2. IDEA
For my FMP I want to create a fanzine which many people haven't seen
before. I want a fanzine which I will be proud of in the end and what
people will like to see. My main idea is to interview people around the
country and see who there role models are. This will be difficult to
complete as making the initial contact will be something which I will try
work on. In this fanzine I want to add poems, illustrations and the
interviews. I will include the interviews as well as more information on the
actual role model. This will have an actual illustration of role model. Before
my fanzine had a range of different topics including; the 1900’s feminism,
movements in this day and age and influential women. Maybe I could
illustrate a quote which the role model has said and have a few designed
pages of the role model/interview.
4. PAGINATION
This is the front cover and back
cover. I have decided to use the
same font as I used on my first
issue of the fanzine. I want to keep
the style the same as the first
fanzine which I created. I will have
various of different celebrities faces
on the front cover. I wanted to
have this so it would attract the
audience, the pastel colour theme
which is shown in my style sheet
would also help with attracting the
audience. I want to have a little bit
of text underneath the title of the
fanzine to let the audience know
what the fanzine is based on. I am
currently undecided on what I want
the back cover to be like, whether I
would like it to be an advert, a
poem or some sort of typography
5. PAGINATION
The contents page will be over a
double page spread. I have yet to
decide whether to have an editors
letter, some of the
fanzines/magazines which I looked
at had a editors note. I might
further my research to see if other
fanzines have editors letters in. I
would like the contents page to
look very similar to the first
contents layout, this had a pastel
square in the middle of the page
and the text inside this, I would like
to use the same style but use a
different style. I think the only
problem with this layout is if I do
choose to do an editors letter then
my contents page wont have the
same layout as the first fanzine
which I created.
6. PAGINATION
I think starting a fanzine with an
interview straight away can be
quite boring and not fun. This is
why I have decided to write an
article introducing the theme of
the fanzine. This double page
spread will look interesting and
aesthetic. I think the first page of
the actual product should stand
out and attract the audience. My
last fanzine which I created I had
different backgrounds for each
articles this time I want to change
the colour of the titles instead. I
think this will be another way how
to keep my audience interested
and interactive with my fanzine.
When I am waiting to interview my
interviewees I will write this article
as well as design it in InDesign.
7. PAGINATION
These are the interview pages, this
will consist of 4 pages, the first
page with interview questions and
the responses, the second page
with an illustration of the role
model. When I was in my
experiments I created some text
with the graphics tablet, this is
what I will use for the main title.
The interview questions will be in
black bold text with the response
matching the title colour, this will
give a clear link between the title
and article. In the stand first, I will
introduce the interviewer and write
a bit about the person. I am quite
excited to see what this looks like.
8. PAGINATION
This will be the third and fourth
page of the interview. The third
page will be exploring the role
model, this is finding out the
history of the role model, how they
became famous and what they do
to be someone's role model. I think
this will appeal to my audience
because I think people are always
looking for someone to aspire
themselves, so why not let them
know more about this role model
and why someone is inspired by
them. I think a nice way to end of
the feature is by creating a
illustration for the last page,
creating a poem or quote graphic
for them, this will still keep within
the style which I am trying to
achieve as well as the feature
9. PAGINATION
After the first interview I wanted
something which breaks the
fanzine up rather than it being a
very boring layout. After
researching different features in
fanzines I noticed a repetitive
theme, most of the features were
linked to some type of social
media. I think this spread will look
aesthetic and plain. I want to have
the page very simple, but a very
detailed spread. I might have a
background which I have made
myself on Photoshop and add the
4-6 boxes around the page. I think
this will make the audience look at
the page because my target
audience are at the age when they
need someone to look up to and
by having these Instagram
12. PAGINATION
Once again, I researched what features
magazines had, something which was
very different. I think you would
normally see a review page in music and
TV magazines but I thought because of
the theme being role models, I thought
that the audiences would like to see my
reviews on certain music albums
featuring someone who they will
recognise as well as Netflix original
series which might inspire them. One of
the series which I will look at is ‘Dirty
John’. There are many mix reviews about
it but I think it helps women see what a
bad relationship is and can see how you
can get out of that type of relationship.
My target audience are at the age where
they watch Netflix quite often, this will
attract them to the article as it includes a
good series to watch on Netflix.
15. PAGINATION
This double page spread is
something which I am really
excited in making, I have found an
Instagram account which have
loads of poems with illustrations.
