The Three types of sign by C.S Pierce

Iconic: Camera, Radio, Microphone. the ‘sign’ shows a picture of the object which is universally known as the seen object, therefore making it iconic.

Indexical: The direction sign suggests that every type of media is in a different direction.

Symbolic: ‘Media’ ‘A-Level’ ‘Hautlieu school’ letters and numbers have a random link to what they mean, someone who speaks another language would call the same thing something different.

Statement of Intent:

For my summer task, an article addressing the life of Jayden Bourne. I interviewed Jayden about what he had done in the past, what he’s doing presently and what he plans to do in future.

Media Language

I used red text for Jayden’s name to make it stand out to the eye and draw the viewers attention to his name, which was located right beneath the design with his picture in, which would then direct the viewers eye above to look a his picture, Even the other way around it would’ve worked because that how I want the viewer to view the article. I positioned the main design at the top middle because not only was I going off a style model, but again I wanted them to know who the article was about and know his name face etc

Representation:

Obviously the stereotype of a teenager is there sulky, moody, grumpy and monotone. But my article attempts to challenge the reactionary stereotypes with a radical individual which countertypes the stereotypical traits that most of society would assume he would have, so once an audience consumes my article it may challenge their reactionary and stereotypical view.

What kind of company would make your product:

I think that my media product would be produced by a magazine, possibly a business magazine or a casual magazine, I only think business magazine because the style model which I used looked very professional and may of been from a professional magazine. And a say more of a casual magazine because of the article content and what I chose to write about.

Evaluation:

I think I could’ve asked more questions in the interview I held and fully determine the content I wanted for the article before the interview. I could’ve also used more designs. I could’ve wrote more too. But ultimately I think I should’ve used the inverted pyramid writing style way more to structure the article and help me with the questions I should’ve asked.
