Ideology Homework

Ideology, Why is it important?

Ideology is the message that the media producers are trying to get across.
The audience see these messages in their own unique way, making their own interpretations of the producers work have even greater meaning. Ideology are beliefs and values in society.
100 years ago, Women were not allowed to vote, and this was common ideology for that time. As time went on, ideas changed about women. This change has made women equal to men, making ideology important in developing society.
Ideologies of happiness are common too. Some would say family is happiness, while overs would choose many partners as happiness. Some would be a happy idiot than a sad genius.
Peoples different interpretations make big impacts on their lives.
Ideologies are sometimes seen as stereotypes, with peoples interpretation of women being objects while men are stupid. Some TV shows emphasise how important marriage is when it comes to sex. In family programs, their never is a family in which the parents of the children are just boyfriend and girlfriend, they always have to be married. Although, sometimes these ideologies are negative though, with interracial relationships and same-sex relationships not commonly seen in some television shows. However, as times change, peoples ideology of relationships have become more understanding and accepting of these relationships.
As peoples interpretations change, so do the people.

Cover Artwork Test

This is my first official cover in which I will base the rest of the work on.
The target audience are 16-30 year old music lovers, and you can see this from the sub heading. "The Love, Loss and Life of musics biggest artist"shows the audience how important this issue is to the music world, recognisable to many.
The colour scheme is red, black and white. Red represents danger, while the black and white represents the old style of media. These colours were chosen to show how while my artist is full of danger, his music is classic and will last forever. Also, this red, black and white colour scheme represents a deck of cards, showing the audience how the artist has been played, or, is playing life like a game. 
The title of the magazine is Panacea, panacea meaning the remedy to all difficulties. This word shows the audience that this magazine is sophisticated, and when the audience understand what the word means they feel smarter.
I have chosen the main headline to be "The real story of Billy The Kid"
"Billy the Kid"'s font is in a old western style, representing the names true origin.