My main idea for these pages is to
have poems surrounding the
illustration in the middle, I want
poems which are deep and will
attract my audience. The
illustration will be created by me
and will link all of the poems
together. After a conversation with
the poet she has said I can use her
poems as long as I will give her
credit. I might have a different poet
on this page as well just to mix the
style of poems. As well as having
the poets name at the bottom of
the poem I will also include it on
18. PAGINATION
This will be the last two pages of
my fanzine. The left hand side page
will be some type of nice aesthetic
background which I will create. It
will most likely have a variety of
drawings like flowers etc. On the
next page will be a contribution
page, this will include the
interviewees name which I have
interviewed as well as the poets. If I
take any illustrations from
somewhere will the artists
permission I will also include their
name. I think this can attract my
audience to look into more of the
poets and illustration artist, this
might give them more recognition.
20. POTENTIAL INTERVIEWS
I think the initial
problem within my
project is finding
someone who will be
willing to contribute to
my fanzine. With my
plan being to interview
people all around the
world trying to find
these people it is
going to be very
difficult. I have started
off with some feminist
Instagram pages. With
the subject being
feminism I thought this
was the best way to
get around finding a
range of different
people. I also am
planning my interviews
now as I don’t want to
get into production
and then not be able
to do anything
25. STYLE SHEET
Using the Adobe Colour Wheel with the two of
illustrations from the style sheet. This could be an idea
for my illustrations, I could include darker pastel
colours to make the illustrations stand out compared
to the other articles.
26. STYLE SHEET
Using the Adobe Colour Wheel with the two popular
front covers from primary research.
27. STYLE SHEET ANALYSIS
I think from my last fanzine I wanted to keep to the same colour theme to show the link of
the two fanzine. From my research, this is a reoccurring theme, most of the fanzines
issues have something in common with each issue. This is something which I want to use
as it can attract my audience. All the colours are pastel which looks very aesthetic next to
a white background or white text. I think the design is the main thing which my audience
will look for, when I look back at my primary research I asked my target audience what
front cover they prefer the most, there were 2 front covers which the audience preferred.
These were pastel colours with illustrations, this gave me an insight to what my audience
would like to see. From the two popular front covers, I used Adobe Colours CC to see
what colours they used and adapted it to my style sheet. When looking at the different
fonts I noticed I wanted handwritten fonts this time around, I think the fonts which I used
in my last fanzine seemed quite traditional, this time around I want a more aesthetic and
simple look. The fonts which I picked were all the theme which I wanted, however I want
to use the graphics tablet when writing the titles these fonts are simply just a guideline of
what I wanted. The poems in my style sheet are the style which I want to include in my
poem section as well as the quotes which I have included. The illustrations at the bottom
of the style sheet are the type of illustrations I want to create, I practiced with the style in
my experiments even though it was really hard to create I enjoyed the detail and the end
product.

30. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE ROLE MODELS
STYLE SHEET
This will be the type of font and style
which will be the title. Throughout my
fanzine I want to have the titles
handwritten with a graphics tablet. As I
have stated in my Problem Solving and
my development diary I started
creating the title in Photoshop but
noticed that it was very shaky but
when I started in illustration it smooths
the lines out straight away.
The titles will be changing colour for each feature, the
last fanzine had a different background for each feature I
still want to keep with the changing colours so this is a
subtle and new way of changing.
The font which I want to use for articles will be the same as the font
which I used in my fanzine ’Minion Pro’. I think this will make a clear
link that it is the same brand to the first fanzine which I created.
The background will be white so that everything else stands out, and the colour
theme for this exact title will be blue, I always think that blue is a very neutral and
calming colour so if I start my fanzine off with a calm colour it can relax the audience.

32. ROLE MODEL INTERVIEW STYLE SHEET
To the right hand side there are the experiments which I
created in my problem solving week, this will be the type of
font which will be on the front of this feature. The text will
be in minion pro as all the articles would be, and the colour
will be matching the main colour in the illustration. I think
this will be a really good way to show how the features link
together.
The title will change for the various role model features
that I will do, but for the first article I will have the
Michelle Obama text but I will create the text in illustrator
so it is less shaky.
I think it would only be right to have the same title font for
the second page of the feature saying ‘History’ I think this
will show the audience that it is the same feature and topic.

