Magazine topic selection idea and why I decided to use it.

NICARAGUA MAGAZINE PROJECT

I decided to select the country where i grew up as the idea of my project because of its beautiful touristic areas, my knowledge of the country and finally my connection to it. When introduced the magazine project I never had a idea immediately, it took me a week to connect my mid together and think of a topic with a good amount of content, but also maintain fun for the reader but also my objective was to transmit the beauty I see; so I started plans to travel over to my Grandma in Nicaragua and that's where all the inspiration started to sprout. In conclusion I mostly chose this specific topic because Nicaragua played a vital roll in my development as a person and I felt like maybe it could help others.

In order to develop some of my design ideas I used reference from google; more specifically I began a investigation on touristic magazines while paying close attention to each design layout. At first id di not like the idea of searching references because I thought it would interrupt the flow of my ideas but later on it helped me more than I considered. From some people who thought like me I recommend taking tips and feedback, using references is not always bad.

Because we can see how the small birds treat the big bird differently just because he does not fit in, they start to mock him and then karma hits them and the blue bird starts mocking them. The message was we should not treat each other different just because of our appearance. Where do stereotypes come from? I think stereotypes come from the social groups we create ourselves. It can start from our race, origin and sexual orientation, some people start by perceiving something different and that becomes the way they treat them. Stereotype can become hurt someone morally, were so used to this that we can guess someone's ethnics and even beliefs. A example of stereotypes can be the single stories, If we tell a story about someone even if its true it becomes who they are to society we have caused this by treating each other in a negative way and unconsciously beli...

Does Gender Representation make Presence in Music Videos?

Girls Chase boys. The video clip girls chase boys by Ingrid Michaelson shows Men as back up dancers instead of women which is commonly used for music videos in order to break a form of gender stereotype. It achieves this meaning through the use of wardrobe makeup and choreography. I chose this form this music video clip because Ingrid Michaelson made it as a tribute or also considered alike to Robert Palmer's film because he used women instead of men, Ingrid Michaelson had a clear message of we all are the same and we deserved to be accepted as equals. In the music video we can see the back up dancer dressed and using makeup as filmmakers or the music industry would put on women. Take note the choreography plays a key part in gender representation because there is a form of stereotype that men ...
