Red Hot Chili Peppers

on sunday the 20th of november me and a friend will be going to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, we will be seeing them in the LG arena, this band is responsible for making songs like Can't Stop, By the Way, Snow and many others in total the amount of albums that they have is 10 albums, the first one called "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" came out in 1984, and have brought an album out in 2011 which is called "I'm With You".
i am very exited about seeing this band, as they have influenced my taste in music almost more than any band that i have heard of.
when i have been to the gig i will give a review of what i think of it as soon as i get the chance

first try of magazine cover

this is my first try of the magazine cover, i want to change a couple of the background pictures, replace one with a picture of the wailers at concert, and another with the Stephen and the Possetts, then i will put text on the cover, naming what all the pictures are about.

first part of cover

this is the first part of the cover i have made for media, so far it is only the title and a pitch black background, i have all the pictures i need for the cover, but there is the small matter of editing and then putting them on the cover so it looks like a pretty good cover (well thats what i hope).

kerrang magazine

Kerrang magazine would be most likily to be read by teenagers that are in to rock/ punk/ metal/ alternitave, pretty much anything that is not catagorised as "mainstream music" people that are older than teenagers do read the magazine, but i would say it is mainly for teens, what gives it away for me is on every magazine it always says about what posters they have in the magazine.

serif/sans serif

the differences between these to fonts are small, one has the serifs on them, one does not, but it makes a big difference in apperence, you would expect a serif font to be used on something with relitavely high status, for example vougle magazine, fonts without serifs you would expect yo find on a less high status magazine like LOOK magazine.

denotations & connotations

Denotations: things that litrally reprisent what that person/ those people/ that thing is -: eg. niform denotates he is a cop.

connotate: the aspects or elements of a chip that have symbolic or reprisentave meaning about the person, group, place or thing -:eg. the red nail varnish has connotations of power and is stromngly sexual although may imply a warning or danger.

first blog post (magazines)

in this first lesson of media, it was an introduction to the course, so we got into groups, got 2 different magazines, and got told to identify the differences and the similarities between them, you will be surprised what you can find when you look closely, the 2 magazines that i got were similar anyway, one was a gossip and fashion magazine, the other was a fashion magazine, so as you would expect, there were a fair few similarities, there was the similarities that you would expect on a magazine, main story has a picture on the cover that takes up the whole page, picture on the cover is put over the title hiding it a bit, bright colours to catch peoples eye. If you want to stereotype classes you could say that the gossip magazine named "LOOK!" would be for people in the lower/working classes, while the fashion magazine (company) would be for middle to upper classes. these magazines are not really my type of magazine (as i am a boy) but i can say i would much rather read company magazine over LOOK!, simply because LOOK! seems to be a magazine that has journalists pretty much stalking them to get story so it is more gossip articles, while in company it is interviews with celebrities so you get a more sophisticated article.