34. INSTAGRAM ARTICLE STYLE SHEET
This is the type of images which will appear in this article, but I
want to make the designs more aesthetic maybe I could add
polaroid's of the accounts, this would make the double page
spread more detailed- I could always add a few doodles on the
actual polaroid as that would probably attract the audiences
attention. I would create my own polaroid template instead of
getting one of the internet as most of them aren't royalty free. I
think the title should be in the ‘Dominique’ font as I feel like it
would stand out more as well as look handwritten. I am unsure
what colour I will have the title at the moment- maybe a dark
pastel pink as this will stand out but not draw any attention from
the actual feature. The Instagram account is the type of account
which I would want to include, I would also do some background
research and add this into the section below the polaroid.

36. REVIEW STYLE SHEET
I came up with this layout by looking at all subject magazines-
I noticed that on one side of the page there was a larger
review which seemed to attract my attention more than the
rest of the double page spread. I think the larger images will
attract my audience so I have taken this into account when I
created my flat plans. I like how the Spiderman review article
goes over one of the pages, this is something which I could
look into but whether it would look weird considering my
aesthetic clean style. I think the title will be something that I
will work on in production as I don’t know whether I want it to
a minimal title and have all the focus on the reviews and the
text. The age of my audience will help when I look at Netflix
originals as 74 percent of video-on-demand users aged 18 to
29 subscribed to Netflix in 2018 so my audience will most
likely have Netflix and will be looking for something to watch.
I think the colour themes will be a neutral colour, maybe a
nice pastel green to not attract the audience too much but
still stands out to the audience for what this feature is about.
38. POEMS STYLE SHEET
I want this page to stand out next to all the pastel colour themes,
the only colour I want to be in this double page spread will be the
illustration, all the poems I want to be in black text with a plain
undetailed text so all the attention is just on the poems and the
illustration. The poems which I want to include will be like the
style of Rupi Kaur’s but I will go through poems on Instagram and
ask people if I can use them with their credit. I think showcasing
someone else's talents will be good as it can also bring more
people to like their stuff, if they like their poems then they will
keep coming back to my fanzine because I showcase some good
talent. I don’t know what illustration I will create yet but it will be
based on the poems which I choose, on this style sheet I have
added in some of the illustrations I like the look of whether I will
do something similar will be decided in my production.
40. CONTRIBUTION STYLE SHEET
IDEA- Instead of a editors note start the fanzine with the same
wallpaper it will be ending with. Move the contributions page
to the left hand side so the wallpaper ends at the end, move
the contents page to where the editors note is and start the
fanzine with the wallpaper.
This is something new that I didn't include into my last fanzine
but I think if I am including someone else's work I should
include a thank you page of some sort, this can also mean the
audience can follow the poets/illustrators work on Instagram
etc. The contributions title will be in a pink/blue colour in a
handwritten font, this will mean it matches in with the theme. I
will most likely make the font myself with a graphics tablet so
the title will be made in production time with the software
illustrator. The wallpaper will be made in Photoshop, I like the
wallpapers to the right hand side but I will change the colours
to match the colour theme but this is the type of style I am
going for. I specifically like the spaceship wallpaper because I
could have so many different pastel colours in one wallpaper,
it would be very detailed so it also would depend on how
much time I would have left.

43. WHY DO WE NEED ROLE MODELS? FIRST DRAFT
• A role model can be defined as a person who someone admires and whose behaviour they try to copy. Either way a
role model is someone who a person can look up to. So, who do you consider as your role model?
• Finding the right role model is quite hard to do, in our early life our parents and grandparents are our role models,
they are one of best choices as they would share the same the values and principles. But as we grow older, you
become invested in the media and celebrities. To make yourself better as a person, I think it is vital to have
someone which will motivate yourself to become a greater version of yourself. It’s not just us who have role
models, celebrities have them too. At each award show, you will see at least one celebrity star struck by another. At
the VMA’s one year, Camilla Cabello met Ed Sheeran and apparently sobbed in the bathroom after as he was her
musical influence growing up. Emma Stone is a huge Spice Girls fan from being very little and growing up with their
music, back in 2014 Emma received a video message from Mel B and of course she started to tear up when Mel B
made her sing one of the spice girls’ songs!
