reading journals

Seventeen -October 2012

Audience: high school girls. 
the article is about homecoming dresses. that's also the age of the girls in the pictures.

Purpose: to tell the audience what the cute styles are for homecoming this year. achieves this by giving picture examples of those dresses. 

Tone: the mood of this article is fun and casual. sort of like you are just talking with a friend.

Attitude: the author isn't really partial to one style over the other. they are just informing the reader about the styles.

Design: there are not many words on the page at all. the words 'dresses' and 'homecoming!' are in bold and different colors. there are four different dresses shown by themselves and a larger picture of a girl actually wearing one.

Medium: magazine pages. 

Glamour -December 2012

Audience: young women. (20 yr+) 
the article is focused on satin shoes. they are very expensive so not something that teenage girls could afford. 

Purpose: to show what shoes are in this holiday season. there are about ten example pictures of different shoes on the page. 

Tone: the tone of the page is fun and light.

Attitude: you don't get the author's opinion on any of the shoes.

Design: there are hardly any words on the page. there are many pictures of satin heels in all different colors on the page with three pictures of someone actually wearing a pair.

Medium: magazine pages.
