My magazine is about climate change effects. The process of research information for this magazine was started inserting a picture as a background image to represent climate change but my picture was clear whether, clear grass, to match my title which is life better. I used the image to show if our planet was clean we will get a nice planet making it safer for our next generation. 

Blog 1  This is the first picture I used as a magazine cover to show how our earth will be clean if we were against climate change. For the next page, I used a background color to match the colors I used in the magazine. For the third page, I made sure there was space between the picture and the text to grab the audience's attention and make read the articles in order to understand what the topic is about. For the fourth slide, I made sure the text is obvious using the font caliber and put it in a size that will grab the audience attention

Pictures task 

These are the pictures I used I know it has nothing to do with climate change but my message was about how our environment could be better if we countered climate change.

I have not used any edits in this project I felt there is no need to, but I edited my text to be using one font, one size to make my magazine clear to read.

For this project, I have not used any classmate assistant.

The colors I used blue and green to represent our Earth's nature.

This picture is about when we started. Talking about ideas the messages to the audience, and the goal was to choose a good design that will match our interest.

It could be different from the actual project this is just an idea of how you gonna label your magazine how many pictures

are we using? This was the last assignment about sketches this assignment help us improve our magazine design

explain the idea of social construction and how it relates to media studies. Give a specific example outside of the text. 

 

 Social construction is a theory of knowledge in sociology and communication theory that examines the development of jointly constructed understandings of the world that form the basis for shared assumptions about reality. Media studies are about a study that deals with the content, history, and effects of various media. It relates to media studies because it could reflect any form like a magazine, video, broadcast, and newspaper. The News is normally contractually obliged to report the news and stories of the world in complete truth and honesty towards the situation. This is one of the few Media forms that do reflect reality in its entirety. In the text, it shows an example of a person in a picture, composed, and clear the picture was taken before his death. Also, they blur anything that has to do nothing  Overall it relates to media studies by using their tools to express like video, newspaper, broadcast, and magazine.

This type of cinematic language makes the viewer of the movie see the movie in a different way. Cinematic language is defined as the accepted systems, methods, or conventions by which the movies communicate with the viewer. It's important because it makes a more complex meaning to the viewer.
