Brief magazine analysis


For this task i chose the 'NME' magazine that featured Beth Ditto.
I personally feel the target audience for this particular magazine is larger ladies who are concious of their weight, between the ages of 14-40. I feel the target audience for this particular magazine is working class females, who live a lifestyle were they don't exercise or try to look after themselves, they also may not be confident about their image.
This text sells confidence through the image used, because she is overweight, however she is happy with her size and is also 'cocky' about it to, which is indicated through her pose. It also sells various attitudes for example Beth Ditto seems to be cocky and arrogant.
The ideology of this particular text is to believe in yourself and be happy what ever your size or image may be, because Beth doesn't care what anyone thinks of her images, indicated by the kiss on her bum and sell line 'Kiss my ass', so she thinks neither should anyone else. Also don't change your image, who you're for others.

For my media coursework i've chosen to create a music magazine. The genres i will use in my music magazine are pop and indie, i've chosen these two because they are very different from one another, alternatively i like them both and find them interesting. I've chosen to use the colour scheme of three basic colours, black, white and yellow, to hopefully make my magazine distinctive and stand out from all the rest. The main font i am going to use throughout my magazine is 'century gothic', because i feel it is easy to read and understand also it looks professional but basic at the same time.
