REVULSION Page 1

Using new media, I would involve the readers by having a website and a Twitter. I chose to have a website and I would use it to promote the magazine. People would be able to subscribe online to Revulsion. The website would encourage people to buy the magazine. Twitter would also help since Revulsion will be able to update on new gossip to their followers and post pictures of the latest photos on our magazine.

Music Magazines- Pop Star Magazine

Typical features

The typical features for Pop Star magazine are pictures of famous celebrities and comments about what they are doing or speech bubbles with quotes or sayings from the artist. Usually the celebrity is smiling in the pictures to show they are happy.

Genre conventions

The genre is Pop, obviously because the title of the magazine is Pop Star magazine. They have lots of photos of famous pop stars that are well known to the young female audience. Some of the photos show the artist doing everyday things. Pop Star magazine are trying to show that the artists are just like everyone else.

Targetting audience

Pop Star magazine targets the young female audience by adding their favourite artists, bright colours (yellow, pink, purple, blue, etc.) to attract them.

Representation

The magazine represents the artists as flawless pretty/handsome young stars. To other audiences they might see them as being cheesy but to young girls they look up to them.

Why is Beyonce represented in many different ways in her videos?

The reason Beyonce is represented in so many ways in her music videos is to show that she is versatile. In Single Ladies she is confident, sexy and a good dancer, while in Halo she’s in love and innocent. She wants to be known for being able to do numerous things like in Telephone where she does some acting at the beginning. For commercial reasons, Beyonce makes her videos different every time so the audience won’t get bored of her work.
