5. stereotypes 

carrie underwood covers 

cover 1- bright, sweet, pretty

cover 2- confident, strong, powerful

cover 3-  comfortable, happy, proud 

In this magazine cover she is presented as a happy women, she is shown to be proud of her house and her pet but also of herself. she looks lively and full of joy.

The differences between this two covers are...

• David Beckham is show to be powerful and almost greedy with strength, however carrie underwood is show as a sweet and innocent women.
• Davids poster is seen as very dark and smart 
• Carries poster is a lot brighter and lively with a hint of fun.
• There are a few stereotypes represented in these posters as well, such as the fact that David is seen with tattoos all over his hand, which is seen as manly but carrie has none.
• the have very different camera shots, carrie is fully body David is a close up.
• genre is very alike but they have very different audience 

In David Beckhams magazine cover the men of the world are being represented as strong powerful human beings. in the close up shot it allows us to see the tattoo on his hand which often represents someone dangerous or trouble. when representing a man all you need is the face however with the women often have there full bodies on show. In Carrie Underwoods magazine cover the women are presented as sweet, innocent and colourful. Carrie is also seen with a lot less clothing on and it is also a full body shot. the cover reflects on the fact that women are obsessed with the way they look and how they are seen by men.

                                                    Liam Gallagher GQ magazine cover

Masthead is sans serif font which makes it more block capital, meaning it is more manly, and modern.

on the front of the cover there are many different cover lines, the fonts for them change between serif and sans serif this suggests that the magazine could consist of many different topics.The colour palette, the magazine cover has taken the colours from Liam Gallaghers image. The main 3 colours are beige, black and white. The colours could represent that the magazine cover is for a more sophisticated magazine. The colours do not fit in with stereotypical colours for the mail gender as the mutual colour palette is beige. what could be said though is that the magazine cover is more his skin colour which could discriminate against people of colour. For the layout pattern follows conventions as the cover lines are placed around the image making sure to not cover the main focus of the paper. although this may not be a z or l shape pattern, it still follows the conventions of media magazines. The image of the magazine cover is a medium close up shot, this allows us to focus on the facial expressions of the singer. We struggle to see the facial expressions as he is wearing sun glasses which covers his eyes. this means that we can not see the direct address, although we can see which direction he is facing. Liam Gallagher however is presented as strong, powerful and in control due to the wardrobe they have selected for him. the cover consists of big cover lines such as the 99 ways to look cool this autumn, this causes a more dramatic effect on the cover lines.

case study Raheem Sterling 

• born- in Jamaica 
• famous footballer
• left Liverpool in 2015 for 49 million 
• he made his daube was at 15 for Liverpool
• he has been playing the highest level of football since he age of 17 
• in 2016 he was the most expensive player in England 
• in December 2018 while playing against Chelsea he experienced racism from the crowd

In 2018 after moving to man city Raheem Sterling soon experience racism from the crowd during a match against Chelsea, he was only 23 years old when he experienced these harsh words from the crowd. After this event Sterling released a statement highlighting all the racism in the football world. he expressed the fact that the racial comments are not only at the stadium but also all across the media and he also states that the media helps encourage this behaviour from the fans. Raheem Sterling has had a huge part in the act against black discrimination in football, he is shown on the GQ cover to represent how far he has come in his fight for equality in football. many players around the world idolise him for standing up for such a huge issue that is world wide. 

The cover of this poster uses the san serif font which is bold, they are using the colour of a deep dark gold which could connote to wealth but the colour also contrasts well with the black wigs and outfit they have given Sterling. we can see that the image is of the famous football player Raheem Sterling, he is a black football player who experienced racial harassment through the crowds of his games and the media. in early 2019 he stood up against the racial comments and addressed the world wide issue, for many people he can be seen as an idol. this links in with the main cover line of the text, where he is being called the guardian angel, this is in a serif font which can be seen as angelic and kind which is what the cover wants to reflect onto black people in the world. the wings make his look like a black angle which is showing his as the protector of black people across the world. the cover lines of the magazine are all very dramatic lines such as 'a living nightmare' it also says that 'Raheem Sterling saved football from its self' these are very dramatic expressions which will attract the audience. 

