Looking at Celebrity Magazines


Task 1 


1. One example of the current cultural 'ideal' would be Peter Andre as he has taken part in lots of charities, has been in adverts and has also had his own TV Reality show and everyone has heard about his ex-wife Katie Price and their split. Also some people share the same experience of having and looking after a child with down-syndrome.







2. One example of a challenge to the 'ideal' would be the singer Adele as she is bigger than a stereotypical artist. This challenges the typical artist impression of being 'perfect' and stick thin.







3. One example of a comparison between us and the 'ideal' is Kelly Brook as she is seen paying for her car park ticket. Magazines show this to make her appear approachable  and we can relate to her.







Task 2

Beyonce

1. Beyonce is known for her curvy body but does not  have a particular USP. This does not matter as she is liked for her music and her voice.

2. Beyonce conveys ideologies about women expressing themselves and working independently. This is shown through making a name for herself by making good music and not anything else.

3. Beyonce conveys these ideas outside of her music as she works independently without her husband.
