Magazine Analysis of Elle

The title Elle hold suggestions of femininity, the word is flowing and

rolls of the tongue. It is also aesthetically pleasing to the eye as

an anomaly. The strap line ‘The worlds biggest selling fashion

magazine’ appeals to the ideals of the magazine audience as fashion

victims are likely to seek things that are popular. The price is quite

expensive and shows a reader that has enough money to have all the

things she wants. The price is small but in bold whereas the price on

‘Red’ magazine is small and thin. This may be to distinguish

themselves from the other magazines. It will also appeal to an

audience with slightly more money or a love for expensive things.

The largest sell line is Winter fashion, 388 pages of coats jackets

hats and boots, plus capes your new must have. It is the largest as it

is the main point of the magazine. The next largest is 100 best beauty

products ever, voted for by the experts. Beauty products are a typical

feminine interest and also probably a great interest to those who care

about fashion and looking good. The large amount also appeals as it

gives them their moneys worth. The next largest is Exclusive, Jennifer

Aniston, Loving life after Brad, this is an appeal to a fairly young

female audience because celebrities are a typically female interest

and it has the added fact of relationship issues and solutions.

Another sell line is super sexy shopping, High street party buys.

Using words like sexy attracts classy females who like to look good

and the party attracts girls who enjoy a lavish lifestyle. The last

    Beauty is a cruel mistress. Every day, Americans are bombarded by images of flawless women with perfect hair and smooth skin, tiny waists and generous busts.

  • The Feminine Mystique Analysis

    1418 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the 1960s, a woman’s world was highly restrictive in almost all areas, from home life to the work field. A woman’s role was bound to homemaking, raising children and serving their husbands. If they chose to go into the professional world, their options were limited to subservient roles as nurses, teachers and secretaries, as not to disrupt the social hierarchy during the time. Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique transformed this patriarchal dominated society and changed the way middle-class white women viewed their roles and identities in society post-World War II and throughout the 1960s. Friedan’s generation succeeded the generation of “first wave” feminism who pushed for women’s

  • analysis on portrait of a lady

    773 Words  | 2 Pages

    In ''Portrait of a Lady" music becomes one of the factors of attachment. Part one is beginning with contemptuous allusions to "the latest Pole" who broadcasts "the Preludes, through his hair and finger-tips." The dialogue of the piano performance of Chopin, "so intimate," transforms to "attenuated tones of violins" and "remote cornets" as the lady speaks. When the poem goes back to the voice of the man, those noises have been changed to flat "windings of the violins" and "cracked cornets." These not so positive attributes go on as he explains his ideas in the musical metaphors of a "dull tom-tom," "Absurdly hammering a prelude," "Capricious monotone," show the woman's voice has the displeasing, "out-of-tune," resemblance of a "broken violin." Eliot repeats "always”, “sure” and “feelings” to render this urge. As well as the "street piano," like the man's self-worth, is "mechanical and tired," it is no longer authentic, it will solely repeat "some worn-out common song." Eventually the music finishes, it ends with a "dying fall."

    Magazines offer many opportunities for teenagers to consider and investigate their sexuality. In particular, sexuality advices and stories in magazines enables teenagers to understand personal sexual issues or problems that they might be having in a healthier light. Post-feminism attitudes have become very popular in teenage magazines for both male and female readers, this is partly because prior to the feminism movement women were never seen as having much sexual desire for men and women generally didn’t feel comfortable expressing their sexual attributes or sexuality. I will be examining three studies in this essay all by the same author ‘Sue Jackson’ involving textual analyses of problem pages, interviews with magazine staff and focus groups with readers of the magazine (“Dear Girlfriend” 286). Each article examines letters written to the advice pages of an Australasian teen magazine Girlfriend in relation to sexual desire and sexual health problems.
