Main image. This is posed with a head shot
of the singer looking down and away from
the camera so it seems as though her
doesn’t notice or care about the cameras
and that he is in deep thought so it appears
natural.
These are the main features that can be found in the
magazine. There is a number which is the page
reference so the reader can find what they are
looking for easily followed by a simple title to tell
the reader what is on that page

• Language:
• This magazine is written in a casual register as there is a use of colloquialisms. For example ‘Blows
us away’ sounds very casual and language that someone who is apart of a particular group of
people that may read this magazine (especially through the use of the word ‘us’) would understand.
• Institution:
• It is published by the Bauer Media Group.
• It operates in over 16 countries worldwide
• It sells over 38 million of its magazine titles per week
• Ideology:
• The ideology of the magazine is to promote artists of all genres and their music.
• Audience:
• This magazine is targeted at both men and women from the age 12 and upwards as some of the
artists may not be known to younger generations and the language may be hard to comprehend.
• Representation:
• There is only one main picture here of the Artic Monkeys. It is a two shot of the band members
performing live. Their casual clothes e.g the plain black tank top, make it easier for an audience to
relate to them, especially fans of their music, as they may feel that aside from their Rock Star
status, they are the same as the typical reader.
