For my first blog post, I have decided to write about the codes and conventions of a magazine. I have chosen to base my first blog around the magazine named Cosmopolitan which is a women's life magazine. This can be seen above.The list of conventions shown on the magazine are as follows...
- Main Image (Jessica Alba)
- Kicker (Sun-Kissed styles)
- Pug (Save 20% at Oasis Online)
- Date/Price (August 2008 / £3.30
- Barcode
- Rule Of Thirds (Top right of the magazine)
- Straplines including
- Beat-The-Heat, Hair 15 cool style ideas.
- Anorexia Fightback
The codes and conventions of a magazine are split into three main groups which are:
- Technical
- Symbolic
- Written & Audio
These can give the text meaning and provide a response from the viewer.
