Stereotypes
Tattoo Lover stereotype: Greasy, mean, middle-aged, tattoos that covers most of body, male
Private school boy stereotype: Stuck up, entitled, wealthy family, posh, trust fund
Nurse: Woman, kind, sweet
DOCUMENTARY:
The teachers and students are represented very positively, they make the school look and sound to have a very healthy atmosphere. Of course there is still stereotypes centered around how the students act e.g. a lot of them are made out to seem a lot like troublemakers, energetic and noisy re-enforcing the stereotype. On the other hand the relationship between the teachers and students are made to seem very positive.

Carrie Underwood magazine representations:
1. Friendly, motherly "At home with Carrie Underwood!" casual
2. Powerful, cool, diva, confident
3. Royal, energetic, kind " Girl next door"- type person.
They are different covers to interest their different audiences, and to of course fit its genre.
- Friendly
- humble
- mature
Differences:
The two magazines (of Carrie Underwood and David Beckham) both differentiate in colour- Carrie's being bright pink and David's being blue and dark grey; Carrie has been made to look confident, 'desirable' and eye-catching, while Beckham has been made tough, also confident but in a more encouraging or fearful way, and masculine.
It was made this way so:
- it could fit the genre
- appeal to the reader
Men are represented as tough, sporty and bold- unlike half of Underwood's cover lines, Beckham's front cover is filled with differentiating 'masculine' topics: ' How one day changed football forever', ' Get the coolest shoes on the planet', 'Bear Grylls joins GQ! With his secrets of urban survival'. Of course you can argue this with the hand placement of his wedding ring to value his wife, and the anti-stereotypical approach of men with the thoughts on fashion and jewellery.
Do Now:
1. The main cover line will be the second biggest and boldest thing next to the masthead

How do you compare representations?
LO/
to write and structure an effective exam style answer
Compare the representation of gender in the cosmopolitan front cover and the GQ front cover
[25 marks]
1) List the similarities and differences e.g. they both include their stereotypical gender colour, or one of them contains anti-stereotypical coverlines while the other one is stereotypical.
2) Use the list to make my judgement
3) Use structure to make paragraph
structuring a paragraph:
DESCRIBE- the technique/ element/ representation used
EXPLAIN- the connotations/ meanings constructed, support with specific evidence
LINK- to the overall context/ meaning/ question
'In the GQ cover, men are represented as sophisticated and older. The tuxedo has connotations of wealth and elegance; the use of David Beckham as a star vehicle suggests an older audience. This is different to to cosmopolitan cover because...'
How is gender represented on both covers?
cosmopolitan:
- Tackles stereotypes by bringing pink onto a male coverstar
- Male coverstar on a female magazine
- Feminine clothing
- Anti-stereotypical coverlines
- Still looks physically strong (which tends to be stereotypical)
- Stereotypically feminine topics
GQ:
- Female coverstar on a male magazine
- Sexual objectification
- Representing Medusa ( a mythological figure known for being scary, sexual, deadly ect)
- 'All hail the new new man!'-
- The masthead is in its usual form, but to match the title, is gold to connote wealth or bold-ness (SANS SERIF FONT)
This is similar to Sterling's cover as men are represented as powerful, high-status, sophisticated etc.
Similarities:
- Both empowers feminism
- both covers also stereotypes/ objectifies women
Differences:
- GQ cover is a little objectifiing
- GQ makes women look more threatening
HOW WOULD YOU STRUCTURE AN ANSWER TO THIS?:
1. How is gender represented in cosmopolitan:
The cosmopolitan cover represents both genders in this case because of their male star vehicle but still representing the women the magazine is mainly targeted for. Men are represented anti-stereotypically: Tom Daley is wearing pink ( 'feminine colour'); the cover lines surrounding him

Case Study 1: Raheem Sterling GQ
LO/
to explore the context and layout design for GQ magazine
Context:
- GQ has a history of objectifying women, promoting chauvinist attitude towards women
- 1990s, magazine went with a streak of only male cover stars to introducing some female actors, models, and music artists
- women on GQ were generally shot less than fully clothed
- GQ today is far different to how it used to be
How does GQ target its audience?
GQ targets a stereotypical male audience with dominating ideas and subjects.
How does GQ represent gender?
Again, gender is represented pretty stereotypically. Men are shown as sophisticated, conservative, mature; women are demonstrated as young, skinny, objects ( with little to no clothing on .
MEDIA LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATIONS
Cover Analysis: media language
Typography: Typography is how the text looks e.g. font, style, size, capitals etc
- The font is a sand serif font, connoting a more modern, masculine ideas
- The masthead is the only thing in block capitals connoting that its domineering
- The only term not in a type of sand serif is the main cover line - Rock'n' Roll Star - connoting that its the main subject of the magazine + holds more traditional value to the rest of the topics in the magazine ( '99'(ways to look cool this autumn) is also in a more traditional font connoting 'older' clothing ideas)
- the colour palette on the magazine is beige and white ( with a little black as an accent)- this connotes sophistication and maturity, giving us the idea of who the magazine is targeted at
- the layout is in a Z shape ( judging by how we read from left to right)
Anchorage text is any text that gives you the meaning of the image, producers will try to direct the audiences interpretation to a preferfed reading of a media text by using anchorage