z shape layout which is a typical pattern for magazine.

assessment improvement 

                                               

the main image shows a low angle shot, which makes him look powerful and strong, of sterling standing in a confident stance, with a large pair of black wings. The wings could represent the angelic human being he is and how the black wings make him look like the black angel who protects those of different race.  He is looking down at the camera, with a serious face. The act of looking into the camera signifies the direct address towards the audience. However the serious face could connote the serious emotion he feels towards football and the racism that is not acceptable during matches. The powerful stance links into the common theme of GQ magazines as most of their magazines focus on the male dominated parts of the world, highlighting the power of men and what they believe in, such as sterling and his football. 

The magazine cover follows the typical z-shape convention in magazine covers. the patterned starts with the san serif font of the GQ mast head in the top left hand corner of the magazine cover. This patterned is a very common convention in magazines as it is the path that our eyes follow as we look at a piece of writing, this will help attract the reader. The target audience for GQ is the ABC1 audience that targets the educated, wealthy and professional men who are of the age between 20-45. therefore they have used a san-serif font to make the magazine more masculine. Another magazine convention is the variety of colour that is seen across the magazine covers, for this GQ magazine they have chosen to use a variety of colours such as; white, black, gold and bits of orange. For the colour of the mast head they have chosen to make it the colour gold, this could link into the biblical connotations that are seen with the wings on the front cover as gold is seen as a religious colour. However the use of the colour black and white not only contrast well but they can also relate to the main topic of thee magazine, which is the way that black people are treated by the white people across the world. using this colour scheme it allows the whole magazine cover to link together.

Gender 

For gender the cover clearly is representing men to be confident and powerful. the way that they have positioned Sterling alludes to the the power that men have in the world. they have taken a low angle shot making it look like he is big and strong, they have also shown that he has no top on allowing us to see that he is also physically strong and confident with his body. the jewellery that is seen on the main image can connote that men are successful and wealthy. 

Ethnicity

We can see that the magazine cover is challenging typical stereotypes of the black ethnicity first of all by having a black man on the front cover as the main image. The majority of the black population is often seen as trouble or often criminalised. The cover is challenging this by showing that Sterling is successful by making his own way and that he is proud of what he stands for, where he comes from and what he has achieved by being himself.

cover analysis 

This cover produced by vogue in July 2021, features the 27year old Pakistani education activist, Malala yousafzai who was born in Pakistan and currently lives in England. in 2012 when she was only 15 she was shot in the head after protesting about equal education for girls in Pakistan. Due to her surviving this attack and becoming know as a hero, she has represented the united nation and was made the youngest Nobel peace prize winner. she has been seen as an inspiration to all as she soon featured in the July 2021 vogue magazine. The main image is a medium close up shot which allows the readers to focus on the expression on her face and the body language she has. Due to the shot type being a medium close up we can see she is holding her hand, that is covered in jewellery allowing us to see her wealth, up to her face. This means that the hand will draw the readers attention to the face of Malala that is glancing directly into the camera which gives off the effect of direct address to the reader allowing them to connect with her. we can also see that she is wearing a bright red hijab, for me this symbolises her love towards her religion and passion for what she fights for. it can also connote the power she now has which also links into her powerful expression on her face. 

secondly, we can see that the title is in a serif font which an connote the femininity and angelic-ness of the cover. they have done this to represent her as a person. we can also see the main cover line is the name Malala we can see this is the cover line due to the size and the fact that the writing is a lot brighter than the other writing which connotes the fact that she is a bright role model to young girls who want an education. The cover line shows that she is the main topic of this magazine and it also helps to show her importance by describing her as a survivor, activist and legend. this part of the main cover line is in silver which is the same colour as the vogue masthead, this is connoting that she has the same status. The cover line hints to what might be in the magazine by writing the phrase "extraordinary" this allows us to see that the magazine might talk about her life as it is far from ordinary. 

exam question- cover lines and layout 

The cover lines show the key features that can be seen in the magazine, for example the cover line "vogues guid to summer beauty" can clearly show that the magazine is going to have some feminine tips to being beautiful this summer. just look at this cover line allows us to see that the cover lines don't always link int the main image and main topic of the magazine. To show that vogue challenges stereotypes, they have also put in a cover line stating "fighting talk, Jordan Dunn meets Anthony Joshua" Anthony Joshua is a highly famous championship boxer. This challenges stereotypes as boxing is usually seen as a very masculine sport that only men can be interested in, but by putting is in a magazine with the target audience of  ABC1 females aged 20-44 this shows that boxing can appeal to  both genders.  

