Deconstructing Arnold
1. What do you think about this person based on the cover of the magazine? How does he look?
He looks strong, young, and very fit.
2. What lifestyles, values, points of view are represented or omitted? How does he make you feel?
He looks like a person I would not want to make mad. He probably cares a lot about fitness, health, and his appearance.
3.What do you think about this person now? How does he look?
He looks older and wiser; more of a business man. Somebody that would work in office, or the government, etc.
4.What lifestyles, values, points of view are represented or omitted? How does he make you feel?
He lives a more normal life now. Not using steroids, not caring about his body image so much. Could be seen as a government figure.
5.What are the differences between the two covers? What techniques are used to attract your attention? Pay attention to body language, clothing, camera angle, lighting, color, eye contact etc.
The first cover he is dressed to show off his body, in a position to flex his muscles. The colors are red and orange, as if to get you "fired up" about what the magazine has inside.
The second cover looks more professional and has cooler colors, so it's more soothing. He is well dressed in a suit and tie, and he looks very successful.
