General
1)The types of people who read reveal are an mainstream type of people, they don't have a lot of money and are most likely a lower middle/working class citizens that read the Reveal magazine, they are most likely going to be between the age 20-30.
2)The editor introduces the magazine by showing the price tag, this draws in some people to come and buy the magazine as it is cheap compared to classy magazines.
3)The difference between reveal and tatler is that reveal's audience are not as rich as tatlers audience, tatler also focuses on fashion and accessories making it so that their audience wants to get this fashion and don't really care about the price. However reveal focuses on the celebrities and don't really focus on fashion, reveal also shows a lot of gossip and reveals drama going on in the celebrities lives. Tatler doesn't have any free offers but reveal does(tatler has sell lines instead.)
4)Reveal audiences are interested in the gossip of celebrities and they want to capture the stories going up in their lives, they like to see drama in the celebrities lives like relationship problems.
Media Language
1)Reveal has 10 magazine conventions out of the 12 conventions that are their.
2)The font used is a sans serif, this shows that reveal is a Modern type of magazine and looks at the new and old celebrities within their magazine.
3)The cover lines appeal to the audience by talking about what is happening in the celebrities lives and they show drama or upcoming events to do with the celebrity themselves. This draws them in as it is the one thing they are interested in when reading the magazine.
4)The color scheme, red yellow pink and blue, suggest that the magazine is energetic and everything is passionate with the magazine and all that it contains
5)The images on the front cover are made to interest the reader by spreading their pictures around the magazine using the rule of thirds. One reason this interests the reader is because if they use juxtaposition, like in the "Katie plots secret meetings with Pete" this makes it look a lot more appealing as it looks suspicious. another reason is that making them pose makes the celebrity more appealing to certain groups which in return makes people attracted to the magazine as they see a celebrity they like or know. The last reason is that their facial expression is usually always smiling and they look straight at the camera.
6)The difference between Tatler and reveal in typography and design is that Tatler uses a purple, black or white serif while reveal uses a white, yellow or blue sans serif, the effect of this is that Tatler uses a more glamorous and plain look and than leaves the rest to its image while reveal shows a more brighter look and has vibrant colours, this makes the audience a little more attracted to the magazine as it is brighter. another difference is that reveal has multiple photos while Tatler only has one image(the central image),the effect on the Tatler reader is that they focus on one thing the person and their fashion. The effect on Reveal is that they get to see more of what they want. The last difference is that Tatler's cover lines talk more about fashion and Reveal's cover lines talk about the celebrities lives.This makes sure both Tatler and Reveal readers get their interests, making them want to read the magazine even more.
Representations
1)The groups of people being represented in the Reveal magazine cover are the celebrities, mothers and relationships.
2)The types of celebrities that are being represented in the Reveal magazine are the celebrities who are in a relationship or having relationship problems.
3)The stereotypes being reinforced are that every celebrity has to have a relationship with someone. Another stereotype being reinforced is that celebrities are usually rich this makes their life more different to our types of lives
4)Reveal wants the reader to have a aspiring point of view when it comes to the celebrities this is because if they look up to the celebrity than they will want to be like them and find out more about the drama or relationships in their life, this entices the reader as they will have to keep buying the magazine to find out more about all of the celebrities.
5)The preferred reading for the cover of Reveal is that celebrities are presented as glamorous and perfect. This is because of how they are always looked up to and they have all done something that makes them world known.
The oppositional reading for the cover of reveal is that celebrities are presented as people who always have to be in a relation ship and who always have drama going on in their lives. This is because in the magazine they only show the drama and relationships going on in the celebrities lives but they don't really show anything positive to do with them.
Social and historical context
1)Reveal doesn't focus on the normal people in Britain, they only show celebrities on their magazine as they only want to attract the people interested in the celebrities.
2)The cover lines suggest that the audience themselves have a boring or ordinary life style so they want to read someones elses life style as it is a lot more interesting compared to theirs. The issue with this is that the reveal readers are most likely to have self esteem issues.
3)One of the issues that appear in reveal is that men are put to the side compared to the women also they make the men generic and do the same things in most of the magazines they are in. One feature that appears in most of the magazines I have seen is relationship problems and celebrities insecurity.
4)Their are some celebrities who have been been on the front cover of Reveal, this is probably because of how they have a lot of drama in their lives or relationship problems making it more appealing to see another piece of drama from a particular person.
