TASK 7th Feb - RIP IT UP

Hi! Today we're going to investigate RIP IT UP magazine in order to get to grips with our internal and external standards. On your tables, I'd like you to grab the magazine and upload materials on your blog to illustrate the following: 

 1) Take a look at the front cover, look at your key terminology. What do you spot? Analyse the things you spot - how do these key elements 'enhance' the magazine or even the representation of the artist? 

 2) Can you spot any reviews? Do these reviews tend to be of the same type of music or are they varied? Can you see any features? What are they generally of?

 3) What are the typical 'ideologies' of the magazine. Can you spot any of these? What do they say? 

 4) What are the Unique Selling Points of the magazine? How do they effectively target an audience?

5) Think back to 'audience gratification theory' and decide if the magazine targets an audience in terms of: surveillance, personal relationships, personal identity or escapism? 

 5) Take a look at your RIP IT UP booklet. From investigating the magazine how can you spot any of these ideas presented in the booklet? Read the audience section: how does the magazine meet the expectations of the audience?
