Magazine Cover Analysis: Prospect

Image
  The masthead ‘Prospect’, located in the top third of the cover, is presented in a black, serif font. The serif and slight sophistication of the ‘ct’ in the masthead suggests that the magazine targets a more sophisticated and educated audience, as it is not as easy to read as sans-serif font.  The colour scheme consists of simply three colours: black, red, and yellow. The hint of yellow against the block red background mimics the Chinese flag, which connects to the main image.  The cover features three serif fonts, and as the eye travels down the cover, the font gets smaller in size, drawing the reader in.  The main image features close-up shots of Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, both powerful political figures.

The main image is arguably the close-up, black and white shot of Boris Johnson located in the bottom right corner of the cover. The strips of images, also black and white, alon...

Timed Essay 1

Explain how the arrival of digitally convergent media platforms has impacted on film producers. Refer to Disney and its 1967 and 2016 versions of The Jungle Book to support your answer. The arrival of digitally convergent media platforms has impacted film producers such as Walt Disney Studios, changing the way they interact with their audiences, which therefore impacted their production processes. Both the 1967 and 2016 versions of ‘The Jungle Book’ highlight the way that digitally convergent media platforms have allowed the company to expand their audience and reach. In 1967, promotion of audio-visual products such as ‘The Jungle Book’ appeared as posters, billboards, cinematic trailers, newspaper articles, and perhaps the rare mention on the radio. The lack of digitally convergent media platforms meant that Disney had limited ways to promote their products, and therefore did not have a global reach. However, the company and the film were still largely successful at the time, wi...
