Harry styles magazine analysis

  The magazine I'm analysing is an unofficial magazine made about harry styles. The masthead of this magazine is “HARRY STYLES”, This helps reach out to its intended audience by making it big and centred at the top of the page.

I used cover lines fine my magazine, the main one being the school's slogan "BE MORE THIRSK". The cover lines and there to promote what's inside the magazine so peers will get an understanding of why this magazine will be useful to them. I also used information from my questionnaire to make my magazine, the answers suggested brighter colours, less writing and images would be the best fit for my magazine.

She had a head full of snakes instead of hair and skin hue that was almost revolting to see. Those who gazed into Medusa's eyes would turn to stone, but this wasn't just anyone and everyone. Medusa's curse was strictly bound to her turning men to stone.   Medusa's story isn't fully understood by many. People view her as a villain when she is a victim of patriarchal social norms. Medusa was disciplined for a man's actions. She's a woman who had her bodily autonomy taken away from her. She got forced to live a life she did not choose. Medusa was once a beautiful woman with gorgeous hair and mesmerising eyes, but that all changed when Poseidon, the God of the sea attempted to seduce Medusa in the temple of Athena, which is known for its purity. Medusa rejected Poseidon's advance. He did not accept the rejection and forced himself onto Me
