Question 1,2 and 3

1) Explain two ways the extract fits the genre of lifestyle magazine.
    Use examples from the extract.
A) Direct address and the other is a celebrity that has been used on the front cover. These two conventions have been used get the reader feel more involved. Direct address males you feel like the magazine is speaking to you and asking you questions. If the celebrity was not looking straight at you, it would not make you feel like the magazine appeals to you.

2) Explain how each of the following is used in the extract to create effect: 

• Layout 
• Typography 
• Colour 
• Language 

A)  The layout of the magazine is like this so that the main image stands out and makes you want to read the magazine. The main cover line is 'summer's here' it is written in bold because it is telling you something. 
       The typography of the magazine is sans serif to make the text stand out and catch the readers eye so that it makes you want to read the magazine. The text near the bottom of the page is serif to make it look fancy. This is a stereotype aimed at women. On the magazine most of the cover lines are bold these are bold so they stand out and make the reader get interested. 
        The colour of the magazine headline is pink so that it stands out from the rest of the page because the other colours on the page are black or white. the background is a grey colour so that the writing and image stand out more from the rest of the page. The main cover line is black so that it stands out. 
        
 3) Discuss how people and lifestyles are represented in the extract. 
     Refer to stereotypes in your answer
     use examples from the extract 
A) The are not many issues with the representation of the magazine. She is not wearing any tight clothing or anything that would represent them in a sexual way. The way she is looking on the magazine is a little promiscuous. Some of the headlines may be considered promiscuous. One of the headlines talks about marriages. This represents females in a negative way because these type of magazines don't normally have much variety in subject. 

Easter Homework

1. A main image is important in a magazine because it draws the customer in and shows them a slight overview on the magazineIn this magazine they used a well known successful person for the main image to give the reader someone to aspire to. It also gives the reader a chance to learn about that person. 

2.The key words of each story is highlighted in bold, for example in the title Your party dress code the word party is highlighted in a red font possibly to show the passion or the increased physical activity that often happens at a party also the font used for the word party is serif this could suggest the opposite to what the font colour suggests but as the article is about choosing the parties dress code so it nicely links in with the article.

Three magazines

                            According to the wheel this magazine is about love and inner peace.

However as you can see this magazine is showing the best footballer in the world and is about football not love or peace.

This magazine has a purple backround and many cover lines talking about things such as sex. This tells us that it is aimed at women. Furthermore the title of the magazine and the celebrits dress are lighter colour balancing the colours.

This magazine uses colours red, yellow, white and many shades of blue. Red aswell as blue this colour is very masculine to draw the attention of men. The red is also used to show stamina and physical energy. Blue - Blue is used in many different shades the light blue is a soothing, calm blue. But the darker blue gives a thick, bold look which makes the viewer see it initially, before anything else. Again in this magazine the background is a poring, plain colour, this is over used in magazines to make the more important ideas stand out. Yellow - Yellow is used here to highlight very few bits of text, this colour is used because it is bright and stands out.
