Time Magazine Ad Analysis
Despite its beginning and transformations, TIME magazine has earned a following from all walks of life, both for their website and print magazines.
It was a magazine which started out with a conservative, older reader base. Eventually the news stories became exceedingly objective though, and
anyone attempting the find true news stories these days has probably heard of TIME magazine. In the December 14, 2015 issue of TIME magazine, an
upā€“andā€“coming website, Texture.com, has published an eyeā€“catching ad filled with commotion, fire, explosions and vibrant colors. The ad would
hardly be thought provoking though, without the sense of impending doom which surrounds the figures in the ad's isolated atmosphere. While one
firefighter tries to get the attention of another, the man beside the truckā€“ presumably the truck driverā€“ tries to warn both of the hapless firefighters of
an inevitable explosion. The fire has already reached the back of the vehicle, and as the flames had engulfed the front end, the fire will trickle
downward and backward, reaching and igniting every last explosive in it....show more content...
The smooth lines in the center of the ad, are created by the largest figures, a tablet and cargo truck that are parallel to one another. The fire breaks
the image and the destruction is vivid. The fire is also competes for space, flooding most of the page in orange hues. The water surging against it
apparently has failed, and at least two of the people in the ad seem to be in danger. It is a wholly unnatural disaster, but how does this relate to
Texture.com? What aspects of fire are characterizing the sign in its context? Are there multiple meanings to the fire? How does culture shape the fire's
meanings, and inform its author? What sociological and psychological issues are represented by the fire for the magazine's wide audience, and does the
advertisement ultimately fail in regard to gaining a

The Common Literary Magazine Analysis
Reading the two issues of The Common literary magazines, published at Amherst College, by Jennifer Acker, intensified my curiosity and
engagement with "my sense of place" within Lowell. The Common provides numerous articles including stories, essays, poems, photographs, and
other artworks that tell a story of the location and history of the origin. Being able to read this magazine allowed me to understand the importance of
learning about the world through different mediums of work, which I believe is very fascinating and much more intriguing to read. Not only did I
learn a lot about New Zealand, Bolivia, New York, France, etc., through the various mediums, but also about my own city. During the process of
reading both issues of the magazine, I was able to indulge myself into a further understanding of the...show more content...
My overall favorite mediums provided in The Common would be the poems and the artwork because of the depth and different details that each
contained. In my opinion, although each piece stood for itself, these two types of mediums always really intrigued me because it created more of
a visual for me, which is much more different than what I usually read. After reading The Common, I decided to choose artworks like paintings
and drawings to base off my own homage. I believe you can learn so much more about a specific location from this type of medium because it is a
different way to express the human mind and other senses that we do not usually use when learning about places. I chose a couple pieces of work
that stood out to me because of the connection I thought it had with my Lowellian homage. For instance, one of the pieces that I chose was "The Bay
of Nice", 1918, by Henri

editor in chief of Cosmopolitan is Michele Promaulayko is also the editor in chief of Yahoo Health. The magazine covers different issues related to
women like relationship, health, fashion, and beauty. The purpose of the magazine is to discuss the issues of women furthermore educate them about
health and fashion. The author places an importance on subjects such as lifestyle, relationships, and beauty in order to make women consider these
subjects. Just like any other magazine, Cosmopolitan has numerous amounts of advertisements in its magazines. The magazine sends a negative
message by suggesting women have to look a certain way and it also portrays women in a sexual way and expects women to have an appearance like
that of celebrities. Throughout the article, the advertisements suggest that their products will make the women reach the beauty standard. In order for
women to buy the products, the advertisers set the beauty standard high. The author engages the attention of young women by using a picture of a
model on the cover of the magazine. In the middle of the magazine, there is a model with perfect skin and hair. The author also uses phrases like,
"My life as a size 18..." to occupy the attention of young girls because nowadays countless young girls are concerned about their weight. The use of

Magazine Analysis: Seventeen Magazine
Seventeen Magazine
Seventeen magazine was the teen magazine to be published back in September of 1944. The goal of the magazine was to inspire teen girls to empower
themselves and that they to can accomplish anything. Seventeen just a few years later, it took a more fashion and romanceā€“oriented approach in
presenting their material, while still maintaining their model of promoting selfā€“confidence in young women.
Seventeen is a magazine that has a target audience that is teenagers. The magazine usually puts celebrities on the front page. These celebrities usually
are famous people who teenage girls are interested in. The magazine that I am going to describe was issued out in April of 2009 and this one features

The headlines read three hundred and fifty plus Hair Tips & Tricks. Another that says Your Ultimate Hair Guide
ā€“ Style it, Make it shine, and Grow it
Long. This headline is an eye catcher because many girls want to make their hair look good while doing it quickly. Hair Tips and tricks included
in the magazine range from styles for wavy hair, straight hair, supper curly hair, curly hair, and relaxed hair. They suggest the best product that will
help you achieve the style you want. Another appealing headline is the one that is offering suggestions on how to make your hair grow. I was once
told by a boy that they personally don't ljke short hair on girls because they think it makes them look sort of masculine, and girls who have long hair
look more feminine. There are a few more headlines to the cover. One says "Look Amazing, style secrets for your body". This offers many different
clothes that would look best on the different body types. The body type that the magazine offers clothing suggestions including petite, tall, pear shaped,

