  • Throughout the magazine semiotics is evident. The striking feature article photo, makes the magazine standout, it’s bold and filled with a wide range of colours, its gives a meaning of denotation.  Furthermore the Syntagmatic connotation of the feature article photo and the masthead also make the magazine eye catching.
  • The main feature photo also signifies a purpose of meaning, from the picture we can see Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham, we straight away know the magazine will involve both of them.
  • The magazine is targeted a fairly young generation the teenagers is the main target audience.  This is indicated by the magazine linguistic, the language is aimed at teenagers “hot stars”.
    • There is a similarity between the icon and the symbol, the icon resembles the importance of the feature article photo, where similarly the symbol is conveyed by the masthead it is the main symbol, where similarly the icon is also a key aspect of the magazine.
    • The magazine signifies that there is no feud between Victoria and Cheryl. This is denoted by the cover line.  The didactic cover lines also again evidently shows that the target audience is teenagers, the magazine use the didactic sign because it appeals to the reader, it suits the reader because for that target audience the magazine has to be easily read yet effective.

  1. Careful with presentation - it's quite hard to see the magazine cover and your annotation.
    Good engagement with new terminology.
    make sure you read/listen to instruction properly!
    Good effort nonetheless.
