These are secondary images used to give a visual aid to show reader what will be in the magazine on the specific pages so that much reading is not required and readers can find articles of interest faster.

Main image. This is posed with a head shot of the singer looking down and away from the camera so it seems as though her doesn’t notice or care about the cameras and that he is in deep thought so it appears natural.

These are the main features that can be found in the magazine. There is a number which is the page reference so the reader can find what they are looking for easily followed by a simple title to tell the reader what is on that page

This is the editors note accompanied by an image of the magazine front cover. This is here to address the reader on the ideas and themes

LIIAR

• Language:• This magazine is written in a casual register as there is a use of colloquialisms. For example ‘Blows

us away’ sounds very casual and language that someone who is apart of a particular group of people that may read this magazine (especially through the use of the word ‘us’) would understand.

• Institution:• It is published by the Bauer Media Group.• It operates in over 16 countries worldwide• It sells over 38 million of its magazine titles per week• Ideology:• The ideology of the magazine is to promote artists of all genres and their music.• Audience:• This magazine is targeted at both men and women from the age 12 and upwards as some of the

artists may not be known to younger generations and the language may be hard to comprehend.• Representation:• There is only one main picture here of the Artic Monkeys. It is a two shot of the band members

performing live. Their casual clothes e.g the plain black tank top, make it easier for an audience to relate to them, especially fans of their music, as they may feel that aside from their Rock Star status, they are the same as the typical reader.
