Covergirl is a cosmetics brand and it collaborated with Walt Disney’s Star Wars movie to launch a new line of makeup targeted for women who are fans of the Star Wars franchise. After reading Lisa Wade’s reflection on the comparison between the ad campaigns for Covergirls’ Star Wars edition makeup line, there are a few sociological observations I would personally like to include after seeing the advertisement.…

The first thing Jill says in this article is attacking the media for what they are doing. She is fed up with emaciated models pushing the readers to be thin, sexy and silent; However now the girls a fighting back. With the use of the visual of the founder of the new trend and there cover girl it shows that you don’t need the perfect thin body and hot clothes to make you beautiful. This shows that these magazines are ‘glossy’ with only information about how to get ‘thin and sexy’. But with Jill praising the new publication trend which shows realistic images of young women is targeting women to think that they don’t need to only look at super models in the media, but of people who they can relate to. This persuades the reader that media now is only thinking of super models is how they will sell it, but another ‘real’ women magazine is going fine. Also you don’t need to think you need to be thin to be beautiful, all you need to be is a real girl.…
On the cover, Amy is basically taking over with a surprisingly timid look and a huge beehive hairstyle. The magazine name is barely seen behind her figure yet everyone can still tell it’s the Rolling Stone from the design they have developed and used in each issue. We can tell just by the “Rolli ne” on each side of Amy’s head that it is in fact the Rolling Stone by the structure that has become a trademark of the magazine. With only “Rolli ne” being visible, the magazine is implying that they are so well known that they don’t need to show their title on their magazine for it to be identified, bought, and read.…

Cosmopolitan are iconic for telling their audience about two main topics; lifestyle and sex. Just by looking at the magazine covers, it is clear that these two topics dominate. I researched the April 2012 cover of Cosmopolitan, it follows the generic conventions of a typical magazine format for a women’s fashion and lifestyle magazine. In terms of the colour scheme - the pink fonts and neutral clothing convey a sense of femininity and perhaps the everyday domestic lifestyle of…

Magazines are often a gateway into the minds of a population; often displaying their interests. This is a problem because Holden describes the magazines as, “phony,” “trivial,” and lacking any valuable information. Therefore, society as whole is deeply…
->published for the enlightenment of the entire family. It shows how to cope with today 's problems. It reports the news, tells about people in many lands, examines religion and science. But it does more. It probes beneath the surface and points to the real meaning behind current events, yet it always stays politically neutral and does not exalt one race over another. Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator 's promise of a peaceful and secure new world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things…

The aim of my dissertation is to explore the way women have been represented within magazines. From the stereotypical housewife magazines from the 1950’s and 60’s, through the evolution of women as a sex symbol in magazines primarily made for men, and how women throughout time more often than not have been viewed as a ‘thing’ presented to the world to be looked at and objectified.…
Half naked, sweaty, dominated women are the face of almost every magazine, commercial, or ad. Women are simply used as objects to sell items and gain fans. Instead of being viewed as intellectual human beings, females are used to lure paying customers with their bodies. Alex Bilmes, an editor for a men’s magazine states that the women they use are simply ornamental and objectified. He goes on to compare the services that Esquire, the magazine, provides to be the same as providing “pictures of cool cars.” Men are constantly being bombarded with magazines that promote the objectification of women and in turn, men begin to treat them that way. Men are not only taught to view women as objects but that dominance is a key factor in establishing…
Cosmopolitan Magazine is a popular publication directed mainly toward young women. While this magazine does offer helpful beauty tips, relationship advice, and the newest information on health and fitness, it is important to point out that the majority of this publication is centered on sex tips, how to improve your appearance, understanding how a man thinks and figuring out what he wants out of a relationship and how to please him in the bedroom. Throughout this magazine there are images of women, where the vast majority are thin and beautiful and have a striking resemblance to Barbie. The articles that are published in this magazine are based on the typical stereotypes of women and a women’s ‘role’ such as keeping your man happy, looking pretty, dealing without emotional selves and what we should and shouldn’t wear. In a May 2008 edition of Cosmopolitan Magazine,…
