MAGAZINES

In class today we identified the key conventions that are on a magazine . Here is an example of this :

As you can see here I've labeled the main features of  vogue.com

The magazine offers the audience uses and gratification in the form of information about the new seasons fashion trends .The whole purpose of this magazine is to form a personal identity.This means viewers will read this magazine (eg: a fashion outfit page ) and take away what they have read ; this could be by them then purchasing something that they saw  on the page and liked . Finlay another function of this magazine is escapism , this is linked to the target audience (a woman 25+) and so it could be an attempt of then to escape and have a break from their surroundings whether it be looking after children or just work in general.
