Liiar Analysis

Language:The layout is a fairly simple, classic design which works well. In this contents page we see that  there is a hand going across the mans body reaching to a heart, the denotation of this is that shes ripping his heart out, usually we would come across someone who is scared if they're getting there heart ripped out. but the man is fearless so is showing that he is calm and stress less. we see that the man is the main image on this page as its the first thing we come across. he is wearing a blazer and shirt to connote classiness and smart, the denotation of this is that the magazine which we will be reading is a very smart presentable magazine with lots of features. we can also tell that this magazine is classy because of the text on the page which looks very posh and sophisticated, we can tell that it is because of the curl flicks on the end of the letters. we can tell whats what because of the boldness and the sizing of the text for example, the title of the magazine is very large and different colored compared to the other text, we can tell that next to it is the title because its big and bold and stands out to make sure we know what where reading, the only criticism of this is that the text on this contents page is very standard and boring.The fonts used for the main body of text are slightly more extravagant but compliment the title also. they should make it classy as the magazine is giving of that its a classy one. the model is gazing into the camera as if to say that he isn't bothered about the arm coming across him, he looks very cocky and arrogant as if to say that everyone wants him.

Institution:The contents page featured above is from V magazine and displays a mid shot image of Kanye West. the text on this contents page is very smart as it stands out to the audience with the flicks and swirls within the headlines. as well as that we are that all of the subheadings are very bold and easy to see which is very good, it is good because we know where to look straight away and it draws us into the magazine. we know that the institution is V magazine, we know this as there is a vigorously big V in on the page, this is good because if we just looked at this contents page we would know that its V magazine due to the logo.

Ideology:The attitude to this magazine varies because we see that this model is looking into the camera very cocky, but on the other hand the way hes dress he looks very smart and sophisticated so its giving us as the audience mixed opinions on this magazine. they create this magazine to make the audience want to buy it, we know that this company are very presentable and very smart. we know that they are the type of people that take pride in their work and make sure its at the best of its ability. this then gets sold and that's how this magazine gets profit.

Audience: the audience of this magazine seems to look at the businesses side of things like the smart side due to the way the man is dressed which is giving us denotations that he is a smart man to so the institution is getting out that only smart people can read this as its a smart magazine. the target audience for this magazine will be adults because it seems to be a bit ore mature for teenagers as we can tell by the fancy texts. however its getting across that only men can read this magazine as the models a male and the model behind him is craving for him. this shows to the audience that if you read this magazine all the women will be craving over you.

Representation: the production is representing its self as a classy production due to the color scheme as we connote black and grey a smart color. this magazine is selling to the audience because they want to feel classy by reading this magazine and they think that the price is worth feeling classy over. the model is looking really stubborn as if to say its a challenge to read this magazine, so getting across to the audience about competitiveness this will encourage the audience to then buy the magazine and read it with pride.
