Oh Comely; audience

1)Oh Comely introduces itself: "Oh Comely is a powerful mix of  words and pictures, stylish presented and much loved by its readers. It provides an alternative to the 'pile-it-high' aesthetic of mainstream magazines for young women... it is a breath of fresh air for a creative audience desperate to find something that speaks to them directly in an accessible, intelligent and interesting voice".
2)Print and circulation statistics are much smaller than Men's Health statistics which highlights the fact that Oh Comely targets a niche audience and is therefore smaller than Men's Health as it targets a mainstream audience.
3)Through traditional independent stores.
4)The primary target audience varies from 27-35 individuals who would read this primarily in the upper class. The demographic would be ABC1 who are educated as they are more likely to pick up a niche magazine.
5)I think that reformers would be attracted to Oh Comely. Reformers want to change the world/ society for the better. This links to the magazine as they focus on creativity and self discovery.
6)Oh Comely audiences would be in upper class as it is very expensive.
7)I would expect readers to be well educated with a degree as it consists of many sensitive topics that you need to be able to understand.
8)Personal identity- audiences are able to relate to certain story's in which are shared by others.
Surveillance- it includes information.
9)The magazine itself and the layout is simplistic with outstanding photography. It suggests that they take their time on the visuals in order for the audiences to be satisfied.
10)Oh Comely has built a loyal audience as their main focus is the audience therefore, they have created a strong relationship with them in order to create the content that is to the audience's taste.

The last film i watched was Venom. Skins is my favourite series. I spend around 3-5 hours on my phone; i know that this is way too much.

Advert Analysis

This poster is advertising Reebok clothing. There is a close up of 50 Cent who is an inspirational man to young adults. He is a well known rapper. Reebok has used him as a model in their advert due to is popularity and it will make people want to by their clothes because they have such a famous person featuring in their advert. He has a serious facial expression- it is a reflection of his attitude; it suggests that he has independence therefore, it is gritty. The lighting highlights of parts of  his face; this also contributes to his overall seriousness. the fact that it suggests that he is independence could symbolise that Reebok is unique. it encourages their target audience of today's generation to buy their clothing as they want to be trendy but not look the same as everyone else. The theme of identity is carried throughout the advert as there is a picture of some finger prints next to the picture of the 50 Cent. No one has the same finger print- this also continues t...

Score Advert

Wider reading: 1. In the 1960s, advertising techniques were shown in a time of new and improved way to advertise. Back then, advertising agencies focused on the creativity when planning their campaigns. Score reflects that change as it focuses more on gender roles and sexuality more than it focuses on the product itself.

During the post war period, campaigns included the idea that women should stick to being housewives. 3. The props that are used in this advert reinforce the idea of gender roles. For example, the only male is holding a gun; this could assert his masculinity and automatically give him all of the power. Also, it could be see as a phallic symbol; the women are all reaching up to him to get their hands on him. This could be seen as sexual as all of the women want him. Also, the cost...
