Print Media that Communicates Meaning

This task taught me how important every aspect is in media when creating posters or videos. Every aspect in media is there for a reason, nothing is there by chance. All these aspects are there to create a narrative – for example the colour red symbolises love and passion which can also be reinforced by flowing and fancy writing implying a feminine touch.

When analysing my tour poster, I looked specifically at the mise-en-scene and thought about how these aspects (Costume, Lighting, Acting and Proxemics, Make-up, Props and Setting) added to the overall image and narrative of the poster. This will help me with my music magazine because:

  • I am able to understand what colours I need to put on my magazine to get the correct response from my audience and to create a specific message.
  • I am able to choose a typeface that makes an impact on the audience helping them to understand what the poster is trying to convey.
  • I know what is necessary to go on the poster with my knowledge from the Blumler and Katz theory because this helps us know that it is an informative text.

These aspects ensure that my magazine is successful in portraying my narrative to the correct audience.
