Semiotics in music magazines



The audience would be captured by this magazine because of the bright colours and the artists striking red jacket and matching hat. The artist is in the middle of a pose, much like he does not care, however very confident and cool to fit in to his genre of music, rap/hip hop. The big gold masthead may also attract the audience as its another bright colour set out to capture the attention of people who are interested in the artist and overall magazine and what its genre appeals to be.




The audience will be captured to this magazine because of its bright red masthead and title which says 'Tyler the creator' a certain new artist who appeals to allot of young people who like rap/hip hop today. The artist is dressed in a crown and wedding dress which is a mock of the royal wedding, some would say he is being rebellious by doing this however he may want to show people he is the new up coming artist therefore is a king with his crown. The quote he makes goes against certain people's views but he doesn't seem to care what people think both on the cover and in his music therefore the magazine will appeal to his fans and new viewers.



The audience will be attracted to this third magazine cover as its black and chrome picture is out washed with the magazines use of the red masthead which is very good as it stands out very well. The red and White titles work well as the audience the have that professional look about it and is in the audiences face as soon as they see it. Chris Brown pose is very fresh but serious about his music as he is in a suit to connote smartness, the magazine appeals to the audience overall very well as the separate colours contrast well with each other in calling out to the audience making them want to buy it.

Feminism

Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women.It is the response to society's assumptions that women should be subservient to men. Until the emergence of feminism women were treated almost as objects.The theory feminism was introduced first in the 18th century, however  the suffragette movement helped women eventually  be on an equal level as men, by allowing them to do similar occupations such as management and supervisory postions.
Feminism started in the 18th century




This magazine cover links to feminism, this is because everyday ordinary women  and a  woman  such as beth ditto who are naked on the cover of a magazine would be seen as a voyeuristic because many people would not see her as being attractive or well toned. The reasons for my point are ; most men in the world are attractive to very skinny women beth ditto on this front cover is looking overweight. Also beth ditto is showing arm pit hair and this in not lady like and manly. As this picture clearly states beth ditto is very confident about herself and her body and she doesn’t seem to care what other people think about her including men.
