 * B.** Describe briefly the context in which you found it, e.g. upmarket magazine for girls, sports magazine, newspaper, etc. Provide a link to the advertisement.

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: Paragraph Here: I see One Direction on the "cover" of Seventeen for exclusive interviews, posters, and quotes. The color of the background makes "The Boys" stand out so the attention is on them. The pose is they are all pointing and staring at the reader, so the reader is more interested to read the best boy band in the world. The setting is at a studio in Las Angeles, California. The lighting looks like a lot of bright lights from different perspectives.The subject matter is One Direction, a contest to meet them, and their new album "Take Me Home". They are trying to sell the magazine to inform "Directioners" about what is going on with One Direction. Also some fashion tips for girls. The type of shot is bending down just a little to get a shot of them perfectly straight.

 * D.** Think about the connotations that you find in the images.
 * 1) **Do you find these appealing?** Yes I find this very appealing because my favorite boy band in the world, One Direction, is on the cover.
 * 2) **How do you feel they will appeal to other people, of different ages and gender?** This will appeal to 9-17 year old girls across the world because they are all dedicated (obsessed) with the 5 British/Irish hotties. I feel this will appeal more to girls since they all love One direction.
 * 3) **How do the images relate to the product that is being sold?** Since the boys are so famous, they thought it would be good to interview the boys. Also have a contsest to see which lucky with one friend will get to meet One Direction.
