The aim of today's media studies lesson was to research magazine covers using the internet. This meant saving magazine cover images from Google Images and then uploading them to an image hosting site called Flickr.
Flickr allows it's users to save images to personal accounts and then write descriptions and edit them. However, to set up a Flickr account I needed a Yahoo id, which I didn't have, therefore before I could start researching into magazine covers I needed to sign up to Yahoo and get yet another email address. I did this without any problems and started downloading as many images as I could before the lesson ended.
The only problem was finding appropriate covers that weren't too similar and were from different magazines. I thought it was best to focus on covers with well known celebrities, therefore they are easier to relate to and analyse. I also wanted to get magazines covers from various different genres, ie. fashion, music, general interests etc, yet most of the is an example of the type of covers that i found.
The next thing I need to do is critically analyse each magazine cover, commenting on font, colour, image, composition and lighting.
