magazine 2 'U.S Time Magazine'L-language
The layout has the other articles advertised at the very top of the magazine which is fairly unusual as they are usually displayed at the sides in the middle of the magazine. below 'TIME' (the title) in red times new roman font is shown with the main picture underneith/behind with the main article headline at the side. this says "WHY OBMAMA COULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT", with 'The Next President' in bigger bolder writing. this catches the audiences attention and tells them its going to be on elections/politics. At the top, the adverts state about 'nuclear rogues' and 'clients take on heroes'. Again this gives the impression of relivant and more mature topics that are going to be covered in the magazine.
The colours of the magazine are greys/reds/blacks and the main picture. this is clear and easy to follow. it also doesnt get too much for the eye.
I-institution
TIME magazine U.S. Which covers Politics, world news, tech reviews, health, science and entertainment news
I-ideology
From the front cover, if you have a knowledge of U.S politics, that the cover is of the new president elect, Barack Obama.This makes the reader know that this magazine covers relivant issues. Not to mention that Obama is the first Black president, which has caused much talk. When he won the U.S 2008 election, people said this was a 'historical moment'.
This also makes the reader think (if they have prior knowledge) that the magazine article will be in depth and probably for the more educated person.
A-audience
I think this is aimed at older people. however, in america the elections are very important to everyone who can vote. I think this magazine would be aimed at 18 to atleast 50, as the older person would probably find politics and world events. as a younger person would probably more appealed to, for example vogue etc.

magazine 3. London 'i-D magazine'L-language
The layout of this is similar to the NME layout. the title however is displayed in the same corner but verically down the left side. The colour is a light bright yellow which contrasts well towards the main picture, which is used as the full background. there are no other article adverts, just the title and subtitles which say "MIA" on the left hand side, and "LOUDER THAN BOMBS" in the same colour and font (just bigger) at the bottom. louder then bombs is a fairly bold statement and gives many ideas as to what the magazine would cover topic wise. look at 'ideology' for my thoughts on this
I-institution
i-D magazine, a london based fashion/political/music magazine
I-ideology
those who have read the magazine before will know what the topics are, but as a first time viewer of the cover i would think it gives the impression that the topics are politics, but also music and fashion. those who know who the women on the front is will know that she is a singer called 'MIA'. this makes those who know who she is, think the magazine will be about music. but also as she sings about quite political things, the title ties in. bombs being something used in wars, but also the reference to louder, making the audience think, she is louder than bombs. i think its tied into fashion because of her pose and the way the picture is photographed. she is dressed and looks nice, but also the picture shows her covering her left eye. this is a common pose on every i-D cover. this makes the magazine recognisable and memorable.
A-audience
I think this is aimed at people ages 18 and up. although it is a music/fashion magazine, it covers rellivant issues such a politics, world events etc which i think anyone under a certain age would not appriciate as much.
