Marie Claire–Magazine Conventions and LIIAR Analysis

Magazine Conventions - Marie Claire
L –  The use of pink in the font, the model's make-up and the model's clothing also the lace suggests they are appealing to women rather than men. Pink as a colour is associated more with women. Lace is seen as delicate and sensitive, which is how many people see women. “What to wear now” is an imperative and is demanding you to wear the clothes that are featured inside. It also suggests that they know what you should be wearing now and inside it will tell you what and where to get it, drawing the reader in. “Sugar, Smoking and Shiraz” is alliteration of the ‘S’ sound and forms together as a phrase. Overall the language used on the cover is informal and some things are said as more commonly as speech for example “Super – Charged Liners and Lashes.”

I – The magazine is Marie Claire and it is published by IPC Media – the UK’s leading consumer magazine publisher.
