The
influence of gender equality within mainstream journalism.
Fluidity
– Zine
|
|
Brief (outline the general aims of
the project)
|
|
The
aim of the project is to highlight and question why gender is portrayed in
very separate ways in mainstream journalism and in no way, consider gender
neutral, transgender etc. I want to investigate the ways in which men and
women are represented in extremely stereotypical forms and to create a
publication that breaks this trend changing the ways in which gender is
perceived in the media. The publication will remove any kind of gender bias
and demonstrate that within fashion gender doesn’t exist. Fashion should
allow people to express themselves and be whoever they want to be without the
separation of clothes due to gender. The zine will show men and women
modelling the same clothes to project the message that it should be socially
acceptable and socially advertised that everyone can wear whatever they
please.
What
is the zine all about, who has it been created for and why has it been created?
Could
take a very loud approach almost highlighting and breaking the gender-neutral
rules or a contemporary approach that removes the usual gender stances that
are seen in mainstream magazines like vogue.
