Jesus this is a connotation of her importance and how she is ‘god-like.’ This image is another very controversial image which is often what lady gaga try’s to achieve with her unusual and outrageous image. She represents someone very unique and wild, breaks fashion and mainstream barrier’s to create her own type of fashion and just does her own thing.
