Lastly I added a glow effect around my picture to make it standout from the rest of the writing.
I used a violet colour for the text to suit the name of the band.

This was the photo after i had finished editing it.

this is the origabal image i used and added the glow effect around the top layer of the women then added abit more effect and text to the logo has we used this as a sign of the band.

This an advert for Volkswagen Vw polo. Its basically telling people that even though it looks small, this police would rather leave the other big cars that are surrounding it because they might be big in size but yet they don’t help anything so for them to hide behind the Vw polo shows how tough the car is. On the bottom right corner there is name of the brand that makes the car, this helps customers to purchase exactly want they want and this advert is very clever. Its also saying that you don’t find any car that is small as this one and at the same time tough

glamour magazine

Glamour
People who read glamour magazines would eat healthy alternaties beacuse most of the ancoring texts are about how to get thin stay thin and how to look your best at all times.

Most people who read this magazine would travel by car, bike, train and bus because this magazine is for middle class people who want to look like celebs.

They wouldn't have flashy houses like celebs but readers of glamour would have stylish houses either inside or out seen as the magazine is about keeping up apperances and looking your best.

They would drink healthy as they would eat like smoothies water ect because they want to keep thereselves looking and feeling young. But also probably go out a fair bit and drink a lot like celebs.

They would watch celebrity shows like next top model.

They would listen to music like pop, rnb, classical pop, top 40, mtv hits ect because there popular there in and there cheery.

Seen as most texts in the magazine are about looking good and feeling good readers of this magazine would eat healthy food. They wouldnt really play sport but run a little and go to the gym to exercise. They could have a partner or not depends because they could want to look good for thereselves, someone or to get someone. They would go to places for there holiday or pubs where celebs were pictured incase they would spot some celebs or to have the same holiday as them to look the same.

by sarah phipps

Small but tough

•The idea of this advert is that there are police hiding behind the car to say that even though the car might be small they would rather hide behind that then other things because it might be small but its tough. The VW logo at the bottom is the make of the car.
•No other car that is the same size is as tough.

•Kate moss is a world famous iconic model
•This advert connotes that if you buy a Nixon camera you will take pictures as good as this professional one of Kate moss



Small But Tough

•It shows the car is tough because its saying its strong enough to give the police protection. This connotes that it is a small but strong car and if it can protect a number of police it can protect a family inside the car if it was ever to crash.







Durex Performa

The dynamite at the end of the fuse represents a climax the colour red of the dynamite is sexual so the advert suggests that when the fuse is burnt out the Durex will stop the explosion.

Sweet But Not To Sweet


•This advert connotes that Alpen cereal is sweet but not too sweet as the two teddy bears are portrayed as cute and sweet but they are not that sweet due to the clothing they are wearing which is very sexual.

Kate moss Nixon

•Kate moss is used so the public knows what the photographs will turn out like.

Sweet but not to sweet advert.

This advert is for Alpen cereal. The advert is supposed to suggest that the cereal is sweet but not to sweet by showing the teddie bears which are supposed to be cute and sweet but then putting them in those outfits to represent that they arnt as sweet as you may think. The backgrund is dark and where as the product they are selling is brig to make the product stand out.

Small but tough advert.

This advert is for a volx wagon car. The adverts trying to represent that even though there are many cars around in a gun fire even the police would rather all crowd round the VW polo car then hide behind any of the other cars that may be larger because even though its smalll its tough. The logo at the bottom is so you know what car and what make it is. So if you ar intreted in buying one you know what comapny to go to and what car to ask for. The advert it simple yet clever even though there isnt any celebraties inducing the product they have still shown the product and tought of a funny way to represent the slogan they have for the car.

kate moss nixon advert.

This advert is for a very high quality camera used by many photographers. This is a non verbal ad because the pictures supposed to say it all. They have used Kate moss in the advert because she is a women some wimen aspire to and some men want to look at so they hope you will notice the camera aswell and buy one. She is a very poular model and they would of had to pay a lot to get her to pose for these pictures which shows they are confident that the profits they get from the sales will make a lot of money. The fact that they have used the camera in the photo and that there is a famous model in the photo who is also holding the camera makes you know its ligit, you know what your buying and you have an example of the quality of the photo's you can take if you purchase the camera. Because the camera is in the shot they dont need to have a logo printed at the bottom of the photo.

Non Verbal Language

Nonverbal communication is usually understood as the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless messages.
NVC can be communicated through gesture and touch by body language or posture, by facial expression and eye contact. NVC can be communicated through object communication such as clothing, hairstyles or even architecture, symbols and infographics. Speech contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, emotion and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Dance is also regarded as a nonverbal communication. Likewise, written texts have nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words, or the use of emoticons.
nHowever, much of the study of nonverbal communication has focused on face-to-face interaction, where it can be classified into three principal areas: environmental conditions where communication takes place, the physical characteristics of the communicators, and behaviors of communicators during interaction.

