I have created a mind map of my favourite star and I have stated the reason why and what makes them a star, what qualities they possess that makes them a star and not just a celebrity. I have chosen Nicki Minaj.
We also looked at 2 different magazine covers from the same company, NME. These 2 magazine covers are VERY different to one another and I am going to lists reasons why one is more desirable than another.
Which is more desirable and why?
Beth Ditto NME Cover
This magazine cover is quite controversial in terms of how the media portray women. Obviously, Ditto is not seen as 'normal sized' in the media but on this cover she is embracing her size and she really doesn't care. It isn't desirable as such because it is not what we normally see in the media.
Lana Del Rey NME Cover
This cover is completely different to the other and she is clothed. The way Lana is portrayed here is realistic to how the media perceives women as she is skinny and beautiful. This is seen as more desirable because we are used to seeing skinny people on magazine covers, opposed to larger sizes because the media have made us think that skinny is what you should be and being overweight is unattractive.
