Magazine Analysis

[For the past few weeks I have not been posting any updates to my journey because I have been doing my research on all five chosen magazines]

For this task, I am required to pinpoint all the subjects and elements that make up different types of magazines i.e mainstream magazine such as Q to display my understanding of the codes and conventions of magazine covers, contents page, and double-page spread. I have put all the analyses within a presentation format in Prezi. This can be seen below.

Double Page Spread: Language Analysis

Since I will be making a double page spread as well as the front cover and contents page for the main task, I thought it would be a good idea to analyze the language because this is the part where it is heavily informative and the type of language used can be reflected with the type of target audience you are reaching out to (i.e young people are usually more comfortable with slang because within society, they are fully aware and understand the colloquial language). It will help me to write up the double page spread in the construction process whilst making sure to represent my audience as this is a key element to creating a sense of community for my readers (in reference to Janice Winship's theory). This can be seen in the Prezi presentation.
