blog task 7 - Constructing the Other



This is the back cover of the Daily Mail. It's an article which introduces an incident between England football team's manager, Fabio Capello and Rio Ferdinand. The text and the photo really go hand in hand together, with an overall childish tone. Capello is photographed with his hand covering his smile and his face all lit up. Giving the sense that he done something quite naughty and he's having a little laugh to himself about it. The text to the left sounds like it could be a line out of a song or some kind of football chant, which fits in well with the audience that the publication is aimed at. The text at the top also compliments the photo very well, as this could be what Fabio is grinning about, making him look like he is selfish and some kind of dictator within the football team. This type of article turn the affairs of the national football team into some kind of soap, which middle aged men who are into their footy would most likely love to read about.