Lifestyle Magazine As An Example
Using Lifestyle magazine as an example, explore how media texts target specific audience.
Lifestyle magazine are magazines that tells the audience about the lifestyle they live and can have an impact on their lives as their views can be
subverted by the ideology of the magazine. This ideology comes from the creators of the magazine; they put what they think instead of what the public
thinks about a certain topic. In this writing i am going to talk about what the lifestyle magazines do in order to attract specific audience and how they
achieve in targeting specific audience.
The two lifestyle magazines that i am going to talk about are FHM and Cosmopolitan magazine. These magazines were released on november 2013 and
the target audience between the two has links and oppositions. On both magazines, the central image is the image of females; which suggests that these
magazines are targeted at female. But, on the front of these magazines it is a picture of seductive females which implies that the audience is different
and possibly males as they would get attracted.
I am going to start by analysing how FHM targets their audience and keep their loyalty so that they would not look for another magazine to replace the
FHM magazine they currently hold. This magazine is promoting antiā€“feminism as the main central image is of a woman with a seductive look which is
representing woman in a negative manner. Also, further connotes objectification of woman as the clothes signifiers shows

Men's Health Magazine Analysis Essay
The target audience for "Men's Health" magazine has always been perceived as the stereotypical man's man. The weight lifter, the health nut, or perhaps
just the thirty to fortyā€“fiveā€“yearā€“old father of two attempting to fight back the hands of time and look younger just a little bit longer. This is no longer
the case as the social climate has begun to change over the last few years however, the magazine is beginning to recognize that it's readership is
made up of a much more diverse and not so cookie cutter audience. A very specific example of that can be found inside the June, 2017 issue of
"Men's Health" magazine displayed in a twoā€“full page advertisement for a website geared towards the sexual health of gay men. Specifically, the...show

The website for this advertisement is a site geared towards the various aspects of sexual health associated with a relationship of any type. Proper
types of protection for yourself and your partner are referenced as well as ice breakers to discuss various topics that would be difficult to address
early on in any sexually active relationship. The most impressive message associated with them is the message at the bottom that reads "and talk to a
healthcare provider". It seems only a normal evolution that as social acceptance surrounding couples of every makeup would lead to a more open
and honest discussion about their sexual interactions and how to stay healthy and active at the same time. We have been observing messages of this
type since high school for the last 30 years, but only geared towards the more conventional ideas about sex and relationships. It is reasonable to
assume that the target audience for this message is the gay community. The individual models do not appear any different than any other person you
might encounter in the street or the subway or the local supermarket. The scenes are depicted so normally to send a very important message about how
normal a concept it should be to seek medical advice concerning your health whether you are gay or straight. The body posture and poses are very
casual only enhancing the message that conversations with healthcare

Time Magazine Analysis
On January 3rd, 1964, Martin Luther King got honored as "Man of the Year" on Time Magazine. Man of the Year was issued to recognize a person(s)
who made the most influence in that year. The magazine included a 7 page feature of all Martin Luther King's memorable moments during the civil
rights movement. Their recognition on King bringing a huge positive impact in changing history brings out how outlooked he was. At the time, Time
Magazine was very popular, it was one of the first magazine company's made, and was where people got their news. People who weren't interested in
how powerful the movement was, got a strong everlasting idea on how much influence he brought to America. He continued to gain awareness.

Even though African Americans were allowed to vote, southern states interfered their attempt in registering. As the march began on march 7 they
were trapped by troopers who had gas masks on and were armed with sticks. They attacked the marchers with their weapons and tear gassed them
too. The footage was shown on television all over the country and the only defense given back from the protesters was the force of nonviolence
carried on by Martin Luther King. The march had to stop because of violence, then began once again with the help of King. The marchers were
certified protection from National Guard Troops so no harm can come to them. By the time the capital of Alabama was reached, 30,000 people had
joined the march including priest, reverends, nuns, and whites. All marched together side by side. By this time Martin Luther king was well too known
for being one of the greatest leaders in History. With Kings past achievements and his appearance in the march, gave people hope that the movement
will go through. Being part of the march set a benefit to the people in the Southern States. With that, America's bad reputation of racism and segregation