The layout of this magazine cover follows traditional magazine conventions of having a z-shape layout. the magazine cover starts at the top with the masthead of Vogue.

representation 

ethnicity representations

• In the past muslims have been represented to be a certain type of person, they can be seen as violent and terrorists. They are rarely seen as anything but single, straight, male muslim who don't have any disabilities. 
• this cover shows an empowering female muslim, this challenges stereotypes
• In terms of ethnicity, the vogue cover shows loads of diversity. 

gender representations 

• in the past vogue covers have always represented women as people who are only interested in fashion and love. 
• in this cover we can see that they talk about boxing, challenging the stereotypes
• having Malala as the cover can suggest that women have an interest in different religions and cultures. 
• it also suggests the smartness of women 
• vogue is stereotypical for representing the women as strong but it is not stereotypical to represent the muslim women

Explain how both ethnicity and gender have been represented in this cover ?

ethnicity is represented in an anti-stereotypical way. for example the main image shows Malala, who is a famous female muslim. This is very different towards the traditional models who are often white. This is anti-stereotypical as it challenges stereotypes as most muslim as seen as male Muslim who are dangerous or terrorists. As seen in the cover this is not how they represent Malala, they show her to be a strong empowering women who. is proud of who she is, what she has become and overall her religion and believes. In the cover lines we can also see that their are two other celebrities mentioned, these celebs are also of different ethnicities.

 

Gender is represented in an anti-stereotypical way. For example the cover line titled 'Fight talk' talks about  boxing and the famous boxer Antony Joshua. Boxing is seen as a traditional sport for men, therefore this challenged stereotypes, and shows that women can be interested in things that the men are interested in. It can also challenge stereotypes as the main image is of a muslim women. as the magazine is targeted for females, this image indicates that women are smart and interested in different cultures, but also current affairs.

comparing 

The vogue cover shows more diversity as the front cover has a model who is black. The famous singer Lizzo is a black female who is proud of her ethnicity. The vogue cover also has coven lines that features starts like Kamala Harris who are also of different races and ethnicities. 

Both of the covers show females as strong independent women. The cover represents the women as being highly confident in their own appearances. On the vogue cover we can see that the main anchorage and one of the cover lines both talk about politics, this connotes that vogue want to represent their female audience as smart. They are also made to be represented as quite feminine rather than male. like wise women on the Elle cover as also seen as confident in the body language of model Kim Kardashian. However Lizzo is seen as more sophisticated and Kim is more focused as being the sexy one. 

Similarities

• Both covers show the women to be confident 
• The covers show women who are not seen as the stereotypical models 
• Both covers highlight the smartness of the female population
• Both covers are in red to represent the power and strength 
• Both use direct address by looking into the camera 
• Both covers show wealth and femininity 
• Both show women to be smart and interested in things such as boxing 

Differences 

• Lizzo has a long shot, allowing us to see her whole body. This makes us focus on her body instead of her facial covers
• Malala's cover is much for focused on her hands and faces, this could be to highlight her wealth 
• We can see that Lizzo is seen to be more bold however, Malala is more hidden by blending in with the background of the cover
• Lizzo is seen to be far more glamorous

25 mark question 

differences 

• Kim is seen to be more sexy and Malala is seen to be more serious.
• Kim isn't looking into the camera but Malala is, which shows direct address
• the cover that has Kim on features cover lines that are very stereotypically female 
• Kim is less covered up were as Malala is covered fully 
• Kims cover shows a medium long shot, which allows us to see her whole body 
• Malala uses a medium close up which focuses on her face.

