TASK 2 – The Theory.
- This slideshow below tries to explain what representation means and how we can use music star image to illustrate the concept. Also this will act as research into the design of your own star, which you will be photographing in the weeks beginning 13th & 20th November.
TASK 3

- Choose ONE music star who would feature in your genre of magazine.

- Find examples from a range of texts surrounding your star (their meta-narrative). See the slide show for ideas on evidence meta narrative.
- For each of your images include a description of how they are represented through the image or the tweet or the article. How is the star image represented, portrayed, conveyed? What is implied, inferred, suggested through the tweet, image, headline?You should have around 10 images with detailed analysis.