Analysis of the Representation of Women in Magazines
In this essay, I am going to analyse how girls and women are represented in a range of magazines. Depending on the target audience, the contents of
the magazine differs. This essay will look and describe the differences between the magazines and why they are there. The age groups and magazines I
will be examining are; teenage with the magazine 'Sneak,' twenty something's with the magazine 'Glamour,' and middle aged with the magazine
'Women's Own.' I will give a general overview of each target audience and what is represented.
I will begin with 'Sneak' and the target audience of teenagers. Although aimed at teenagers, many eight and...show more content...
'Glamour' is aimed mainly at late teens to late twenties. When flicking through the magazine, I noticed that there was more text and adverts. This
reflects how the ageā€“group has more time and disposable income. Also, 'Glamour' was the most expensive magazine, being Š’Šˆ1.90 and included a
website, (see figure 2,) which again indicates a higher disposable income and extra time. The front cover yet again includes an hourglass shaped
celebrity, but she is older, although she still conforms to the dominant ideology for a young female. The magazine includes the latest fashion and
makeā€“up styles, but on a much larger scale when compared to 'Sneak.' "MASSIVE FASHION SPECIAL: 1322 HOT NEW LOOKS." It again
includes problem pages, but the problems are mainly on lifestyle or sex, instead of dating. 'Glamour' also advertises to the stereotypical women using
its front page with the advert; "20% off SHOES At Faith for every reader." Magazines can use this effectively, because it represents the expectations
reflected by society and the media.
'Women's Own' is mostly aimed at middle aged housewives, although older people do read it, because it would give them a chance of extended
youth. The front cover for the magazine, (see figure 3,) is dramatically different. It has older soap celebrities, who some women would be able to
relate to. The people on the cover are less bothered about

Entertainment Weekly Magazine Analysis Entertainment Weekly is a weekly periodical featuring entertainment related news stories. The magazine is
notable for featuring film, television, book, and music reviews. Unlike some magazines targeting specific demographics, Entertainment Weekly
appeals to a broad audience. Considering many people of all ages have an interest in the arts, the magazine appeals to both young and old readers. The
magazine features celebrities of all ages, along with typically lighthearted articles geared towards a broad audience. The magazine features
entertainment related stories that target both young and old readers alike. Considering the content of the magazine is related to the arts, the cover of the
magazine usually features actors promoting upcoming film or television projects. The most recent edition of the magazine features celebrity Rebel
Wilson on the May 8th edition promoting her upcoming film "Pitch Perfect 2". Similar to the current issue, the May 1st edition featured actor Tom
Hardy promoting the film "Mad Max: Fury Road'. Having celebrities on the cover (usually in character from the film they are promoting) helps generate
interest with the readers. The articles are visual, featuring pictures of the subject. The magazine articles are colorful, frequently featuring different
colored font making it visually appealing to the reader. Taking into account the magazine heavily relies on promoting upcoming films, the advertising

The magazine I have chosen for analysis is an issue of Men's Magazine for March 2010. The magazine conveys health tips and suggestions on one

nutrition with about half the magazine having advertisements for a variety of products including cars, cologne, clothes, alcohol, and healthy foods. The
audience that Men's Health portrays to is straight men above 18 years old who can afford to purchase the products advertised and have enough free

It seems that for men to care about toiletries they must have their own rebranding of the women's product to use it. In an ad for Wheaties Fuel cereal
on page 27 it shows a basketball player (Kevin Garnett), a football player (Peyton Manning), and a baseball player (Albert Pujols), with tough
demeanors and the line above them saying "Winning takes intense preparation." To promote their cereal, (which in the ad says has complex carbs,
Bā€“vitamins, and bold crunch) it shows three athletes from physically demanding sports who are modern violent male icons. "Because violence
establishes masculinity...the masculinity of the productā€“and hence the size of the potential marketā€“increases" (Katz, GRCM, 356). The athletes were all
different races of White, Black, and Hispanic. The do not represent any other races of people or athletes of other sports in this particular
advertisement. The simple act of placing an icon that other men look up to can make their product more successful and conveys a message that if
you are manly like this athlete than you will buy this cereal. On the side of Men's Health that covered the "2010 Guide to Style" which is 33 pages on
the end of the magazine I noticed that each page looks to be an advertisement though some pages were obvious ads, others included text on the side
explaining the guide to the style that was incorporated. The styles they talk about

Rhetorical Analysis Of People Magazine
People Magazine's audience comprises of mostly women, and the articles and advertisements within the magazine prove this. Such types of passages
consist primarily of gossip, however, there are some informational reads in the magazine. One advertisement in the September 18 issue of this year is
a safety message from Tide. While the advertisement is a safety message, it is obviously still trying to sell the product: Tide PODS. The targetaudience
of this advertisement is more specific than People Magazine; instead of only targeting women, Tide narrows its audience down to parents. Tide's
advertisement uses some pathos, but it heavily draws its appeals from ethos. In the advertisement, you immediately notice the focal point: a small child
reaching up to grab the laundry detergent left in a basket on the floor. Any parent would pale at a sight like this if they saw this happen in their
household; after all, laundry detergent is poisonous to humans. Immediately below the picture lie five words and they are followed by instructions to
further ensure the safety of your child. The five words used, "it only takes a second," have a meaning whose interpretation comes in many forms, even
if the meaning could be seen as selfā€“explanatory. If interpreted as a warning that an accident could occur in a second, it invokes the feeling of fear,
thus creating great emotional appeal; however, if interpreted as a statement saying that it only takes a second to put the laundry detergent away, the
words show that Tide does care about your children, thus establishing great credibility and possibly trust. They even tell you how to keep the detergent
away from your children, which creates greater ethos appeal. An interesting thing to note about this advertisement is the product. The Tide PODS is
not in the typical bag you would find them in; rather, the Tide PODS are now in a small tub. The small tub seen in the advertisement has been named
the "Childā€“Guard" tub, and the item is now one of the few ways Tide PODS are now sold. What is impressive is the dedication that Tide has towards
its consumers. If Tide didn't try to keep its consumers' children safe, then they'd not only lose out on an excellent marketing opportunity; they

