LIIAR of Heroes MagazineLanguage - The masthead in this magazine has a very simple font excluding the "O" which is more complex. The way this letter is on the front cover will be a representative of part the program which maybe why it is used in the name. It makes the simple font of the masthead quite interesting and different in a way.
The image used on the front cover is a medium camera shot. The way the woman is stood on the image creates the idea that she may be in charge. She is striking a predominant woman kind of pose to the camera. Her facial expression is very serious although there seems to be a slight smile. I believe Hayden Panettiere looks as if she is very dominant and there is no one more superior than herself.
Institution - "HEROES" magazine was made to represent the program "Heroes" produced by the BBC. Titan Magazines released the first issue of "Heroes" magazine on November 20, 2007.
Ideology - The ideology behind this magazine is to provide the audience they target with interviews, news, stories, further info etc relating to the actual BBC program, "Heroes". Rather than just being 100% fictional like the program itself, this magazine also provides the audience with real-life aspects, such as the Hayden Panettiere interview.
Audience - The audience of this magazine is mainly the viewers who watch the program on BBC and are eager to find out more about what is going on. I believe that this magazine is targeted at both males and females, aged around 15-30 years old. I only think this because I have watched the program personally and know what it is about. If I hadn't of watched the program and judging by the magazine front cover i would come to a conclusion that it is targeted at both genders aged 11-16. This would be because of the colours used such as the yellow and blue. Plus, the sub content titled at the top of the cover saying, "COMIC BOOK GUY" would in my eyes, relate to comics read by younger teenagers.
Representation - The magazine is produced to promote and inform the audience targeted about the television programme, "Heroes". This magazine may reflect stereotypes in the audience because of the genre of magazine.