• I often find that my role model, Jameela Jamil, helps motivate me to overcome challenges. From her growing up
with nervosa anorexia is makes me think that I can put my mind to whatever I can as she has had to overcome that
challenge and look at all the different people who have had to overcome challenges. Stephen Hawking, who
recently passed away at the age of 76, was diagnosed with a slow progressive form of motor neurone disease in his
twenties. He lost his speech, but it didn’t prevent him doing his scientific research. He communicated to the world
through a speech-generating device.
• I think when I was in my teenage years and I was looking for someone to relate to after overcoming some
challenges, I looked at the ones who had made mistakes and recognised it was a mistake and bounced back from
it. I think that was the most important thing about my role model as I needed someone to look up to who was
confident as well as honest by saying that they had made mistakes but them mistakes made them who they were
today. I personally, don’t think you should ever be without a role model in your life as they can guide you through
different situations but as long as they keep inspiring you and motivating you then they are the best version of a

WHY DO WE NEED ROLE MODELS? SECOND DRAFT
45. SHEHLA RASHID HISTORY DRAFT ONE
• Shehla Rashid Shora is a politician and a Ph.D. student. She is a member of ‘All India Students Association’
(AISA), this organisation is a left-wing student organisation. It was founded in 1990, it represents radical
assertion of students against the commercialization of education, communalism and social injustice. It
stands as a social force that is dedicated to improving the values of gender equality and secularism. When
looking at the website, the first sentence on the ‘about us’ menu is “Across the world today, students and
youth are coming out into the streets against the prevailing order based on anti-people policies and
imperialist aggression, their voices resound with the chant that ‘Another World is possible’”. Their vision is
“A New India and A New World”. Shehla Rashid lead a student agitation calling for the release of Kanhaiya
Kumar and Umar Khalid and others who were arrested on charges of sedition in February 2016. Sedition is
a conduct/speech inciting people to rebel against authority of a state or monarch. She also led the
protests to Ministry of human resources development to ask for an increase in graduate student stipends.
A stipend is a fixed regular sum paid as a salary or as expenses to a clergyman (a male priest, minister or a
religious leader), teacher or a public official. Her recent protest has been the J&K Peoples’ Movement.
This is the Jammu and Kashmir People’s movement (JKPM) it is a political party in the Indian state of
Jammu and Kashmir. It was launched by Shah Faesal on the 17th March 2019. Shah Faesal is an
independent politician. He started his political life in February 2019 by giving a public speech in his
hometown, a month later he decided that he would launch his own political party- the JKPM. Rashid is a
strong activist who has faced lots of challenges in her political career. She has previously stated “I’m a
Kashmir, a woman and a writer in that order”. This quote itself shows the challenges which she has had to
overcome.
46. • Shehla Rashid is an Indian politician and activist born in the old city of Srinagar in the Habba Kadal locality in 1988
with her mother being a nurse in Srinagar’s SK Institute of Medical Sciences. She moved out of her hometown in
2012 after completing her engineering course at NIT.
• Rashid, otherwise known as Shora, is currently studying a Ph.D. thesis from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on
“How algorithm based decision-making affects policy making”. Before pursuing her Ph.D., she studied computer
engineering at the National Institute of Technology (NIT). After graduating, she worked as a software engineer with
HCL technologies, they are a company that help companies reimagine their businesses for the digital age but she
soon left the company as “the political space there was too restricted”. She then decided to join the JNU and
completed a M.A in sociology and then studied for an MPhil in Law and Governance.
• Rashid is a Kashmiri woman who is vocal about the human rights situation in Kashmir, she ensures justice to minor
under trials, she started participating in 2010 when she was part of organising a youth leadership programme. In
2013, she supported an all-female band composed of young Muslim women who face online harassment and death
threats from conservatives in Kashmir. To combat the harassment, she launched an online campaign ‘I support
Pragaash Kashmir’s first all-girl ‘rock band’ to mobilise support for the girls.’
• Throughout her political career she has overcome so many challenges, she is one of a few Kashmiri women who
have stood up for the sexism cause in India. She has had two FIR (First Information Report) filed against her. A FIR s
a written document prepared by police organisations which means that they can investigate the matter without
prior permission of a Magistrate. Her first FIR was filed by the Aligarh Muslim University Student Union in 2017,
alleging that a Facebook post she had made used objectionable language about Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.
Her second and most recent FIR was filed by Dehradun Police for a tweet she posted on the 16th February 2019
where she had written “15-20 Kashmiri girls trapped in a hostel in Dehradun for hours now. Mobs outside are baying
for their blood. Police is present but unable to disperse the mob”.

