The GOLD reader: James age17.
James is interested music, up coming games, real life stories, fashion, food, technology, fitness and gossip. James studies: photography, media, psychology and sports. In his free time he plays football. He enjoys singing, dancing technology and gossip.
Both James and Bre love reading GOLD as they get to know what new e.g is: music, phones, fashion, and sport games coming up. And sometimes they may even get free albums.
In my magazine they will be, fashion trends for boys and girls, new shows, food (cooking), makeup and tips, interviews with celebs and even sports. This will help me develop my target reader as it is not just for females or male but both. It will force on what males are interested in as well as other things and the female will force on what female are interested in.
The front cover wouldn’t just be a woman but may be male and female or even something unexpected. It will have everything u ever wanted a magazine to want, gossip, real life, sport, TV programmes and even food.

Setting: There is no setting, however the grey background connotes something simple but yet eye catching, and this is keeping with her personality, that she uses simple things but makes them stand out in a way you wouldn’t imagine. This is a medium long shot.
NVC: she looks sexual but has a strong facial expression
Body language: The fact that she is only wearing a pair of black jeans with spikes on the side suggest that even, though women are meant to be seen in a soft and sweet way she’s got a dark side.
The photo of lady gaga is cleverly placed as it stands out from the fonts used. The photo is appealing mostly to male readers. The way she is standing with her hips to the side and covering her breast, suggest she’s reviling sex appeal but at the same time she’s also holding back.
Facial expressions: her face looks very serious and hard-core, on the other hand her makeup is very simple clear lip stick and a hint of blush, BUT her eye make up on contrasts very heavy and dark, once again the colour was black.
The headline ‘100 most shocking moments in the music’ instantly makes the reader want to find out lots more. The colour is very bright which draws the reader’s attention immediately.
Hand signals: Her right hand is covering her breast whiles her left hand is covering her private side. This shows her sexual and flirtatious side but also shows she respects her body as a woman.
Anchorage: The writing of her name and the other coverlines are written in san serif. There are a lot of different fonts on this cover. This is good as it makes it very interesting and helps every feature to stand out individually.
Denotation: The background of the photograph is light grey, behind her on the right hand side is the ‘Q’ masthead and in front of her are 6 separate coverlines, some in white others in black or red. The photographed women’s name is in white, which goes well with the grey background and her black trousers. White is also the name of the magazine ‘Q’. A bar code is visible in the bottom left corner.
Masthead: ‘Q’ masthead is very distinctive, it has a red background and the Q is in white. The font that is used is sans serif. Also ‘Q’ is a very famous and long running company. All people who have being in this magazine are very famous, well known and rich superstars.
Cover-lines: The main cover-line relates to her photograph ‘lady gaga has RISEN’. This connotes how she’s born, a new star is alive. Also in her last performance, she was in an egg shell, and when she came out of it, it was as if she is alive, she has risen. Most artists mentioned on the cover are all well-known artists. Sans serif font is used to make it easy for the readers to read.
Target audience: considering all of these points, it is likely that the audience would be male and female but, mostly male (age 18-35). They would have to be educated have a good knowledge in music and how it’s changed in the last 10 years, but, mostly be into the music industry.

Denotation: I see Zack Efron and Vanessa Anhugies lying on the floor. On the right hand side there is Leona Lewis whereas on the left hand side you have the hollyoaks actors and at the bottom there is Mcfly and other stars.
Connotation: Zack and Vanessa are on the floor which seems to look like a swimming pool and they are lying on a beach ball. This is similar to high school musical 2 as it’s all about summer and having fun. Leone Lewis ‘amazing makeover’ this connotes the change in her life as well as the makeover. After xfactor she has achieved her dreams and is now the person she always wanted to be.
Mise-en-scene
Costume: Zack and Vanessa are wearing colourful clothes. Vanessa is wearing a white dress which shows purity however the text underneath her says something else ‘Vanessa nude pic’. Zack in contrast was wearing a red top and blue jeans; the red is very colourful compared to Vanessa’s white dress.

