In my magazine I have used a
direct mode of address. I know
The hypodermic theory can be
implied because the target
audience are older teenagers. So
they become inspired by the older
generation. So this women on the
front cover, will make teenagers
because inspired by her and want
to learn how to have skin like her
and hair like her. So this is really
important for the target audience
for this magazine. Whereas it there
was an older lady in her late 60s
teenagers wouldn't been as
inspired by her as there would be
a huge age difference.
The Gratification theory can be
implied as we can see because the
magazine informs and educates.
This is a key part to a magazine
cover as people who want to
learn will come and buy the
magazine knowing it will educate
them and be helpful for them.
Another reason why the
Gratification Theory is a key
point to a magazine cover is
because it makes an active
audience rather than the effect
theory which would create a
passive audience.
this because the women on the
front cover is looking directly
at the reader giving clear eye
contact, this is communicating
with the audience so therefore
the reader will fell involved.
Also language such as your
which has been included in the
front cover creates a direct
mode of address as you are
involving them in the texts.
Formal language has
been used for
example exclusive
hairstyles that you
can follow this
means I am not
using informal
language such as
slang. This will
attract a middle to
higher class target
audience.
HYPERBOLE has been used on the front
cover of this magazine. This has been done
to exaggerate the magazine and to make it
seem new.
I applied the theory of preferred or dominant reading because my
target audience is people who want to improve themselves so they
buy my magazine to help them. This means my magazine will not
be challenged in anyway because they will agree with what the
magazine contains.