Cosmopolitan Magazine Analysis Essay
According to Merriamā€“Webster, Cosmopolitan means "having wide international sophistication." It is also a popular beverage made famous by HBO's
Sex in the City. Cosmopolitan, therefore, is undoubtedly a fitting title for a magazine geared towards single woman who are looking for advice about
sex, fashion, and sophistication. Each month a variety of hegemonic articles are presented to Cosmopolitan's target audience as a means to satisfy their
desires to learn about sex, fashion, and beauty while continuing to subliminally reinforce the contrasting notion that women are flawed individuals and
must change themselves to be more readily accepted by men and the rest of society. Cosmopolitan directs all articles and advertisements towards a
...show more content...
The writers of Cosmopolitan are aware that their readers have different intentions for reading the magazine and are sure to address the variety of needs.
The writers and editors of Cosmopolitan act as a friend to the reader telling her she is not alone with her questions about men, fashion, or sexuality.
Articles attempt to comfort the reader by informing them, for example, that it is acceptable to engage in preā€“marital sex because there are women
throughout the world that are doing the same thing. The message in the article reinforces that all women are the same in the sense that they all have
the same problems (and Cosmo will help fix them). The message also emphasizes that men are polar opposites of women and are thus very confusing
to women. Cosmo aims to bridge the gap between men and women by befriending the reader and comforting her with her female dilemmas.
Cosmopolitan encourages its readers to embrace certain identities as a woman. The predominant belief is that women must learn how to get a man and
keep him. Gauntlett explains how "magazines are accused of suggesting that a man is the route to happiness" (Gauntlett, 192). In every issue there are
articles that teach women the tricks of how to attract men in a variety of circumstances based on their looks, actions, and conversations. Once a woman
has "her man" she must then read articles about how to pleasure him and keep him

The magazine balances out the text with pictures. Most of the articles, if not all of them actually have pictures to go with the content of the text not
only making it very informative through reading but also through observing the detailed pictures. Such qualities allow magazines well expand on their
target audience, allowing people with disabilities who can't read to understand what the article. One problem with the articles is that they are very
lengthy so this type of magazine would be mainly suitable for competent readers.
Top Gear
Reviewing this magazine we learn that it is issued every month at a realistic price of Š’Šˆ3.75. The title of the magazine "Top Gear" is well known as it

Sports Illustrated Magazine Analysis
The magazine I chose to analyze was the November 30th edition of Sports Illustrated, Lights, Cam, Action. This magazine is dominantly about male
professional and collegiate level sports, with the occasional article about a female. Being that this edition was published in November, the middle of
football season, the main sport that is featured throughout the magazine is football. Although football is the main focus, other sports such as track,
wrestling, soccer, basketball and others are featured in various articles. The article length in this particular magazine vary, but the average is usually
around two pages. Cam Newton is the star of this edition, with his picture on the cover, and a five page spread of him in the magazine. He is
portrayed as a hero, which would make any Carolina Panthers fan happy (Pg. 32). The reading level in this magazine is not too challenging, but may
be difficult for some. This magazine advertises typical products that are...show more content...
It has no advertisements or articles that are purely aimed at women and only features a woman once. The editors do not waste their time writing
about women's sports and leagues because they know men are not interested and believe that women's sports are inferior to men's. Though the
magazine is gender biased, I believe it can be read by a wide range of males. I think the most popular age group to read Sports Illustrated is 30 to 50
year old men. People who read this are not poor nor rich, but middle class. The readers have a decent amount of education, because they have to be
able to read some of the lengthy articles, and they live in urban and suburban areas. To be interested in this magazine, you must be an avid sports fan
and contain prior knowledge about the sports featured. People who read Sports Illustrated magazine are men with some misogynist views against
women and believe that they are superior in the sports

crowd. The three top ranking magazines from America were "Puck", "Judge" and "Life". Illustrators such as T.S. Sullivant worked for all three and his

