Understanding Ideology and Values

HEAT MAGAZINE

1) The titles, themes and topics of each article are as follows:
  - The Famous ( Include topics about celebrities fame life plus their private lives)
Page 12: Inside the celebrity hook-up: J-Law & Liam Hemsworth: "The Hunger Games stars are dating"

Page 24: Lauren Murray talks to heat about life on X Factor; includes areas about her past life, her current experiences being in the final of the competition etc.

Page 26: FKA Twigs gives R-Pattz and ultimatum; Includes celeb drama between Robert Patterson his Fiancée and Katy Perry( who has been close with him since 2008)

Page 68: Sequins: how to wear them without looking like a disco ball; also provide prices and where to get the outfits from.

Page 73: New hair trend alert; show different ways to wear a simple bun also provides photos of models/celebs rocking the hair do.

Page 75: Designer accessories for less... ( once again provides prices and where the products are sold)


2) Pages 68-75 give continuous fashion, makeup, hairstyle advice plus suggestions i.e.. what to wear with sequins. Also provide phot snippets of celebrities wearing a certain 'in trend' outfit or hairstyle therefore encouraging the (mostly female) audiences to try and follow along.

Pages 12,14,26 Give an insight of celebrities love lives, who they dated, who they're dating and who they want to date. also includes articles about rising stars like Lauren Murray from The X Factor.

3) - The Famous; meaning celebrities
    -  Personal Shopper; meaning latest fashion trends
    - The Playlist; meaning what's on TV

4) Firstly, an ideology is a system of values, attitudes and beliefs shared by a culture or society. Heat magazine includes everything and anything about celebrities whether it's what they're up to, what they're wearing or what they're watching. I think heat magazine aspires to make us feel as if we're celebs and allow us to follow their fashion trends and their lives in a whole ( whether it being personal or not) that's the reason they provide us with all the information about a certain celeb, similarly other magazines that have the same target audience as heat promote in this way.

5) The target audience for Heat magazine would mainly be females of the ages 15-24, that strive to know the latest happening of their favourite celeb, what designer they're wearing allowing them to be up to date with the latest 'in trend' outfits, makeup or hairstyles making them feel as if they're a celebrity.
