Magazine Lesson 7/09/11

Code- A system of signs - verbal, aural or visual - used to convey meaning


Convention- A generally accepted custom or an established rule

This is the typical conventional layout of a magazine it is a useful template I found on the internet.

In lesson we analysed two  magazines; one called "BELLA" and one called "ELLE" both target audience were women, but the main difference between the women that both the magazine would be there socio-economic group. BELLA is aimed at socio-economic group C1 or below and ELLE is a glossy magazine aimed at the socio-economic group C1 or above.

The code of a magazine "ELLE" is known as a glossy magazine which is aimed at rich women; the the magazine "BELLA" is a typical chatty gossip magazine with true life stories and used promotional offers and a competitive price tag to sell where as ELLE is aimed at women with spare cash and and interest in fashion and it doesn't use a competitive price to sell the magazine.
