LIIAR

LIIAR is the things that we look for in media. 

LIIAR stands for Language, Ideology, Institutions, Audience and Representation.

Language - Language refers to the terminology we use to deconstruct media texts. In magazines, we use terms such as masthead, cover lines and cover image.


Ideology - Ideologies are the values and beliefs of the magazine, what is important to them and their readers and what message they are trying to convey.

Institutions - Institutions are the companies which create media texts. They control the language, representation and ideology of their magazine.

Audience - Audiences are the general public who consume the media texts and what demographic the magazine is aimed at.

Representation - Representation is how are the groups, issues and individuals portrayed within the magazine.

Artists

The Main Artist

For my main artist, they are going to be an indie pop genre female. It didn't really matter what genre I wanted them to be, as the magazine is going to be a mix. I am basing this artist off of Lorde, as I am used to her style, and can corporate this into the magazine article.

This artist will be to attract the audience of young adults through to people in their 30's, as this is the age group my magazine is going to be aimed at.

Their fashion style is going to be modern and clean. It will be the latest trends, with the artists (models) oven twists, so she looks comfortable, and her in what she wears. This will be shown in the images of her.

The logo will also be modern and most likely black and white. This is only so it will work with anything that is put with it, and I have seen that there is a trend with black and white logos for bands and artists.


Secondary Artist

My secondary artist is going to be a young, up-and-coming male artist. I think their genre will be indie rock. 

This artist will be for younger audiences, i.e teenagers. Their clothing will be quite dark, and the type of clothing a young teenager would wear. Their logo will also be quite plain, and easy to read. 

These are what I am going to try and aim for with the artists, but this may change during the making of the magazine.
