magazine analysis, rough copy 1

For my rough idea of a magazine i have decided to create a teen version of Elle. For my masthead I used a simple font for both words however made them slightly different. I made the font for teen quite playful and childish to give the impression of teenagers. However used a more sophisticated font for Elle, as it is a more well known higher class magazine. I also used two different colours however chose colours that related to the target audience of teenage girls. The photo also relates to teenage girls. The person in the photo, Chloe Grace Moretz, is a very well known actress by most teenage girls and most teenage girls will look up to her as a positive role model. the cover lines across the magazine also relate to teenage girls as a lot of them are about make-up, clothes, shopping and diet. however, the diet cover line can be a bad influence on many teenage girls as many of them may feel after reading this they are overweight and need to lose weight. Although Elle is a quite well known high up magazine for upper class people, teen Elle is cheaper as a lot of teenage girls aren't earning money for themselves and cant afford to buy lots of copies. the layout of the magazine is quite full, there is a lot to read. this shows that it is also for more lower class as well as the price showing this. C's to D's in social integration. the colours in the magazine also show that it is for females as they are pinks/purples and light blues. 

Look Magazine Analysis

Another popular womens magazine is LOOK. This is a magazine which includes celebrity real life stories and celebrity fashion. The colours on the magazine are quite bright and girly, colours used are mainly pinks and yellows and this shows they are aimed at women. The layout of the magazine is quite packed, there are a lot of cover lines. This shows its more for the lower class, C2's and below in the social integration. Also it shows the buyers of the magazine do not earn a lot of money because of the cover line 'under £25 miracle buys'. Also the price of the magazine is quite cheap. The title is once again covered by the celebrity in the main image however because its a well known magazine people recognise it anyway. Also because it bold and stands out. The celebrity in the image is well known and a icon for many young teens who would buy the magazine. Also those who like the celebrity will want to read the story about her therefore will buy the magazine. 

Elle Magazine Analysis

Although the name of the magazine is covered by the celebrity in the main image, it is still clear what the magazine is. This is because its such a well known magazine and logo. It is so recognisable because not just on this issue, but on all of them the title stands out against the background and catches the readers eye. The main image is what catches the readers eye first, this is because its the biggest thing on the magazine. Also because the person in the image is such a well known role model for the main audience of the magazine.  The colours in the magazine show the magazine is aimed at females however they are quite dark colours. The cover lines also appeal to women because they are based around shopping, fitness and women celebrities that could also be role models for women. The magazine layout is quite spacious. This shows it is aimed at more higher class. A's and B's in social intergration.

representation task

religion - TV show

This video focuses on the main remarks made against one housemate from a different country. The show has people from all over the world come together and expects them to respect each other. This series however had thousands of complaints made against it because of housemates making racist comments. This creates a negative representation of not only the housemates making the comments but also the show. People as young as 15 watch the show and sometimes look up to some of the celebritys in the show. this means they are learning off them to make nasty racist comments and this is a negative thing

Waterloo Road -Barry Attacks Kacey

representation task

gender - TV show

This video gives off a negative and a positive representation. Negative because the brother is telling his sister she needs to be normal and making out what she is doing is wrong. this can make people in the same situation in real life feel that them wanting to change gender could be wrong. however it gives off a positive representation because the girl is standing up for herself and saying she wants to be who she really is. A boy. this can help people in real life to believe in themselves. especially as some of the main audience is young kids at school who may feel like can not talk to anyone about it

GeordieShore

representation task

Gender - TV show/Film/Newspaper

Geordie shore is a popular reality show shown on MTV based around people who live in a house together and get videoed 24/7, mainly them going out and 'pulling'. the people in the video are two of the people in the show. Both boys and both with a strong sexuality. by this I mean they go out almost every night, drink, pull birds and take them home. A different girl almost every night. This shows a strong sexuality. However the show gives off a negative representation. This is because kids as young as 14 are watching the show and learning off the people

Representation task 

class - newspaper

the cover about the royal baby is a positive representation because it is something that our country can be proud of and talk about. Anyone can have a child, however because they are on the front of the newspapers it shows they are upper class. Also the fact they say 'Royal Baby' shows they are important.
