Exam: Section A: Question 3

The magazine is titled 'Bliss' connoting its predominately targeted for teenage girls. The magazine is very stereotypical towards feminine teenage girls, this is due to the large amount of the colour pink, surrounding 'Selena Gomez'. Following on, the vast articles especially surrounding 'Selena Gomez', who is seen as a teenage girl idol, are explaining ways to date teenage boys, and information about teenage gossip, which is translated into language for teenage girls to be able to read.

'Selena Gomez' is the idol in the middle of the magazine, connoting it will attract new audiences, who idolise 'Selena Gomez'. The articles are radial balanced around 'Selena Gomez', meaning the magazine doesn't look, colloquial or informal towards the reader. However, it could also been seen as a sophisticated teenage girls magazine. The target audience for the magazine is very obvious, with the vibrant colours, varying from hot pink, to baby blue. This connotes that its predominately for teenage girls, also with the article at the bottom of the page, with affordable girls clothes to purchase.

Inside the feminine, teenage girls magazine 'Bliss', consists of the contents, which annotates the magazine in miniature form, varying from page numbers on the magazine informing the audience about what the articles conclude the pages into the annotations. Following on, the far left quadrant of the page, many of the important articles and interviews run vertically down the page, varying from celebrity interviews to make-up tips. The four specific vertically articles, could connote that these four articles are the most important and worth while articles too read, inside the magazine.

Furthermore, the contents conclude the pages once again, giving you a brief sentence, informing you what the page concludes. The contents page is predominately placed inside the magazine, as it's traditional to include contents in, a book, magazine, annual. Also, the contents page informs you briefly about the magazine, which attracts the reader, because there able to read brief sentences about the magazine to see if they appreciate the magazine. Lastly, the contents is once again vibrant, which is targeted for young teenage girls, due to the colours varying from hot pink to white, which is predominately targeted for young teenage girls.

Inside the magazine 'Bliss', is the 'Your Space' page. The 'Your Space' page I'm analysing, is very vibrant. The colours vary from dark pink, to purple, and baby blue once again. The vibrant colours, once again connote the magazine is targeted for stereotypical teenage young girls. 'Your Space', means there is a dedicated page for the targeted audiences thoughts, also the page advertises there twitter and Facebook pages, to find out more additional teenage girls gossip.

Following on, the dedicated page for the targeted audiences thoughts 'Your Space' is very colloquial and informal, connoting  its translated into language for teenage girls to be able to read. The colloquial language such as, 'Mo', which is the abbreviation for 'moment', however this colloquial language is used, due to its effortless for teenage girls to read, and attracts new readers with the informal language. The 'Your Space' page varies many pictures with the fan base with celebrities, with all of the pictures including teenage girls.
Inside the magazine 'Bliss' is the last page, the index. The last page of the magazine is very vibrant again, with colours varying from, hot pink, to dark purple. Which connotes, that the magazine is defiantly suited for teenage girls. However, the index includes an article which is orchestrated from a teenage boy, which describes how he likes the magazine. This connotes that the vast amount of audience is teenage girls, but could also be teenage boys or young girls or young women. In the middle of the page, is colour chart, which includes what articles and information was suited to the audience the most.

Furthermore, in the far left quadrant of the page, runs the information, vertically of the 'Bliss' company. The information informs you about, emailing 'Bliss' about your thoughts and ideas. Lastly, the vibrant colours connote the magazine is targeted for stereotypical teenage girls, also the vote in the bottom left quadrant of the page shows which teenage girls voted there favourite celebrity brother idol, connoting its a teenage girls magazine, especially how the page is represented in vibrant colours, and many articles secluding you to the magazine, with the vast amount of teenage girl celebrity idols, which fascinate the stereotypical teenage girl audience.
