Language- The edges of the image are flocked with taglines and attractions that inform the reader of what exclusive reports are inside. The colour schemes are a mixture of reds, blacks and white used consistently throughout the cover prominently singling out the most important attributes. Due to being positioned in such a way it is clearly visible that T theory has been used.

Representation- Masthead (Rolling Stone logo), is featured on every edition, making it easily distinctive to customers. By only using the one image, of iconic pop star Michael Jackson and allowing it to cover the title, this emphasises the extreme popularity the company have among the world as a selection of title is hidden.

L.I.A.R: Language Institution Audience Representation by Kurtis Read

Institution- Founded in 1967, Rolling stones magazine was first known for its music coverage and political reporting and is a combination of both contemporary and classic culture. Yet still it specifically orientates to media relating the music industry through either films, television programs etc.

Audience- Since its release the magazine has been dedicated to showing appreciation to all artists. It is almost like a conservation magazine as it nurtures young artists yet doesnt let the classics slip from our forever changing tastes. The target audience is particularly directed at the young and considerably conventional customer aged between 16 and 35 years old.

Magazine

Language- On this particular cover, minute chirography is featured; this being a deliberate inference to the importance that the musicians believe they are in society as no additional information regarding the album is included. Displayed in conspicuous black lettering, are both the artists name and the word anthology which informs the customer of what they can expect to hear should they choose to purchase it.

Representation- The colour pallet used consists mainly of a pale pink, blue and sepia. The reason behind such an overruling amount of pink and such little blue, could suggest the idea of masculinity and femininity. Therefore I believe this to emphasise the significance of girl power and their overall succession in the industry throughout the decades.

Institution- The Supremes were an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. on January 12, 1959, and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation on April 14, 1960. Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music as an African American-owned record label.

Audience-Unlike other so-called girl groups, the Supremes had a mature, glamorous demeanour that appealed equally to teens and adults. This made their overall popularity ascend.

Film Poster

Audience-The primary purpose of this poster is to advertise the film, in order to attract the media and raise curiosity. On the front situates in slightly lower sized lettering to the title, successful Hollywood actress Sandra bullock. Furthermore this immediately, without the need for consideration, indicates that the production was incredibly expensive which also allows us to come to the assumption that it is a very successful film. The imagery featured includes a very large African American man and a small white woman comforting him, noticeable by her hand rested on his back. This promotes the idea of pathos which the audience automatically feel sympathetic towards. Being so carefully made the intended audience I believe is required to be a mature age of 15+ but targeted at both genders.

Representation-The grass is particularly poignant in this image. The colour green is commonly associated and symbolised by feelings of envy and jealousy yet also peace and nature. This relates to the man behind the story Big Mike, as despite being a lot less fortunate than his new family he is never portrayed to show any themes of jealousy but also whenever in a situation consisting of negativity he always imagines and behaves in an unprecedented manner.

Institution- The film was produced by Alcon Entertainment and released by Warner Bros. Bullock, before meeting the real adoptive mother to Michael, initially rejected the starring role three times due to discomfort about acting as a devout Christian.

Language- Tag line: Based on an extraordinary true story despite being simplistic and short is very effective, because it gives inference towards the film being profound and eye-opening. The use of the text being featured at the top of the poster allows it to be prominent and contrast against the -pale blue- pallet.

Institution- Distributed by Universal studios, it was indefinitely an expectation for the film to be a -great- success among the world viewing. In my personal opinion, I believe that the film is certainly a very funny and broad minded comedy, which throughout undergoes a series of unexpected circumstances.

Language- The text used in this cover consists of two very conspicuously bright and contrasting colours -white and yellow- which when against such a dark background as this makes it very attractive. Also coincidentally each item of negative language such as thief and horrible are situated on the right hand side along with the antagonist.

Audience- As the movie includes mild sexual behaviour and the occasional element of foul language, the movie in the UK would be rated at ages 15 and over for this reason. With regards to the target audience, in particular it is right to say that the viewer must have some interest in either comedy or crime related filmography.

Representation- In the front image both main characters (Bateman and McCarthy) are represented as opposites -relating to attitude and expression. Where McCarthy is shown with rosy cheeks; a look of innocence and comfort as well as a sense of accomplishment, Bateman on the other hand is shown looking unsettled and speechless inferring that he is in disbelief.