Time Magazine Ad Analysis

  • 1. Time Magazine Ad Analysis Despite its beginning and transformations, TIME magazine has earned a following from all walks of life, both for their website and print magazines. It was a magazine which started out with a conservative, older reader base. Eventually the news stories became exceedingly objective though, and anyone attempting the find true news stories these days has probably heard of TIME magazine. In the December 14, 2015 issue of TIME magazine, an upā€“andā€“coming website, Texture.com, has published an eyeā€“catching ad filled with commotion, fire, explosions and vibrant colors. The ad would hardly be thought provoking though, without the sense of impending doom which surrounds the figures in the ad's isolated atmosphere. While one firefighter tries to get the attention of another, the man beside the truckā€“ presumably the truck driverā€“ tries to warn both of the hapless firefighters of an inevitable explosion. The fire has already reached the back of the vehicle, and as the flames had engulfed the front end, the fire will trickle downward and backward, reaching and igniting every last explosive in it....show more content... The smooth lines in the center of the ad, are created by the largest figures, a tablet and cargo truck that are parallel to one another. The fire breaks the image and the destruction is vivid. The fire is also competes for space, flooding most of the page in orange hues. The water surging against it apparently has failed, and at least two of the people in the ad seem to be in danger. It is a wholly unnatural disaster, but how does this relate to Texture.com? What aspects of fire are characterizing the sign in its context? Are there multiple meanings to the fire? How does culture shape the fire's meanings, and inform its author? What sociological and psychological issues are represented by the fire for the magazine's wide audience, and does the advertisement ultimately fail in regard to gaining a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. The Common Literary Magazine Analysis Reading the two issues of The Common literary magazines, published at Amherst College, by Jennifer Acker, intensified my curiosity and engagement with "my sense of place" within Lowell. The Common provides numerous articles including stories, essays, poems, photographs, and other artworks that tell a story of the location and history of the origin. Being able to read this magazine allowed me to understand the importance of learning about the world through different mediums of work, which I believe is very fascinating and much more intriguing to read. Not only did I learn a lot about New Zealand, Bolivia, New York, France, etc., through the various mediums, but also about my own city. During the process of reading both issues of the magazine, I was able to indulge myself into a further understanding of the...show more content... My overall favorite mediums provided in The Common would be the poems and the artwork because of the depth and different details that each contained. In my opinion, although each piece stood for itself, these two types of mediums always really intrigued me because it created more of a visual for me, which is much more different than what I usually read. After reading The Common, I decided to choose artworks like paintings and drawings to base off my own homage. I believe you can learn so much more about a specific location from this type of medium because it is a different way to express the human mind and other senses that we do not usually use when learning about places. I chose a couple pieces of work that stood out to me because of the connection I thought it had with my Lowellian homage. For instance, one of the pieces that I chose was "The Bay of Nice", 1918, by Henri Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Magazine Analysis Of Cosmopolitan Magazine The international fashion magazine Cosmopolitan which, started as a family magazine, afterward, changed into a women's magazine. The former editor in chief of Cosmopolitan is Michele Promaulayko is also the editor in chief of Yahoo Health. The magazine covers different issues related to women like relationship, health, fashion, and beauty. The purpose of the magazine is to discuss the issues of women furthermore educate them about health and fashion. The author places an importance on subjects such as lifestyle, relationships, and beauty in order to make women consider these subjects. Just like any other magazine, Cosmopolitan has numerous amounts of advertisements in its magazines. The magazine sends a negative message by suggesting women have to look a certain way and it also portrays women in a sexual way and expects women to have an appearance like that of celebrities. Throughout the article, the advertisements suggest that their products will make the women reach the beauty standard. In order for women to buy the products, the advertisers set the beauty standard high. The author engages the attention of young women by using a picture of a model on the cover of the magazine. In the middle of the magazine, there is a model with perfect skin and hair. The author also uses phrases like, "My life as a size 18..." to occupy the attention of young girls because nowadays countless young girls are concerned about their weight. The use of images and phrases make the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Magazine Analysis: Seventeen Magazine Seventeen Magazine Seventeen magazine was the teen magazine to be published back in September of 1944. The goal of the magazine was to inspire teen girls to empower themselves and that they to can accomplish anything. Seventeen just a few years later, it took a more fashion and romanceā€“oriented approach in presenting their material, while still maintaining their model of promoting selfā€“confidence in young women. Seventeen is a magazine that has a target audience that is teenagers. The magazine usually puts celebrities on the front page. These celebrities usually are famous people who teenage girls are interested in. The magazine that I am going to describe was issued out in April of 2009 and this one features Lauren Conrad. Lauren Conrad...show more content... The headlines read three hundred and fifty plus Hair Tips & Tricks. Another that says Your Ultimate Hair Guide ā€“ Style it, Make it shine, and Grow it Long. This headline is an eye catcher because many girls want to make their hair look good while doing it quickly. Hair Tips and tricks included in the magazine range from styles for wavy hair, straight hair, supper curly hair, curly hair, and relaxed hair. They suggest the best product that will help you achieve the style you want. Another appealing headline is the one that is offering suggestions on how to make your hair grow. I was once told by a boy that they personally don't ljke short hair on girls because they think it makes them look sort of masculine, and girls who have long hair look more feminine. There are a few more headlines to the cover. One says "Look Amazing, style secrets for your body". This offers many different clothes that would look best on the different body types. The body type that the magazine offers clothing suggestions including petite, tall, pear shaped, and Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Parenting Magazine Analysis One of the magazines I chose to discuss was the parenting magazine. in this issue it the cover did not fit the typical "Media Fixations" (article) of the rich famous Caucasian woman. there was some differences with this particular cover it displayed a Asian mother and daughter, although bothmother and daughter was seen smiling and gazing in to each other eyes. In the magazine it also discussed different articles that discussed how parents can assist their children in learning to dress themselves, examples on how mothers can stay fit, parent approved toys and quick easy steps for thanksgiving recipes.

