LO:to research genre codes and conventions

Do now 

1.I am going to do a sports magazine

2.i will have cover lines about the topic of football and feature footballers in magazines

3. i am intending to use the stereotypes of having a footballer on the front cover

Imagery 

In a football magazine i would expect to see pictures of footballers, football boots, football fans, stadiums and gear that is used in football like kneepads or kits.

Colour palette 

In a football magazine i would expect it too have a colour palette of bright colours which grab the readers attention since most football magazines have a target audience of children

Typography 

In a football magazine the typography is mainly using sans serif fonts in varying size from small cover lines and paragraphs of writing in articles about the topic featured in the article and large headlines and titles to grab readers attention.

Lexis 

The lexis used in a football magazine would use very emotive language and simple language to give emphasis to the magazine's headlines and simple language used for the young target audience to be able to perceive and understand.

Topics for articles 

Articles usually cover the newest information in transfer news, footballers skills, new products pertaining to football and interviews with managers and players of football.

Representations of people 

Footballers in football magazines are usually presented as very talented and athletes and celebrities that are almost like god's compared to regular people. Which is slightly different from how managers are treated in magazines which are usually either presented as geniuses or very idiotic people.

To research the representations created in similar products

Do now 

representation in media is how something has been presented as like an idea about itself in form of media through shot type or angle, mise en scene and editing this can be how gender, race, regional identity, social issues and events is presented to an audience.

Magazines 

• Beloved, popular, godly and praised
• gender in these images is presented in a stereotypical way in which male figures overtake women with the spotlight on only them this is shown from the amount of women shown in the magazine compared to men which is much less representation for women. So men are presented as the dominant gender and overshadow women which is stereotypical of what some sports fans believe
• age has been represented by giving older people less presentation on the magazine this gives the impression that younger people are more capable and popular when it comes to sports which is stereotypical as older people are usually show as as less dominated in sports
• ethnicity is presented as irrelevant since many footballers of different races are shown without mention of that fact since everyone is treated the sam and is not stereotyped by having people of all races shown on the magazines images
• Sport and fashion are shown as important by the magazine since most of the pictures involve some form of product placement due to the sports brands on the players kits.
• The importance of the sport of football and how popular the footballers are as a celebrity is the stereotypes that have been used
