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.

This is important because if you go somewhere that you aren't allowed to enter, it could result into you getting into a lot of trouble or even danger. This is an icon. the majority of the society would recognise this icon anywhere and they would know that it is the icon that represents instagram, a popular social media application. This is a symbol . although it doesn't immediately imply anything, people know that this is a sign for disabled people. It may mean that there is disabled access. Icons and indexes are important because they portray a message for us to understand. Everyone is able to understand them because the image or word clearly implies that its about a specific topic or object. Global brands may avoid using symbols when advertising and marketing as some symbols don't mean the same in other countries because they may be cultural t...

Maybelline 'That Boss Life': case study & wider reader

Close-textual analysis: Cinematography: camera shots and movement: Zooms- fast paced, draws in audience, audience involvement, mimics vlogging. Tracking zoom when their makeup is done. Close up of the product (mascara)- enhances the success of it. Close up of the eyes- demonstrates the product in use and how good it is. Narrative & Genre: narrative theory and sub-genre: Heroes; they give a transformative influence (quest). Quest to get mascara- luxury/quest for fame /perfect.
