Welcome to my blog - `Altered Magazines`
 |
| Cookery Magazine |
My name is Christine Jones, I am a level 6 student in my final year of a Ba (Hons) Art and Design degree course based at Birmingham City University. This is my very first blog, where, as a committed technophobe, I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the blogasphere to record the progress of my exploration of the visual language of magazines using traditional embroidery techniques, specifically magazine covers, and their ability to seduce the viewer through their glossy images. I hope you will find it interesting. Magazines are representative of our cultural landscape, providing reference material for how we conduct our lives, the objects we think we desire, how we chose to spend our leisure time, our hobbies and preoccupations. Essentially they represent a culture of mass consumption of ready-made products.