  • 6. Lifestyle Magazine As An Example Using Lifestyle magazine as an example, explore how media texts target specific audience. Lifestyle magazine are magazines that tells the audience about the lifestyle they live and can have an impact on their lives as their views can be subverted by the ideology of the magazine. This ideology comes from the creators of the magazine; they put what they think instead of what the public thinks about a certain topic. In this writing i am going to talk about what the lifestyle magazines do in order to attract specific audience and how they achieve in targeting specific audience. The two lifestyle magazines that i am going to talk about are FHM and Cosmopolitan magazine. These magazines were released on november 2013 and the target audience between the two has links and oppositions. On both magazines, the central image is the image of females; which suggests that these magazines are targeted at female. But, on the front of these magazines it is a picture of seductive females which implies that the audience is different and possibly males as they would get attracted. I am going to start by analysing how FHM targets their audience and keep their loyalty so that they would not look for another magazine to replace the FHM magazine they currently hold. This magazine is promoting antiā€“feminism as the main central image is of a woman with a seductive look which is representing woman in a negative manner. Also, further connotes objectification of woman as the clothes signifiers shows Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Articles investigating deep into the world of Carly's and Mary's life, including beauty, life tips, trends, and other crazy, random things! How Did This All Begin? This crazy idea to design and create a whole magazine was blossomed on the 7/7/16, when Mary had an idea to make a one page article about, "Is Yana lying about being a year 10 or not?" That was when Mary thought it would be a wicked idea to just make a whole magazine, because why not?

