Clay Shirky: End of audience blog tasks

  Media Magazine reading: 1) Looking over the article as a whole, what are some of the positive developments due to the internet highlighted by Bill Thompson? The internet is only that wire that delivers  freedom of speech, freedom of assembly,  and freedom of the press in a single  connection. It’s only vital to the livelihood,  social lives, health, civic engagement,  education and leisure of hundreds of  millions of people (and growing every day).  The network connects us to other people,  it provides a great source of information, it  can be used for campaigning and political  action, to draw attention to abuses and fight  for human rights. It’s a great place for gaming  and education, which can also be used to make  a lot of money (for a few people) as well as  a place where you can meet your friends. 2) What are the negatives or dangers linked to the development of the internet?

Why?

Magazine practical task research and planning

  Research:  1) Use Google to research potential magazines that you could use as your brand/design for this project.  Create a shortlist of  three  potential magazines and embed an example front cover from each one. We recommend looking at lifestyle magazines or a similar genre as these are more achievable to re-create. 2) Choose  one  of the three magazine brands to use for your project e.g GQ, Vogue or The Gentlewoman. Then f ind  three  different front covers for your chosen magazine and embed them in your blogpost. Analyse the fonts, colours and typical design. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines written? What camera shot is generally used for the cover image? You need to become an expert in the design and construction of this magazine and its branding.   Planning: 1) On a Word or Google document, plan your  main cover line  (also called the 'main flash') - this is the main cover story that links to your central image.