Non-verbal language

Non-verbal language is when you are communicating when you’re not speaking or using text. NVC can be communicated through object communication such as clothing, hairstyles or even architecture, symbols and info graphics. In a newspaper they communicate with people using little graphic images, because these images give the audience of the newspaper a brief description of what the article is about without them having to read anything. Speech contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, emotion and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Dance is also regarded as a nonverbal communication. However, much of the study of nonverbal communication has focused on face-to-face interaction, where it can be classified into three principal areas: environmental conditions where communication takes place, the physical characteristics of the communicators, and behaviors of communicators during interaction.

Small but Tough

This advert is showing you a small car but it is tough because there are police hiding behind it while being shot at. They are referring to the way it is built.

This advert shows us the logo of the car so when people look for the car they know what to look for.

By putting police men behind the little golf instead of their own police car is saying that if you were planning on going to a police shootout buy a golf.

Durex performer advert

The idea of this advert is to come across as humorous to the public, because it is referring to sex as a ticking time bomb because of the effect that sex has on men.

The wire and the bomb is a very clever way of describing sex in a Non verbal way.

The spark on the wire connotes that the man has inserted his penis into the woman.

The wire in this Non verbal advert connotes that man and the woman are having sex and the further along the line you go the closer the man gets to exploding his bodily fluids in the woman.

At the end of the wire there is a knot which represents the condom and which stops the mans fluids getting to the woman therefore making sex safe and more enjoyable.

The word ‘Durex’ in this advert is the logo for the condom, this logo helps people know what to look for when searching for condoms.

Durex Performa

2.
The bomb at the end of the fuse represents an explosion, the knot in the rope stops the bomb exploding which could be very dangerous. The bomb and the fuse is a clever way of using non verbal language to show how durex condoms prevent things happening. The fuse represents the time the couple have before the explosion takes place therefore the durex condom will prevent any mishaps.
The redness of the bomb shows the sexual connotation which the image is called a falic image as it shows the bombs as a penis
The blue background represents the colour of the logo for durex.

Adverts

•The advert is basically selling sex, its encouraging all men and women to use condoms while having sexual intercourse. The image of the advert is colourful so that people won't miss it. At the bottom of the advert there is a spark that shows where it all starts before exploding on the top right connor where there is red barells. Between the spark and the explosion there is crossing line sections which clearly show that from the start of having sexual intercourse without using protection, its going to lead to any direction that can lead to anything. e.g. the woman getting pregnant or catching STI's like Chlamydia. So the advert is selling itself.

Alpen Cereal Advert

4.
This advert connotes that the teddy bears are sweet but not as sweet as people make out from the clothes they are wearing. The clothes they are wearing gives off a sexual vibe. The colours of the background is very dark compared to the bright white box at the bottom of the advert and the bright blue box of Alpen which is a nice background to look at and then you have top bears dressed up in dark clothing, which shows they are not as sweet as people make out, giving the impression that the Alpen cereal is not as sweet as people say. The bears with the gimps suits show how Alpen is healthy but naughty at the same time. It helps to show how on the outside its sweet but on the inside its even worse.
The logo sweet but not too sweet tells us its still got a bit of taste but not too sweet so its still very healthy to eat.

kate moss- nixon advert

• Nixon are an ironic brand in film photography. So for them to use some one like Kate Moss whose stylish, edgy to promote the point-and-shoot camera with a slim, 0.8-inch-thick brushed-metal body and features such as Wi-Fi and the ability to make slide shows with music in the camera, clearly shows that it will give Nikon an edge with the buyers. I think the idea of using Kate Moss was to pair the style icon in Nikon with a style icon relevant to consumers. The advert is promoting the brand and selling at the same time.

Photographs/Camera Shot

Me and Ben went around the school taking different types of photographs experimenting the types of angles.The top left photo is a long shot which is a wide shot or a shot where the subject is in the distance. The top right photograph is a low angle so the silhouette and the low amount of light makes the photo look eerie so this still would look great in a horror magazine. The middles left photo is a medium shot is a still shot of a conversation this shows the head, shoulders and chest in the frame. The middle right photo is a shot of a canted angle the photographers who use it use it to get a close up of a fight for example. The next photo is a birds eye view shot or aerial shot this is use for looking straight down we noticed that you get more of the background in this shot, you can take pictures of a subject and get more detail in too. The photo in the bottom right is an extreme long shot, this type of shot would work well in a garden magazine.