  • 8. Men's Health Magazine Analysis Essay The target audience for "Men's Health" magazine has always been perceived as the stereotypical man's man. The weight lifter, the health nut, or perhaps just the thirty to fortyā€“fiveā€“yearā€“old father of two attempting to fight back the hands of time and look younger just a little bit longer. This is no longer the case as the social climate has begun to change over the last few years however, the magazine is beginning to recognize that it's readership is made up of a much more diverse and not so cookie cutter audience. A very specific example of that can be found inside the June, 2017 issue of "Men's Health" magazine displayed in a twoā€“full page advertisement for a website geared towards the sexual health of gay men. Specifically, the...show more content... The website for this advertisement is a site geared towards the various aspects of sexual health associated with a relationship of any type. Proper types of protection for yourself and your partner are referenced as well as ice breakers to discuss various topics that would be difficult to address early on in any sexually active relationship. The most impressive message associated with them is the message at the bottom that reads "and talk to a healthcare provider". It seems only a normal evolution that as social acceptance surrounding couples of every makeup would lead to a more open and honest discussion about their sexual interactions and how to stay healthy and active at the same time. We have been observing messages of this type since high school for the last 30 years, but only geared towards the more conventional ideas about sex and relationships. It is reasonable to assume that the target audience for this message is the gay community. The individual models do not appear any different than any other person you might encounter in the street or the subway or the local supermarket. The scenes are depicted so normally to send a very important message about how normal a concept it should be to seek medical advice concerning your health whether you are gay or straight. The body posture and poses are very casual only enhancing the message that conversations with healthcare Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Time Magazine Analysis On January 3rd, 1964, Martin Luther King got honored as "Man of the Year" on Time Magazine. Man of the Year was issued to recognize a person(s) who made the most influence in that year. The magazine included a 7 page feature of all Martin Luther King's memorable moments during the civil rights movement. Their recognition on King bringing a huge positive impact in changing history brings out how outlooked he was. At the time, Time Magazine was very popular, it was one of the first magazine company's made, and was where people got their news. People who weren't interested in how powerful the movement was, got a strong everlasting idea on how much influence he brought to America. He continued to gain awareness. Towards the end of the year he...show more content... Even though African Americans were allowed to vote, southern states interfered their attempt in registering. As the march began on march 7 they were trapped by troopers who had gas masks on and were armed with sticks. They attacked the marchers with their weapons and tear gassed them too. The footage was shown on television all over the country and the only defense given back from the protesters was the force of nonviolence carried on by Martin Luther King. The march had to stop because of violence, then began once again with the help of King. The marchers were certified protection from National Guard Troops so no harm can come to them. By the time the capital of Alabama was reached, 30,000 people had joined the march including priest, reverends, nuns, and whites. All marched together side by side. By this time Martin Luther king was well too known for being one of the greatest leaders in History. With Kings past achievements and his appearance in the march, gave people hope that the movement will go through. Being part of the march set a benefit to the people in the Southern States. With that, America's bad reputation of racism and segregation couldn't take anymore breakage. Five months later, President Lyndon Johnson announced that a new bill for voters rights would be made through congress that kept states from Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Analysis of the Representation of Women in Magazines In this essay, I am going to analyse how girls and women are represented in a range of magazines. Depending on the target audience, the contents of the magazine differs. This essay will look and describe the differences between the magazines and why they are there. The age groups and magazines I will be examining are; teenage with the magazine 'Sneak,' twenty something's with the magazine 'Glamour,' and middle aged with the magazine 'Women's Own.' I will give a general overview of each target audience and what is represented. I will begin with 'Sneak' and the target audience of teenagers. Although aimed at teenagers, many eight and...show more content... 'Glamour' is aimed mainly at late teens to late twenties. When flicking through the magazine, I noticed that there was more text and adverts. This reflects how the ageā€“group has more time and disposable income. Also, 'Glamour' was the most expensive magazine, being Š’Šˆ1.90 and included a website, (see figure 2,) which again indicates a higher disposable income and extra time. The front cover yet again includes an hourglass shaped celebrity, but she is older, although she still conforms to the dominant ideology for a young female. The magazine includes the latest fashion and makeā€“up styles, but on a much larger scale when compared to 'Sneak.' "MASSIVE FASHION SPECIAL: 1322 HOT NEW LOOKS." It again includes problem pages, but the problems are mainly on lifestyle or sex, instead of dating. 'Glamour' also advertises to the stereotypical women using its front page with the advert; "20% off SHOES At Faith for every reader." Magazines can use this effectively, because it represents the expectations reflected by society and the media. 'Women's Own' is mostly aimed at middle aged housewives, although older people do read it, because it would give them a chance of extended youth. The front cover for the magazine, (see figure 3,) is dramatically different. It has older soap celebrities, who some women would be able to relate to. The people on the cover are less bothered about Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. Entertainment Weekly Magazine Analysis Entertainment Weekly is a weekly periodical featuring entertainment related news stories. The magazine is notable for featuring film, television, book, and music reviews. Unlike some magazines targeting specific demographics, Entertainment Weekly appeals to a broad audience. Considering many people of all ages have an interest in the arts, the magazine appeals to both young and old readers. The magazine features celebrities of all ages, along with typically lighthearted articles geared towards a broad audience. The magazine features entertainment related stories that target both young and old readers alike. Considering the content of the magazine is related to the arts, the cover of the magazine usually features actors promoting upcoming film or television projects. The most recent edition of the magazine features celebrity Rebel Wilson on the May 8th edition promoting her upcoming film "Pitch Perfect 2". Similar to the current issue, the May 1st edition featured actor Tom Hardy promoting the film "Mad Max: Fury Road'. Having celebrities on the cover (usually in character from the film they are promoting) helps generate interest with the readers. The articles are visual, featuring pictures of the subject. The magazine articles are colorful, frequently featuring different colored font making it visually appealing to the reader. Taking into account the magazine heavily relies on promoting upcoming films, the advertising featured Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Essay about MenŠ²Š‚ā„¢s Magazine Analysis The magazine I have chosen for analysis is an issue of Men's Magazine for March 2010. The magazine conveys health tips and suggestions on one cover and on the other cover has tips for men's style. 33 pages of the magazine cover style and 136 pages cover health, sex, relationships, fitness, and nutrition with about half the magazine having advertisements for a variety of products including cars, cologne, clothes, alcohol, and healthy foods. The audience that Men's Health portrays to is straight men above 18 years old who can afford to purchase the products advertised and have enough free time to try the health and fitness tips given. The purpose of Men's Health is to be a well rounded men's magazine that covers what most women's magazines...show more content... It seems that for men to care about toiletries they must have their own rebranding of the women's product to use it. In an ad for Wheaties Fuel cereal on page 27 it shows a basketball player (Kevin Garnett), a football player (Peyton Manning), and a baseball player (Albert Pujols), with tough demeanors and the line above them saying "Winning takes intense preparation." To promote their cereal, (which in the ad says has complex carbs, Bā€“vitamins, and bold crunch) it shows three athletes from physically demanding sports who are modern violent male icons. "Because violence establishes masculinity...the masculinity of the productā€“and hence the size of the potential marketā€“increases" (Katz, GRCM, 356). The athletes were all different races of White, Black, and Hispanic. The do not represent any other races of people or athletes of other sports in this particular advertisement. The simple act of placing an icon that other men look up to can make their product more successful and conveys a message that if you are manly like this athlete than you will buy this cereal. On the side of Men's Health that covered the "2010 Guide to Style" which is 33 pages on the end of the magazine I noticed that each page looks to be an advertisement though some pages were obvious ads, others included text on the side explaining the guide to the style that was incorporated. The styles they talk about Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Rhetorical Analysis Of People Magazine People Magazine's audience comprises of mostly women, and the articles and advertisements within the magazine prove this. Such types of passages consist primarily of gossip, however, there are some informational reads in the magazine. One advertisement in the September 18 issue of this year is a safety message from Tide. While the advertisement is a safety message, it is obviously still trying to sell the product: Tide PODS. The targetaudience of this advertisement is more specific than People Magazine; instead of only targeting women, Tide narrows its audience down to parents. Tide's advertisement uses some pathos, but it heavily draws its appeals from ethos. In the advertisement, you immediately notice the focal point: a small child reaching up to grab the laundry detergent left in a basket on the floor. Any parent would pale at a sight like this if they saw this happen in their household; after all, laundry detergent is poisonous to humans. Immediately below the picture lie five words and they are followed by instructions to further ensure the safety of your child. The five words used, "it only takes a second," have a meaning whose interpretation comes in many forms, even if the meaning could be seen as selfā€“explanatory. If interpreted as a warning that an accident could occur in a second, it invokes the feeling of fear, thus creating great emotional appeal; however, if interpreted as a statement saying that it only takes a second to put the laundry detergent away, the words show that Tide does care about your children, thus establishing great credibility and possibly trust. They even tell you how to keep the detergent away from your children, which creates greater ethos appeal. An interesting thing to note about this advertisement is the product. The Tide PODS is not in the typical bag you would find them in; rather, the Tide PODS are now in a small tub. The small tub seen in the advertisement has been named the "Childā€“Guard" tub, and the item is now one of the few ways Tide PODS are now sold. What is impressive is the dedication that Tide has towards its consumers. If Tide didn't try to keep its consumers' children safe, then they'd not only lose out on an excellent marketing opportunity; they Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. Cosmopolitan Magazine Analysis Essay According to Merriamā€“Webster, Cosmopolitan means "having wide international sophistication." It is also a popular beverage made famous by HBO's Sex in the City. Cosmopolitan, therefore, is undoubtedly a fitting title for a magazine geared towards single woman who are looking for advice about sex, fashion, and sophistication. Each month a variety of hegemonic articles are presented to Cosmopolitan's target audience as a means to satisfy their desires to learn about sex, fashion, and beauty while continuing to subliminally reinforce the contrasting notion that women are flawed individuals and must change themselves to be more readily accepted by men and the rest of society. Cosmopolitan directs all articles and advertisements towards a ...show more content... The writers of Cosmopolitan are aware that their readers have different intentions for reading the magazine and are sure to address the variety of needs. The writers and editors of Cosmopolitan act as a friend to the reader telling her she is not alone with her questions about men, fashion, or sexuality. Articles attempt to comfort the reader by informing them, for example, that it is acceptable to engage in preā€“marital sex because there are women throughout the world that are doing the same thing. The message in the article reinforces that all women are the same in the sense that they all have the same problems (and Cosmo will help fix them). The message also emphasizes that men are polar opposites of women and are thus very confusing to women. Cosmo aims to bridge the gap between men and women by befriending the reader and comforting her with her female dilemmas. Cosmopolitan encourages its readers to embrace certain identities as a woman. The predominant belief is that women must learn how to get a man and keep him. Gauntlett explains how "magazines are accused of suggesting that a man is the route to happiness" (Gauntlett, 192). In every issue there are articles that teach women the tricks of how to attract men in a variety of circumstances based on their looks, actions, and conversations. Once a woman has "her man" she must then read articles about how to pleasure him and keep him Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Also this leads back to the content of the magazine, issues affecting not just one part of the world, but generally affecting the whole world. The magazine balances out the text with pictures. Most of the articles, if not all of them actually have pictures to go with the content of the text not only making it very informative through reading but also through observing the detailed pictures. Such qualities allow magazines well expand on their target audience, allowing people with disabilities who can't read to understand what the article. One problem with the articles is that they are very lengthy so this type of magazine would be mainly suitable for competent readers. Top Gear Reviewing this magazine we learn that it is issued every month at a realistic price of Š’Šˆ3.75. The title of the magazine "Top Gear" is well known as it coā€“insides with the BBC television programme.

