• What is the purpose of this magazine?
• Identify and explain the target audience ( use the reading I gave you)
• Deconstruct the front cover - look at the semiotics, who is being communicated to / how? (use the key words)  How has the page been constucted to communicate with the TA?
• Deconstruct the content page - what extra info are we given about the TA?  Genre? Institution?
• What values are being suggested to the TA?
• Is the magazine effective at targetting its audience?
• What have you learnt about the production of magazines?
• How can you use this in your coursework?

Your answers need to be posted to your blog, including relevant images of the magazine.
