 * A.** Choose an advertisement from a magazine or newspaper that interests you or is particularly striking in its impact on you. Make sure it contains words as well as images. Name the product:

__Context:__ The website I got it from is a fashion magazine so this is telling you that you should go an buy this magazine for a year and if you do that then you can get a free year of the magazine and a free bag to go along with it. This market is for teenage girls because the name says __Teen Vogue__ which is a younger version of __Vogue__. __Link:__ []
 * Describe briefly the context in which you B.found it, e.g. upmarket magazine for girls, sports magazine, newspaper, etc. Provide a link to the advertisement.**

Paragraph Here: What made me want to read the advertisement was all of the bright colors all over the page. When I read the advertisement the images reflect the words because the text is saying that you should get this magazine for a year and then they show the cover of their magazine. When I went to the website the framing of the page was very narrow at the top of the page. The size made it big enough to outline the top of the website. The ad gives you a reason to buy the ad. It tells you that if you buy the ad they will give you a free purse and it shows the purse. They write that in blue so it highlights it and you would want to look at it. The biggest title is " Subscribe & Get a Free Year" so that points out that is the main idea of the ad. Everything is kind of crooked. The text is very bold and bright. Overall it was a very bright and interesting ad.
 * C. By paying particular attention to the visual images in the advertisement and the way in which these link to the written words, write a paragraph explaining how you "read" the advertisement. You may find it useful to consider some of these factors:**
 * color
 * framing
 * composition
 * size
 * type of shot
 * subject matter, including people
 * setting
 * lighting
 * pose
 * text

3. //**How do the images relate to the product that is being sold?**// The images are of the cover of the fashion magazine and of a purse which relates to fashion topics and what the magazine is about.
 * D. Think about the connotations that you find in the images.**
 * 1) //**Do you find these appealing?**// Yes it is very bright and fun!
 * 2) **//How do you feel they will appeal to other people, of different ages and gender?//** I think that it will mostly appeal to teenagers because that is what the target audience for the magazine is so the ad is also designed for teens to look at it.