• Though there are many obstacles yet to overcome for Shehla and Kashmiri women, I think she definitely
deserves a mention for being so courageous and powerful.
SHEHLA RASHID HISTORY DRAFT THREE
48. SHEHLA RASHID INTERVIEW WITH AYRAN BATRA
• Aryan Batra a human rights activist and a wannabe lawyer explains what his role model, Shehla Rashid means to him.
The lover of books is originally from Kolkata in India and hopes that people can collectively make this society more
inclusive and more open to different ideas and that they can deconstruct the idea of “normal”.
• What does it mean for women to lead a powerful life today? Women leading a powerful life means that the
systemic oppression in the society today, which favours me (especially cisgender men) stops. Women leading powerful
lives means that they get recognised as individuals who have capabilities, rather than someone’s wife, sister or mother.
It means that they are acknowledged just like their male counterparts.
• When you were younger, who was your role model? When I was younger, my role model was Kalpana Chawla an
astronaut.
• Who is your role model now? What do you like about her? My role model now is Shehla Rashid. I admire
everything about Shehla Rashid. Her defiance against the prevailing injustices against women is what I admire the
most about her.
• How did your role model make you the person you are today? My role models ability to speak out against the
prevailing injustices and courage to act upon it, is what made me the person I am today.
• How would you describe a role model? Would you consider yourself a role model? A role model is someone who
is a person who stands up for what they believe in and also the ones who take accountability for their actions. I am
striving towards attaining what a role model stands for and hopefully I will achieve it. But as for now, I am far from
being one.
• Do you think today’s society need to have a role model? Today’s society does need a role model. It is important for
the young people to look up to people and feel validated. This brings up another topic i.e. representation.
49. JACINDA ARDERN HISTORY DRAFT ONE
• Jacinda Ardern is the youngest female head of government having taken office at the age of 37. She has served as
the leader of the labour party since August 2017. She graduated from the University of Waikato in 2001. She first got
involved in politics by her aunt, a longstanding member of the labour party, after this interest in politics, after
graduating she started her career as a researcher in the office of PM, Helen Clark. She later worked in the UK as a
policy advisor for Tony Blair. In 2008, she was elected to be president of the International Union of Socialist Youth.
The International Union of Socialist Youth is the biggest political youth organisation in the world, representing about
136-member organisations from more than 100 countries, it brings together the socialist, social democrats and
labour political youth organisations around the world. Ardern joined New Zealand’s Labour Party as an 18-year-old.
The party’s platform includes providing free mental health care, raising the minimum wage, and cleaning up the
nation’s rivers.
• The New Zealand politician has previously been described as a social democrat, a progressive, a feminist and a
republican. But she has recently been praised on how she has handled the Christchurch terrorist attack in March, she
has called for stronger firearms regulations as the attack showed a weakness in the country’s laws. Upton taking
presidency, she stated that her government was going to be ‘Focused, Empathetic and strong’ and I believe that she
has succeeded this mantra in the two years she has been president.
• In her 20’s Ardern was a Mormon, she was brought up in this religion, but later left the church because of its attitude
towards the LGBTW people. When she became prime minister, she stated that she had no hard feelings against
religious people in general, “I have a real respect for people who have a religion as a foundation in their lives, and I

51. JACINDA ARDERN INTERVIEW WITH ANUSHKA
• Left-liberal 15-year-old student Anushka from India answers questions about her role model, Jacinda Ardern.
She thrives to change social welfare and equality. Her Instagram bio expresses that she is a ‘intersectional
feminist’, who enjoys reading.
• What does it mean for a woman to lead a powerful life today? Women have been oppressed since the
beginning of time, and have led lives overruled by men. To lead a powerful life on her own terms was something
which remained a dream for many women, so, today when some of us are getting the opportunity to lead free
and powerful lives, we should make the best out of it and help fellow sisters who still find themselves oppressed
in the society.
• How would you define a role model? Leadership, passion and respect towards all communities.
• Do you think today’s society need to have a role model? Yes. Having a role model helps you envision your
future and have clear goals and aspirations.
• Who is your role model now? How did your role model make you the person you are today? The Prime
Minister of New Zealand- Jacinda Ardern. Such a Queen, and Michelle Obama, OBVIOUSLY. They’re so inspiring.
