The ideas and beliefs of the magazine are to inform college students what is going on in the college e.g. activities and how sports teams are doing. It is also to tell you about the style which is going around college and it aims to be a all round magazine for college students.
The target audience for the magazine are students aged between 18 and 21 which are the ages which most students are at college i can tell this by the style of the magazine, the man on the front cover looks like he is 18 years old, also the activities which are featured are aimed at people that age e.g. paint balling, this is something that males like to do with their friends.
The college magazine representations are showing that the model has books in his hand so it automatically makes you think that he is a student and that the magazine therefore must me a college magazine. the model has got a smile on his face so this is saying that he is happy, link that with the books which he has in his hands and you get the impression that he is happy to be at college. and he is representing how the college students feel about college.
The NME magazine is produced by the inspire division of the IPC Media company who produce magazines from world soccer to amateur gardening.
The ideas and beliefs of this magazine are to inform music lovers about what is ho and what is not and it also has album reviews so you can decide is you want to get the album or not, you can usually tell if you want to buy the magazine by the cover if it is an artist that you don't particularly like then the magazine is probably going to focus on them or there genre of music.
The target audience of the magazine is for predominantly males aged 16-30 purely because of the music artist in the magazine for example Jay-Z, you associate his music with males aged between that age. The magazine also contains album reviews which is something you would find teenagers involved in not someone from the older generation.
The NME magazine representations are showing the artist Jay-Z looking at the camera however he has no facial expression so this links in with his music sort of a 'bad man' vibe, also the way he is dressed the clothes are uneven which gives the message that he doesn't care and that can be associated with the 'cool kids' all this together makes you know who his music is aimed at.
The ideas and beliefs of the magazine is to inform young women about the latest fashion, it includes whats hot, new styles, gift ideas and a whole range of other things that young women are interested in.
The target audience of the magazine is young women aged between 16-30 because of some of the features in the magazine for example, the masthead is in a pink colour which is typically associated with women, also the majority of the content is aimed at girls for example the use of the term gossip which is stereo typically what girls do so that terminology has been associated with girls magazines.
The Fashion magazine representations are showing a medium close up of a model who is looking down the camera with a flirtatious stance which is suggesting that if you read this magazine and take its tips then you will become 'sexy' which is why it is aimed at women, the model has been presented as a perfect figure so again it is saying if you read this magazine you will end up looking like her.
