On the first site some of the things on the magazine were really weird like the art pictures and style pictures I saw some movies I recognized. Some of the pictures were ligit about life and todays culture. The second site, the magazine looks like mostly ads. It looked more christian based then the other site there were some articles it looked like a nice site. On the first site I probably wouldn't include the creepy art pictures that didn't really have a message and I would put more articles or something in the second site.
ReplyDeletewell i couldn't figure out what was happening in the first magazine because there where different pictures that did not add up like the picture of green lantern what does that have to do with anything.And the second magazine was from a more religious point of view than the first one.
ReplyDeleteIn the first magazine the art was very different and interesting. I also saw articles on recent movies out. This magazine also had a lot of pictures on style and fashion. In the second magazine it had mainly adds and not many pictures or articles. It also seemed like it had more of a religious point to it. In the first one, I would have taken out some of the strange art, and in the second one I would have added more pictures.

ReplyDeleteFan and fire style is very out there and diffrent from the norm but were very strait forward with our culture around us but you had to really think sometimes to get it especially there movie pics now relevant had almost all adds a little articles but it was mostly in a strong Christian view point to strong .I would include to the first explanations on the pictures and movies and a little but kore of a Christian view and the second I would add more pictures and videos and articles cuz it was too boring and I would take away so much of the Christian view on it makes people shy away more . I liked the first fan and fire it cought your eye and made you think about what it was trying to poetry through the three subjects they used to example
ReplyDeleteThe first magazine “fan fire” was a little different and cool. Different in a way like it was more secular, the art and photography was somewhat creepy, and kind a random with the drawings. The cool section of the magazine was when they discussed and showed movies and shows such as green lantern. I would not buy fan fire because it’s just weird, and doesn’t discuss youth culture it makes it worse. The second magazine “Relevent” was a pretty cool magazine. It had some very cool articles about different topics. I thought that the coolest section was the article or interview about the film maker. I would most definitely buy or read this in my leisure time. The difference between the magazines is that one helps tell about youth culture in a fun and Christian aspect, which helps all generations to see things in a positive light. I think that the second one was weird and didn’t have much meaning. All it does is add more fuel to the fire of youth culture.

ReplyDeleteFan the Fire was, obviously, more secular than Relevent. Fan the fire had a lot of reviews on t.v. shows and movies that had came out.In Relevent, at first, there were a lot of ads about christian stuff and later it began to dive deep into our culture and what is going on around us like abortion. It would just focus on a Christian viewpoint on everything going on around the world today.
ReplyDeleteThe first magazine had a lot of articles on recent movies, art, and more popular things today. The second magazine was obviously more Biblical based. It told about some concerts and conferences that are coming up, and also they looked at some issues in our world today through a Christian worldview and discussed them.
ReplyDeletewell i thought fan the fire first magazine was more secular like movie reviews and fashion and things of that nature. although the relevant magazine had a lot of ads, it was much more about christian stuff than fan the fire.
ReplyDeletefan the fire was more secular because of its copious amount of reviews in on relevant but not quite reverent things. the relevant magazine had a lot of up lifting messages in it which would make them more Christian that and the fact they mention Jesus so much. Fan the fire was more bringing you up to date relevant is more applying those things spiritually
ReplyDeleteFan the Fire was talking about shows that are doing bad or got canned like The Playboy Club and Free Agents , but Relevant was also talking about how entertainment is doing like for example there is this new,band called Enation and, but Relevant was more spiritual and directed towards God and Fan the Fire was more secular.