Analysing our case study text
The masthead is in a bold and large sans serif font, the colour is in deep gold, connoting wealth, but also religion in context of the rest of the cover. The contrast of black and gold implies binary opposites in this cover.
Guardian Angel connotations-
- he is a winger in football, playing on the sides of the wings
- he protects other black players from further racial incidents through his campaigning
- he was seen as 'evil' person, but in reality seems on the whole to be a good one
List of people( Gwendoline Christie, Ricky Gervais, Adwoa Aboah & Michael Wolff)- coverlines - suggest male prefrenced.
MAIN IMAGE=
- Black wings link back to the Guardian Angel idea of him protecting other back people in football
- Colour palette of lots of black and dark colours maybe a connotation of him being proud of his race and him standing up to football ; the wings are not completely black suggesting equity/ equality
- The posture expression is quite laidback
- low angle wide shot connoting power
- the way his legs are positioned is pretty masculine and domineering
- the head tilt feels like he is questioning something ( in this case it is a question to whether or not the people who come after him will really face him)
- the shirtless-ness empowers his skin-tone + the tattoos that the press came after him for ( they alleged that he was supporting gun culture, but in reality it was a memorial to his dad) he is now showing off
- jewellery connoting wealth
- he is positioned in the middle, connoting he wants people to listen to him
Analysis:
The cover shown was published by GQ in 2019, cover star featuring MBE professional footballer Raheem Sterling- who at the time was speaking up about the ignored racism in football.
The masthead on the magazine- GQ- is in block capitals, san serif- connoting masculinity in favour of its audience- as it is usually in its publishing, the colour is a deep gold connoting wealth ( but also religion in context of the rest of the cover); this links to Sterling himself, that he wont be ridiculed by the press for showing his success.
The anchorage text ' Guardian Angel', the lexis, is a serif font in the same deep gold as the masthead; the font connotes religion and it being old fashioned, as guardian angel is usually ; the actual text itself is a connotation for him protecting other black people in football, and that he is not the 'evil' 'devil' person the press makes him out to be.
The cover line, the list of people specifically, targets GQ's audience 'sophisticated' male ( in other terms ABC1). It is in a sans serif font connoting masculinity and modern; the text itself, ' GQ's Hero's', is set to appeal to the male audience, for example; Gwendoline Christie who starred in a set of fairly "masculine" shows . This links back to GQ's history of appealing to their male audience.
The main image itself stars Raheem Sterling standing laidback, posture high with black angel wings sprouting tall from his back

Re-write: Language:
The language on the cover, consists of the main cover line ( the anchorage text) and other cover lines. The main cover line, 'Guardian Angel', is a metaphor used for Sterling connoting religion and protection linking to the idea that he saves and protects people from the ignorant racism in football. The other cover lines are mainly to interest and broaden their male audience. For example, 'Picture exclusive! Gwendoline Christie, Ricky Gervais ' etc, this list has been selected by GQ to appeal to their male audience; on the other hand, the top cover line ' Why it's finally OK to own a beltbag ' counteracts their masculine representation by presenting a more feminine idea ( because bags are typically a more female interest).

Case Study 2: Malala Yousafzai
LO/
To explore the context and cover star for case study 2
How do these two covers show Vogue's new approach towards diversity?:
Vogue, historically, did not take a lot of risks when it came to people of colour as individual cover stars; their first black cover star was on the cover in 1987, but even after then they still did not choose to add more diversity to their covers. In 2017
MALALA YOUSAFZAI:
- born in 1997
- in 2008, when the Taliban took over Pakistan, she was forced to leave school
- she spoke out about this in 2012 on behalf of girls and their right to learn, she was on a bus and was shot in the head by the Taliban
- She moved to the UK with her family and in 2014 became the youngest ever winner of the nobel peace prize
Malala Yousafzai, a girl from Mingora city, Pakistan, was just 11 when she wrote a blog on the BBC covering the details of her life ( as a girl) under Taliban rule. Not liking the voice she spoke, in 2012 Malala was shot in the head on the way back from school. She awoke in Birmingham, UK, immediately receiving praise and support from all over the world anticipating her recovery. From then on she transformed into a prominent activist for the right to education- receiving a Nobel peace prize two years later proclaiming her the youngest winner to date and going on to campaign and fight for the rights of everybody the Taliban had stole from.
Do Now:
- Malala is known for speaking up against the Taliban in 2012
- In 2021 British and other soldiers were going to go out of Afghanistan
- ABC1 women, 20-44

