Research

Research which I have already conducted:

In the past two weeks I have been reading fashion related magazines consisting of dieting, whats in and out of fashion and whose in and and out of fashion. I found that dieting techniques are being discovered every day therefore there is a range of different diets connoting that there is a demand for different ways to loose weight.
I also watched programmes such as: How to look good naked and fashion fix, to ensure that I had knowledge about fashion on different platforms. I found out that people will go to stupid extents to get there dream body and will do practically everything to get noticed in the fashion industry.
This research was quite relevant to me because it gave me a chance to compare the different techniques and ways that dieting and modelling is advertised i.e through the effectiveness.

Research that I am going to conduct:

I am going to carry on reading more magazines and comparing and in particular looking at why people diet to such extreme lengths. Moreover why is it so important to become a size zero: and whats so good about it.
In addition I intend on looking at celebrity diets and I would like to discover why the public mirrors these diets e.g why not just watch what you eat, not eat junk food, exercise instead they go to extreme lengths such as only eating apples or stopping food all together or even becoming bulimic.

Potential brief ideas: I was thinking of making a diet advertisement via the TV platform or making a magazine article of a new diet.

  1. www. good use of research by looking at magazines. And finding a detailed link which you want to do more research into.

    ebi. you look at more related texts such as television and books and start to create a bibliography

  2. www good start. wide ranging research into TVs fascination with body image

    ebi focus needs to narrow and connect with 3Cs - most critically, you must remain objective. Bibliography absent. Every time you research make notes and keep them blogged. Think about who benefits - follow the trail, look at advertising in magazine, on TV in ad breaks in programmes you view, look at product placement.