  • 17. Sports Illustrated Magazine Analysis The magazine I chose to analyze was the November 30th edition of Sports Illustrated, Lights, Cam, Action. This magazine is dominantly about male professional and collegiate level sports, with the occasional article about a female. Being that this edition was published in November, the middle of football season, the main sport that is featured throughout the magazine is football. Although football is the main focus, other sports such as track, wrestling, soccer, basketball and others are featured in various articles. The article length in this particular magazine vary, but the average is usually around two pages. Cam Newton is the star of this edition, with his picture on the cover, and a five page spread of him in the magazine. He is portrayed as a hero, which would make any Carolina Panthers fan happy (Pg. 32). The reading level in this magazine is not too challenging, but may be difficult for some. This magazine advertises typical products that are...show more content... It has no advertisements or articles that are purely aimed at women and only features a woman once. The editors do not waste their time writing about women's sports and leagues because they know men are not interested and believe that women's sports are inferior to men's. Though the magazine is gender biased, I believe it can be read by a wide range of males. I think the most popular age group to read Sports Illustrated is 30 to 50 year old men. People who read this are not poor nor rich, but middle class. The readers have a decent amount of education, because they have to be able to read some of the lengthy articles, and they live in urban and suburban areas. To be interested in this magazine, you must be an avid sports fan and contain prior knowledge about the sports featured. People who read Sports Illustrated magazine are men with some misogynist views against women and believe that they are superior in the sports Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The same goes for illustration overseas as well. (www.illustrationhistory.org) In England, the children's book market had been growing at a rapid pace, resulting to the introduction of books that featured fullā€“color reproductions. Humor illustration was also very popular amongst the public crowd. The three top ranking magazines from America were "Puck", "Judge" and "Life". Illustrators such as T.S. Sullivant worked for all three and his depiction of anthropomorphic animals in the magazines inspired future animators such as Walt Disney (www.illustrationhistory.org).
