Constructed Media prints


Constructed Media (Prints) 



In these two images, Jeremy Corbyn has been portrayed in very different ways. In the left image, Jeremy has been presented as being like rubbish and is he is actually in the bin. His hands are diry, and his beard is unshaven which could suggest that he is scruffy and not well put together. "Don't chuck Britain in the COR-BIN" uses play on words with his last name as they are referring to his surname as actually being a bin. In the red headboard, it says "we've had enough of Jezza's rubbish" and this shows that they are representing him in a bad light and even by calling him "Jezza" is disrespecting his own name. By him being in a bin could suggest that he is full of rubbish and everything that he says isn't right.With the bullet pointing down the side it can be seen as very straight to the point and not very presentable. It lists all the negative things he will bring to the country and this is also represented by the dirty background and half eaten apple. In the next magazine, Jeremy Corbyn has been shown to look very powerful. The angle he is standing at and his posture, such as the arms crossing, could represent his power and that he is a strong man. He looks very smart in his clean, presentable suit and he looks put together with his shaven beard. The background colour contrasts hugely with his suit because it is so light, yet he is wearing something so dark. This makes him stand out as he is the boldest and biggest feature on the page. They use words like 'hostile takeover' which is much more professional and appealing than 'Cor-bin' and 'Jezza'.





















In these two images, Theresa May has been presented in a negative way. These articles would have bought negative attention towards her. In the first article from The Sun, there is a massive picture of her leopard print heel on top of six mens face's. How the layout of this newspaper has been presented could make people think that Theresa May is standing on their head's to show her power and control. It is very degrading for the men because it makes them seem like they are worthless and unimportant if someone is literally standing on them. The heading, 'Heel, Boys' could be viewed as her talking to the men as dogs. "Heel', is something you say to your dog when you want them to stop and stand near you, so this could represent May making sure that they knew who's in charge and who has authority. The word 'Boys', is also degrading for the six men because it suggests that Theresa is calling them children and that is why they need someone to control them and that they aren't worthy enough. The heels being the centre and main point of the page show the readers what they want them to see first and by the heels being leopard print, it makes them stand out. In the next article from the Daily Mail, it shows Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon sitting next to each other. They use play on words like  "Legs-it" as both of the women have their legs out. By having that as the main title, it will draw people to look at their legs before anything which could be seen as objectifying. "Who won legs-it' shows that their is competition and a bit of rivalry between May and Sturgeon, so by asking who won, it is just stirring the pot. The heading will make the readers just think the article is about legs, which is not the message they need.
