Homework ms wigley - magazine covers

This magazine is for Vogue , it has a lady with deep blue eyes on a background of flowers .
The magazine uses flowers as a symbol of peace and could also mean love ,further more the depp blue eyes could symbolise harmony and good will to people , it could also be a sign of sexuality as most people find blue eyes girls good looking . She is white which indicates purity .
The word Vogue for the magazine which is written in a posh font could connote that the intended target audience would be for those in the A-C1 class people thereby only those who earn good salaries can afford to buy it  everyday . The colour of the font is also pink ranges from different spectrums , which indicates a target female audience .The female is posing with her head slightly to the side of the flowers suggesting that she wants us to actually be interested in her and the topics that follow inside the magazine.The interpellation of this magazine is that it stand out from the crowd ,by  using various techniques and connotations such as the ‘new feminine ‘ which means that a female will be more confident if she is to see the tips inside the magazine . It could also mean a fresh start for a women out of a bad relationship and into a new one later on in her life .
This match magazine is mainly aimed at teenage boys 13+ , it uses bold font type for the title of the magazine to make it stand out , it also connoted that its a football magazine due to the word that is used which is match .It contains symbolic codes for example the sun rays used for the background .
Those sun rays highlight the champions which are the players from the different football clubs .The men used are photographs from games that have gone on before. The interpellation mainly constitutes of the men being happy and that they are the main ones to watch out for as they are the best players .
The magazine itself is quite simple in its layout however conveys the message that ‘we are from the makers of the best selling footy mag!’ which highlights the importance of what the UK football is all about ... being the best .
The colour choice for the title page is in red which symbolises danger, that these players are dangerous in the games. The black shadow on the title could state death , therefor the combination of black and red is that beware danger of death .
The football player in the Chelsea top uses his eyes and his finger gestures to connote that he is watching you ,or perhaps that he thinks a decision made was unfair .
The blue background on the ‘annual 2010 !’ could symbolise peace and harmony , or interpret it in a different way it would probably relate to the colour of the Chelsea football team.