similarities 

• both covers have been made to look confident and powerful 
• both use bright colour palettes even though both colours represent different things
• they both follow the typical magazine convention of the z shape layout 

my judgment is that there are more differences than similarities

I believe that the overall comparison of the representation highlights more difference between the Malala and Kim magazine covers. despite there being several similarities i still believe that there are more differences, in both the main image and cover lines ext. 

one of the many differences that can be seen in the vogue cover is how both females have been represented as to their audiences. In the vogue cover it is clear that Malala is placed in the centre of the magazine cover, this could connote that she is being paraded to the audience as an important, strong and confident women. The main image also shows her to be covered by her hijab making her blend in with the background, connoting that she might not want to stand out from the crowd. However we can see in the Kim cover, that she is seen to be a lot more of sexy model this can connote that her cover is more appealing to the male eyes . Although both women are shown to be confident and proud it is clear it is about very different things. In the Kim cover we can see thats she wants to stand out from the crowd and connoting that she is very confident with her body and her appearances but Malala is more focused on her religion and believes, this can be seen in her choice to wear a hijab. 

Another difference is the cover lines that are shown on both covers. On the Malala cover, Vogue is challenging the stereotypes by placing mentioning topics on the cover lines that would not also be seen as tings that women are interested in, this connotes that the covers aim is to highlight the different passions and interests women have. The vogue cover talks about fighting and boxing, which are often seen as a male dominated sport, but it also shows different religions which can be seen as the main image is of Malala. This connotes that Vogue are representing women to be smart and interested on current affairs and topic that aren't seen to be related to women. Nevertheless, on the ELLE cover the cover lines show the stereotypical conventions for women. This is seen when the cover talks about the perfect foundation or fashion, this allows us to connote that on the ELLE cover women are made to look obsessed with their beauty and only focused on that. 

Despite the many differences there are similarities, such as the typical magazine conventions that can be seen on both covers. These conventions are used by most covers to draw in the readers attention. The Z shape layout is the natural course the eyes follow by reading left to right down a page. By doing this layout it allows the audience to look at the whole main image of both covers, making the cover stars to be represented and important an the centre of attention. This shows that both the ELLE cover and the Vogue cover like to follow the typical media convention.  The colours on both covers are very bright which is another magazine conventions to allow the magazine to draw the readers attention. This represents the cover stars to both be very happy and confident people due to the conventions of bright colours. 

Lastly we can see that there is a clear difference in the way that both cover stars are represented by the facial expressions seen on both their faces. In the Vogue cover we can see that Malala is looking straight at the camera, this is called direct address, it allows the audience to feel targeted by the cover but also connotes to the audience that Malala is a very serious and sophisticated person. However in the Kim cover on the ELLE magazine, she is looking away from the camera almost as if she is distracted by something that is out of shot. This allows us to connote that Kim is representing women to be less focused and have a lack of seriousness. 

Overall it is clear that both women are seen to be proud of who they are but for very different things. The vogue cover challenges the stereotypical representation unlike the ELLE cover which is emphasising the stereotypes of women.

5 mark question = 2 points

• question 1-  1d-                                                                                                                                The layout of this magazine follows the typical magazine conventions . The z- shape layout is highly common in most magazine covers as it is the typical path most people follow when reading. this can connote that even when trying to challenge stereotypes, some part of Vogue will always feel the need to stay the same.  The main masthead is at the top which follows typical magazine conventions. However, they  have chosen the design to have Malala's head behind the vogue cover, this could connote that Malala is part of vogue and is good enough and pod enough to be a vogue model. This all links back to the fact that Malala is being used to show that the magazine is culturally accepting and diverse because of her ethnicity , this shows that overall vogue are trying to challenge the typical stereotypes that they usually follow, but also on a deeper level that there will always be some parts of vogue and big magazine companies that just cant change.
• question 2-                                                                                                                                   social context influences magazines they follow the current affairs that can be seen in the news, to make sure that they stay up to date and interesting to the current society. This links to the Malala cover as she was very popular in the news at the time due to the the issues with her home country. Another example of this is the cover line on this cover that talks about "love after lockdown", this is very up to date with the current affairs as the cover came out right after lockdown which was a huge pandemic that affected the majority of the world.
• question 3- comparison question-  Ethnicity is a characterisation of people based on having a shared culture.
