Reading and Writing Tasks (2)

2) The reading and review of one entertainment magazine (whole magazine) (eg: 8 Days, Teenage, 17 ...) - Look at the titles on the articles and explain what the intended effects on they have on the target audience.
[SEVENTEEN]

The titles of the articles are very short and give little information about the articles. However the words make the target audience feel curious about the articles and makes them want to read the magazine. As a result, they would buy the magazine to read the contents. In the "SEVENTEEN" December issue I'm reading, the cover page writes "Get Star Power" with "beauty secrets", "dress like top TV babes" and "celeb recipes". This would attract the attention of young teenage girls who'd like to be like their Hollywood idols. Secondly, on the cover magazine is a band named "One Direction". Therefore, fans of One Direction would buy the magazine to find out "who's the killer flirt & their confessions about those juicy rumors". Lastly inside the magazine, the titles such as "yummy food secrets from the stars", "beauty secrets of young hollywood" would make people interested in such sections stop flipping the page and read the contents.The font size is larger than rest of the text such that it catches attention of the reader. The color contrasts the titles from the background so that it stands out. Overall the magazine gives off a teenage feeling which makes teenagers stop by to look at the magazine.
