A2 magazine task

-          Barthes codes can be applied to my regional fashion magazine in a range of ways. The cultural code can be applied to the way in which the models dress and why they would dress in a certain way. If I included images of passer buys it will be their own style that they follow. This can be influenced by a certain culture.  The audience can then interpret using knowledge to why they may have dressed in that way.

 

-          The semantic code within the magazine can relate to the pose that the model does. The pose can suggest a particular personality to the reader as well as a meaning for why she poses that way. For example the fashion magazine would should the model to pose in a upright way to show that she is confident and sexy.

 

-          The enigma code doesn’t apply to my magazine as there is no tension trying to be built up with a regional fashion magazine.

-          Symbolic code can feature with the sorts of colours that are used within the magazine. The two colours can create a contrast together bringing out the important features.

 

-          The genre which is a fashion magazine will create a stylish and sexy feel for the regional readers. I want to make it suited for students and over  and create a meaning that this audience age could relate to. For example why they wear those clothes? Or why they are posing in a particular way.

-          The costume of my models could differ  with what they wear and this can symbolise something such as a certain group they could be part of such as jewellery could symbolise having money or a tattoo can symbolise a member of a group.

-          The makeup of the model will be natural and this can be shown as the model having natural beauty.  She will be shown as a strong character and the semic code which can be interpreted by certain actions will be shown through the action of the model.
