Lady Gaga's style is postmodern as she ironically makes "bad" music seem cool through bizarre costumes and sets. She samples and remixes older works, and her popularity allows her to appeal to both niche and mainstream audiences. Due to her success across multiple platforms like YouTube, radio, and concerts, there are many ways for audiences to engage with her music. However, her popularity has also contributed to issues with copyright infringement and the struggling music industry's shift to digital formats and services like Spotify to encourage legal streaming.
The document analyzes advertising posters for three bands - Magnetic Man, The Horrors, and Two Door Cinema Club. It finds that all the posters use simple color schemes of black and white, centered layouts with the main image taking up the full area, and the band's own unique font to showcase continuity between the album and poster. While Magnetic Man and The Horrors feature images of the band, Two Door Cinema Club uses a completely abstract image of a cat to provide a "cheeky" personality.
This powerpoint analyses the typical conventions of DigiPacs of my choice. I also looked at what makes them effective and how i could use this in the creation of my own DigiPac.
The document discusses how the magazine cover and contents page were designed to follow conventions from real music magazines like NME and Clash, while also attempting to challenge some conventions. Key points include using a model giving a rude gesture on the cover to portray rebellion as seen in NME covers, using a three-color scheme for continuity, and placing the masthead and cover lines over the model in standard locations but trying different masthead arrangements. Images and quotes from featured artists are used on the contents page along with a mix of shots following magazine conventions.
The document provides feedback on draft designs for a music magazine. It identifies several areas for improvement, including making the cover model look at the camera to engage readers, using a neater font for consistency, including more images and variety in the contents section to appeal to both male and female readers, writing longer and more substantial articles, and aligning elements like page numbers and folds properly for professional polish. The feedback aims to make the magazine more functional, appealing to its target audience, and polished for publication.
This document discusses and analyzes stereotypes of teenagers portrayed in two comedy clips. In the first clip from Kevin and Perry, stereotypes depicted include teenagers constantly taking drugs and drinking, being disrespectful to parents, and bragging. The second Catherine Tate clip also depicts stereotypes of teenagers as lazy, not caring about school, showing off for friends, and having an attitude of not being bothered. Both clips poke fun at and reinforce common stereotypes of rebellious and lazy teenage behavior.

1. The 7 Key areas of representation – Binary Opposites Joe Chamberlain
2. Gender When somebody says male to me, I think of suits, car comparing, football, F1, rugby, being physically large and more muscled than women, technology, toilet humour. I also think of people with labouring skills such as plumbing, building, bus driving, electricians, roof tilers, carpenters etc. I also think of adrenaline and extreme sports. And arrogant football players. When I think of a female, I think of clothes, particularly dresses and skirts, I think of high heels and sparkling jewellery. I think of glossy magazines and pointless celebrities. I think of long, well kept hair and make up. I think of endless hours of shopping. I think of amazing cakes. I think of a small frame with a nice, friendly smile. I think of love. Gender to me means a separation by physical nature, but being brought together by being so opposite.
3. Age When I think of old people I think of class and flowers. I think of dresses and walking slowly. I think of speaking loudly due to them starting to go partially deaf and I think of slow driving. I think of bungalows and I think of soaps on the TV such as Emmerdale and Coronation Street. I think of false teeth and interesting stories. I think of bent over backs and walking sticks. When I think of somebody young I think of them being able bodied and at university. Drinking quite a lot, buying all the latest gadgets and gismos. I imagine young people to drive fast and play their music loud. I think of lots of parties and expensive insurance. I think of examinations and messing around I think of lots of emotions and making friends. Age to me means a separation of people by which generation they come from.
4. Ethnicity When I think of white people, I think of nerdy clothing, and glasses. I think of James Blunt and I think of classical music. I think of shirts and I think of trousers. When I think of white people, I imagine them playing darts or bowling. I think of tight fitting clothing and skinny, non-muscled bodies. I think of large backpacks and I think of walking and hikes. When I think of black people, I think of rap artists such as Jay-z, 50 cent, 2pac, Notorious, Nas, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Ludacris, Xibitetc. I think of expensive, baggy clothes. I think of big shoes, I think of basketball and big Cadillacs. I think of medallions and I think of watches. I think of rich people and I think of a laid back, relaxed nature. When I think of ethnicity, I think of racism and the discrimination there is in the world.
5. Sexuality When I think of straight people, I think of a man wearing a suit and having short cut hair. I think of the man having a deep voice and having a laid back nature. I think of straight men as sitting down with their legs spread apart. When I think of straight men, I think of adrenalin filled younger men driving their new cars to the limits and having a bit of an attitude. When I think of gay people, I think of well dressed, smart men. I think of well-built men and smiley people. I think of men who talk in quite a feminine way and have higher voices than straight men. I think of men wearing make up and men crossing their legs. I think of Brokeback Mountain. When I think of sexuality I think of what people really are deep inside and what they want to make themselves happy, no matter what the situation.
6. Class & Status When I think of posh people, I think of designer clothing and people with the latest technology. When I think of posh people, I think of them having a high-spec car such as a Rolls Royce. I think of posh people going to watch the horses race or hunting foxes on horseback. I think of posh people having received pronunciation. When I think of poor people, I think of people in Africa with no running water in their homes or any infrastructure on their house. When I think of poor people, I think of people living in Shanty towns with poor toilet facilities and getting bad diseases such as cholera. I think of poor people as wearing rags and having poor hygiene. When I think of class and status, I think of a huge divide in the human species due to money. Having high status is having lots of material possessions whereas being poor is having the lack of the basic human necessities.
7. Physical Ability/Disability When I think of able bodies people, I think of athletes and people who push their bodies to the limit. I think of great muscle tone and finely tuned people that can excel in performing a physical activity. When I think of able bodied people, I think of people who run to work and people who take part in a sport. I think of people who with great levels of fitness and people who keep in shape. When I think of disabled people I think of people in wheelchairs with no muscle on their legs as they are not able to be used. Disabled people mean well determined people to me. I respect disabled people because they are not what we class as ‘normal’. When I think of a disabled person I think of a smiling face and a motivated, dedicated person. I think why do people stare, just because of the chair? When I think of physical ability or disability, I think of people who’s body’s do not function as well as others.
8. Regional Identity When I think of northerners, I think of their accent. I think when I was little and I met a lad from Bolton and I couldn’t understand what he said. When I think of northerners, I think of poor employment rates. I think of dull colours due to the bad weather. I think of the Blackpool tower. When I think of southerners, I think of typical cockney people and Eastenders. I think of lots of jewellery and people “wheelin’ dealin’”. When I think of southerners, I think of ‘Only Fools And Horses’. I also think of densely populated areas and places around Canary Wharf. When I think of regional identity, I think of an unnecessary disliking of each other, just because you’re from a different part of the country.