They inspire me to become a better person every day, and Jacinda has taught me that no matter what your
status, what your job is, you should never lose your simplicity and respect towards others.
• What are the qualities that you like least, and most, about your role model? I admire literally everything
about them. But for Jacinda it has to be her leadership and the fact that she became the first PM in history to
attend a pride parade, and for Michelle, how classy she is.
• How important is having a role model? It’s okay to not have one. But having one gives you a clear set of
goals, aspirations and tells you what you want to become.
52. ROSA PARKS HISTORY DRAFT ONE
• This role model has been said to be “The mother of the civil rights movement” as well as a recognized symbol of
dignity and strength. Rosa was born in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1913. Her mother, Leona, was a teacher and her father,
James, a carpenter. In 1915, Rosa’s brother was born, shortly after that James and Leona McCauley separated. When
Rosa was younger she left school early, at the age of 16, to look after her grandmother and soon after she had to look
after her mother. Later on, in her life, she met Raymond Parks, this was the start of her activist hobby. Raymond Parks
worked as a barber but also was a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People
(NAACP). This was an organization which was established in 1909, and is one of America’s oldest and largest civil
rights organization. Today the NAACP has more than 2,200 branches and roughly half a million members worldwide.
They both became respected members of the Montgomery’s larger African-American community. In her first years in
the organisation she became a chapter secretary for the NAACP, in this job role she worked specifically on criminal
justice and its application in Alabama communities. Previously in 1931 a white male had attempted to assault her; this
is what motivated her to make a change. As well as working for justice for women in the community she spoke out
against the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court following Anita Hill’s sexual harassment allegations.
However, Rosa Parks was not the only woman who refused to give up her bus seat. Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old
black teenager, refused to give up her seat to a white woman in 1955 (nine months before Rosa Parks rode that bus).
Her lawyer and other Black community leaders discussed filing a civil rights lawsuit on her behalf, but she was a
pregnant teenager the consensus was that Rosa Parks fitted into the more wholesome and respectable symbol that
the community needed. The famous story goes that on Parks way home from her seamstress job she took the bus,
she sat in the black segregated part of the bus and was asked to move, as well as three other Coloured people, by the
driver so a white man could sit down. She refused to move which lead to her getting arrested on the 1st December
1955. However, the arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. On the day of Parks trial the blacks of Montgomery
would boycott the buses. The boycott ended on the 20th December due to the white populations anger it took the
Supreme court to rule that bus segregation was unconstitutional. After being faced with continued harassment and
threats Raymond and Rosa decided to move to Detroit where her brother live. In the space of 2 years her brother,
mother and husband died of cancer leading her to retire in 1988. The year before she retired she cofounded the ‘Rosa
and Raymond Parks institute for self-development. In later years, she wrote an auto-bibliography which was published
in 1992 called ‘Rosa Parks: my story’. When she died in 2005 at the age of 92, she became the first woman in the
nation’s history to lie in state at the U.S capital.

• A Massachusetts student answers various questions about role models. Cass Esker is an ambitious fifteen-year-old born to
two immigrant parents. She states that her ambitions are to “change the world”, she is fuelled by her interests in politics and
activism.
• What does it mean for women to lead a powerful life today? For women to lead their own live today, it’s to be in
control of themselves, and that comes in many forms. It can be a woman focusing on her career or it can even be a
housewife. Being powerful is about the power of choice and choosing what you want despite what people will tell you to
do. Being powerful is about not bemusing someone else’s will and lifting up those around you.
• When you were younger, who was your role model? When I was younger, my role model was Michelle Obama, I
admired her for the platforms she stood for and how she was still so permanent as a first lady.
• Who is your role model now? Today, my role model is still Michelle Obama. Now that I’m older, I’m more well versed in
politics and I realise how ugly people are to her. However, throughout all that torrent of hate, she still retained a moral high
ground.
• How did your role model make you the person you are today? My role model made me the person I am today, because
she made me realise I should never lose my cook and that “when they go low, we go high”. Me being versed in the realm of
politics, sparked an interest in me, and when I’m older, I hope to go into politics, because if you want something done right,
you gotta do it yourself.
• How important is having a role model? Having a role model is very important. You don’t have to be obsessed with them,
but you have to have a vision if what you want to be. Once you have a point a and points figured out, all you have to do
now is start working on the journey.

