Audience classification Blog Tasks

 1) Make sure your psycho graphics presentation is uploaded on your blog with all details of the couple and their media consumption (it needs to be on everybody's blog individually but can be a duplicate of your partner's post).

Psycho graphics group: mainstreamers
Couple names: Sheryl and Gary
Where they work/ study: Sheryl- teacher, Gary -painter
What do they do in their spare time: Watch coneration street and easterners+ go to the pub for the football

Now suggest their media consumption:

Print: Metro, the sun, daily mail
Broadcast: Eastenders and coneration street, BBC news.
E-media: Twitter, Facebook, BBC news.


2) Which psycho graphic group do you feel best fits YOUR lifestyle and personality? Explain how and why you made your decision and provide evidence justifying this.

I think the psycho graphic category that most describes me is the adventurer. I chose the group that best describes me by reading out all of the psycho graphic categories to a person who is highly familiar with me. I also believe that the explorer group best describes my mentality and way of life because I enjoy trying new things and exploring new areas, whether it be a brand-new product or an uncharted locale, and I particularly enjoy the group's emphasis on adventure. I also enjoy difficulties and novel encounters.

1) What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the RBK 50 Cent advert? The preferred reading for the 50 cent campaign and advent was to make the audience assume their target demographic was aimed at a younger audience who were surrounded amongst “crime”. The use of 50 Cent in this advertisement makes Rebook come across as “cool” and diverse with the use of using someone with a rather controversial background and history. The oppositional reading would be that reebok is highlighting and glorying gang life and culture which could be taken out of context and used as a negative for the company. 2)  What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the advert of your own choice that you analysed for last week's work? The preferred reading would be losing weight and mass and becoming a vegetarian. This advertisement has good connections but it was designed very badly. The oppositional would be that this is fat shaming at the highest level. This also pr