Lighting: high-key lighting.
NVC : They look happy as if they are having fun.
Body language: they look happy and as if there having so much fun.

Masterhead: top of the pops master head is very distinctive the outline is white with pink writing. Top of the pops is also a TV programme which is another reason why the magazine is very famous.
Coverline: the main coverline says ‘High school musical 2 special ’. This makes you aware of the new high school musical coming up. This is all about colours, fun and summer time. The different coverline tells us that this magazine doesn’t just concentrate on teenagers but also 18 plus, as they have hollyoyks and Leona Lewis. The artists are either actors or singer.
Target audience: considering everything the colours used, pictures taken the target audience would be females 16 -25. They would have to have a good knowledge of music and v programmes, what’s new, what’s going on and what’s coming out.

Main Coverline
The front cover photograph shows rapper Lil Wayne at a high angle giving thumbs up to the camera.
He is dressed in a Black Baggy tee shirt which says, 'I AM HIP-HOP' Not only does the camera angle show authority but the text on his clothing also shows slight arrogance as well as dominance.
The layout of the front cover is not very busy and is quite spacious. He is wearing a cap and has dreadlocks and also a very smug look on his face. The title of the magazine is in white text in front of a red background.
The background colour is a sophisticated grey showing different tones and shades. The colour of the background brings out the boldness in the text and image. The text is all in block capitals and sans serif. Below his name shows the subtitle,’ Bites his tongue for no one.' This quote describing how he is not afraid to say how he feels linking to his gangster and hip hop persona.
Denotation: I see a man (rapper lil wayne) standing and wearing all black. His top says ‘I am hip-pop’ and on the top right hand side it says ‘XXL’. Their two coverlines and a main coverline.
Connotation: The fact that his wearing black represents no emotions, black is a dark and lifeless. It’s a kind of ‘no mercy’ type of colour. He may be wearing this to show he has no time to play its stickily business. The top says ‘I am hip-pop’, lil wayne is a rapper and during his 26 years of being in the game he has increased his fan based, popularity and his name for himself. He has being put in the Top 10 Biggest Hip-pop rapper. The name of the magazine ‘XXL’ may connote the fact that in most rap music there is quite a lot of swearwords. It may also mean very, very large …. So this may mean the only put big rappers in the game on their front cover of their magazine. The main coverline ‘Lil Wayne BITES GIS TONGE FOR NO ONE’ this connotes that lil Wayne says what’s on his mind, he speaks how he feels he doesn’t hind it.
Mise-en-scene
Costume: his not wearing nothing extravagant his simply wearing all black. This costume may have been chosen because rappers don’t normally dress up; they play it cool and keep it simple.
Setting: There is no setting however, the grey background represents simplicity, once again going back to the rapper rules, ‘play it cool’.
Lighting: the light is high key, but with simple colours; black and white it’s meant to be day time.
NVC : He looks like he know his the man, and he know what his doing. his very confident with him self.
Facial expression: His looking straight into the camera.
Body language: His standing up tall to show his status has growing.
The writing of the article font is in San Serif.
Masterhead- ‘XXL’ the master head is very distinctive white with red background. The font used is famous for clothes size and what people wear. Also XXL is very famous and long running magazine, they force on hip-pop because they are a large company they mostly put famous rapper on the front cover.
Target audience: the target audience will mostly be male and a few females ages 16-50. They will have to be interested in rap and the hip-pop culture.
Coverlines- the main coverline relates to his photograph ‘lil wayne BITES HIS TONGE FOR NO ONE’. This is making a reference to his called ‘millionaire’. This music is very fast and controlling he says stuff that’s you wouldn’t want your young children hearing yet he does it because it’s what HE wants to say. There hardly anyone else featuring the magazine the only person mentioned was big poppa who is also a rapper.