59. JAMEELA JAMIL INTERVIEW BY MYSELF
• Hello, it’s me! I decided to do an interview myself as I felt like there are so many different voices in this fanzine and I wanted to
showcase my opinion. I am a hopeful journalist ready to go to University in September after doing two years at college.
• What does it mean for women to lead a powerful life today? For women to lead a powerful life in today’s society I think it is revolutionary.
When talking to my grandparents they express how they had barely any power especially when it came to work, they would either have to
work as a secretary or they stayed at home to look after the children. I think compared to this society, women have gained so much since then,
right now the UK’s prime minister is a female and the head CEO’s of major companies are women.
• Do you think today’s society need to have a role model? I think it is crucial to have a role model, they are so many bad influences in the
industry and to have someone good to focus on will help guide young people in the right direction.
• When you were younger, who was your role model? I think when I was younger, my role model was Miley Cyrus. I used to watch her on TV all
the time and found her interesting. When I was growing up, she was quite a big name and was very innocent. I think in a way I related to her as
she had so much confidence and that is what I wanted.
• Who is your role model now? I would say my role model now is Jameela Jamil. I think the way she conducts herself is beyond inspiring. When
she was a teenager she suffered from anorexia from the age of 14 up to 17 years old. She believes that her suffering was due to societal
pressure, all she could see in magazines were skinny models or weight loss products and felt as though this is how she should look like. Now
she is a vocal body positivity activist.
• What qualities do you appreciate in a role model? I think the qualities in a role model which appeal to me is a courageous, confident and
empowering personality.
• How did your role model make you the person you are today? I think Jameela Jamil made me the woman I am today as she campaigns for
celebrities to stop promoting toxic diet products on social media. She makes me feel empowered as a woman as she makes me feel as though
I shouldn’t care what other people think of me, as long as I’m happy that’s the main thing.
• Have you ever been disappointed by news about a person you admire? Maybe I was disappointed when Miley Cyrus swung on a ball with
barely any clothes as that is not the role model I grew up with, but after the first second of being disappointed I recognised that she is happy
doing that, so I can’t judge her.
• What are the qualities that you like least, and most, about your role model? I don’t think I have any qualities I dislike about Jamil, but I like how
spontaneous she is and how courageous she is for standing up for what she believes in.
• How would you define a role model? I would define a role model as someone who inspires you and makes you a better person.

62. FEMINIST FILM REVIEWS
• feminist films which need to be watched
• Clueless- The 1990’s film celebrates female friendship, sexuality and explores a woman’s self-fulfilment above finding
a man. The main character takes responsibility for her actions, cares for her loved ones and constantly goes after
what she wants. Cher, Tai and Dionne are confident women who are empowered by their personal choices. Even 24
years later, the undertones of feminism are still so clear. The main protagonist, Cher, may appear like a ditzy and
spoiled girl living in her own reality. The real-life woman-to-woman friendships are still underrepresented in the
media, but this time capsule of fashion and pop culture film shows what other movies still don’t reflect today.
• The 1980 film ‘Nine to Five’ remains the most feminist fantasy. The trio of women suit up in business and get revenge
of their egotistical bigot boss. After one of the ladies has been waiting weeks for a promotion, her promotion is given
to a man instead his reasoning for this was “Clients would rather deal with men when it comes to figures”. The film
refers back to how women were treated in the work place and how ‘inferior’ they were to men.
• All about Eve is an award-winning drama about an aging Broadway actress who works for a theatre company that has
female roles only. Margo Channing, has it fall: fame, talent, wealth, a devoted partner and good loyal friends. But she
is a 40-year-old childless woman who is tired of playing characters who are in the 20’s. This issue is still going on in
this society, in 2012 it was reported that there were only 23% in the top grossing films were middle aged. The male
gaze is explored in All About Eve, with Margo feeling that the gaze is coming from her boyfriend as she is self-
conscious about her age and with her boyfriend being 8 years younger she feels that he may be looking at younger
and more attractive girls.
• Mad Max Fury roads was known as the feminist revolution movies of the year 2015. It’s a film about the story of a
feminist revolt led by Imperator Furiosa. She has been sent out on a run to load up her tanker truck with gasoline. In
the scorching desert, she revolts against her horrors of sexism. At the start of the film the location is a dried-out
swath of land and pictures destitute people fighting over water. This film breaks the gender boundaries as the female
actress drives, fights and shoots unlike many male dominated films.
