shout out to media ..... its really interesting to look at how graphics and layouts and stylisation develops over time and what influences it (lots of analysis in the tags)
#temtalk#i was comparing 1957 vogue to 2023 vogue#and u can see its very much based on pictures now#rather than back then it was lots and lots of words#esp in the first issues where it was so many paragraphs#and its also very fpcused on advertising despite when the article itself isnt#for example one on margot robbie (photoshoots n stuff for barbie) managed to work the branding into the little snippets of text#which ur bound to read bc of how small they are n how they stand out on the page#as being the only text so naturally ur gonna read them#its in the same paragrah no line break or anything#backstory on the image then BOOM brand name#and it has the brand name first which is interesting#like [brand] shoes rather than shoes by [brand]#bc if u were reading for backstory on the image itself u would see 'shoes' and stop reading#but by having thr brand first . boom . right in ur face wether u like it or not#which id obviously what a lot of advertising does bc yk. no one likes it. so they have to force it at u#also also also. i was considering#yk how tumblrs layout look so much like twt now#thats fascinating to me#bc why would u want to go with the crowd rather than maintain ur image which already sticks out somewhat#lots of social platoforms are looking more and more similar#which. is fascinating like i mentioned#bc being unique is a big part of marketing#so its probably playing to the popularity of twt? possibly hoping to draw in more users with a theme thye already recognise#which i mean. this is known as being a 'dead' website#heavy on the quotation marks#so maybe its a case of trying to revive it somewhat by pushing it into the crowd#even tho. its not dead#IDK IDK its all rlly interesting to me!!taking media in school at the moment#and im rlly enjoying it so
