Reader Profile

Reader Profile - Autumn Wilson

" Hello, it's Autumn here! I'm 16 and have just started sixth-form, the biggest step I've taken in life so far. It was slightly scary beginning my A-levels and saying bye to my old friends but I am looking forward to the next 2 years, full of exams and lot of homework no doubt. It will be fine though as I am taking subject I enjoy: Maths, Ict and English literature. I have always loved English Literature as it allows me to dig deeper into a writers mind and methodology and so I plan on hopefully doing studying at University. However, I sometimes feel there is limited access for people like me who want to pursue this certain career.
As an English student, I have always loved reading as well as playing tennis and painting. Hobbies likes these help me balance leisure time with work. Sometimes I struggle with getting my timing wrong so I am always on the look out for tips and tricks to help me keep up."

Magazine Deconstruction

Teen Vogue Magazine Deconstruction

Teen Vogue is an American magazine that is targeted at teenage girls. They feature articles about make up, fashion and celebrity gossip. The copy I deconstructed was April 2013 edition featuring Shay Mitchell.
This task helped my understanding of the features that is included in an average magazine. I now know where things are placed and the purpose of them as well as how they impact the audience.