Masthead: VOGUE
- The masthead is in a serif font connoting femininity, tradition, and sophistication
- The word vogue means the prevailing fashion or style at a particular time.
- The block capitals emphasise the masthead ( a feminist idea?)- seen as an authority over fashion
- The masthead is in front of her head to present to the audience that this magazine known for mostly white, famous models and celebrities has a politically vocal activist starring on their cover- anchors her status, she has the right to be on this cover
- The silver connotes wealth, respect, and elegance; the colour makes her name stand out more; it is also used
Anchorage text:
- The main cover line is white, the brightest colour on the magazine, to emphasise her significance, tells you who it was
- ' survivor, activist, legend' this summarises Malala and her journey; the triplet connotes her as being ' saint-like', she survived in a miracle, fought for others in her situation, and makes her look like a timeless hero ( it emphasises her strength)
Layout:
- the layout follows typical magazine conventions ( a z shape); so does the three main colours
- It draws our eyes above and onto Yousafzai
Cover-lines:
- 'The shape of now' is a metaphor describing the 'trend ' of modern times emphasising the importance of fashion + 'perfectly-cut trousers ' is a hyperbole exaggerating the trousers significance (convincing you to consume)
- 'Love after lockdown' is targeted to the younger female audience (alliteration)
- 'Vogues guide to summer beauty' address's to you directly- like a friend even ; broadens their 'fashion bible' idea
- The accent colour is black to bolden
- The lines grab the readers attention; they draw the women into a more familiar territory
- ' fighting talk' broadens the readers appeal
Image:

- The colour connotes passion, courage, love etc, but it can also connote war and anger; the background is the same colour as her clothes so her face is the immediate thing the reader sees

Cover Analysis: Malala Yousafzai
Analyse the cover for how media language has been used to create different meanings.
You could mention:
- Main image
- Anchorage
- Coverlines
- Layout
Vogue magazine published this magazine for July 2021, Malala Yousafzai as their cover star, in context: at the time the British and French army were planning to leave Afghanistan, leaving the country in the hands of the Taliban, Malala is on the cover to address why this decision would have consequences. Media language has been ued in many different ways to create different meanings, firstly, in the main image of this magazine, Malala has been displayed in a very feminine way, the look on her face ( which directly address's the reader) is soft and smiling, her make-up being very natural but also glows in comparison to the red background and clothing; this connotes female empowerment, Malala wants to communicate her message to the audience, and Vogue makes her the focus of the magazine to do this. The her clothing is red, which connotes to love and courage- she will strive to make her message clear with the love for her people and home; on the other hand, red is a symbol for anger and war, connoting why she wants her message spoken and the affect of the Taliban on innocent people.
The main cover line/ anchorage text of this magazine, ' The extraordinary life of Malala', is a serif font, connoting femininity for empowerment, which is the only text on the cover in white; white connotations can be beginnings and purity, which strengthens Malala's pride for her religion, Vogue has also made it white so it can stand out next to her face reinforcing to the readers that they want you to know this person/ that this person is important. Most of the cover-lines

Malala Yousafzai; representation
In the past, Muslims have been represented as straight, serious, male characters with rarely anything romantic or comedic about them ( sometimes stereotyped as terrorists).
-misrepresented/ underrepresented.
stereotypical fashion magazine: white, female, 'male-gaze',
In terms of ethnicity the Vogue cover shows a more diverse cast, in contrast to their previously very white-dominated
The cover is representing females as politically, and socially educated; vogue keeps the typical conventions of a women's magazine -' love after lockdown'- but it does
Explain how both gender and ethnicity has been represented on this cover-
Ethnicity is represented in an anti-stereotypical way
For example, the main image shows Malala dressed in a bold red hijab (along with the background), subtle but elegant jewellery, and light makeup; she is positioned in a medium-closeup and gestured in a soft, gentle manner. Malala is overall presented very feminine, following Vogue's convention, with her jewellery and traditional Muslim headwear, her disposition also connoting warmth and safety; with the red of the background and her clothing connotes passion, courage, love, strength etc .This challenges Islamic stereotypes as in previous media, Muslims are misrepresented as mostly male, serious, and historically 'terrorists'; Malala opposes this by representing her culture as something beautiful and illustrious. This links to Malala's audience as it boldens her previously ( or even still) underrepresented culture in media.
Gender still follows women's interests stereotypically, but Vogue does challenge this with some 'intelligent' topics discussed.
For example, Vogue supports stereotypes in the cover lines with lines like 'Vogues guide to summer beauty' (direct address), 'Love after lockdown' (alliteration), and ' the shape of now'-fashion (metaphor). These follow the stereotypical conventions of a woman's fashion magazine; they present women as mainly interested in appearance and finding the one-and-only important male to finally make her life
begin.
On the other hand, Vogue promotes women as intellects, interested in the much, much larger pictures. For example, 'Fighting talk' ( hyperbole?), and, vogues cover star, 'The extraordinary life of Malala: survivor, activist, legend'.
