Dominant, Preferred or Hegemonic Reading The Hegemonic Reading for this advert would be that Reebok have used 50 Cent, a successful and well-established rapper, deliberately to promote their brand . By doing this Reebok will have an increase of sales because of the increase in their popularity. This is because he is already a role model for his fans and has a connection with younger people- boys and girls, they will be attracted to buying this brands product. Negotiated Reading This advert can be viewed in many ways- such as positive and negative views. One positive view of this advert may be that the brand- Reebok , is paying attention to a group of people who have been marginalised by the society. This is because black people are associated with drugs and crime. We can see in the media how black people are portrayed and eventually a myth is created.

      1) This is a magazine .- "heat" 2) I know this is a magazine because this contains a variety of content and is published regularly because "heat" is a common  brand and can be found in many stores. The magazines name is "heat"- this is the brand of the magazine. The title is in lower case which seems to be portrayed as less formal and therefore appeal to a range of readers. Also, the fact that the lettering is bold and is the colour white on a blue background makes it stand out and seem more appealing. Furthermore there is a strap line above the brand name which makes it appealing to the readers. The cover includes a powerful, central image of popular celebrity who catches the eyes of the public. Additionally, the magazine cover includes revealing images of the celebrities. This makes the magazine more popular as people would want to know why the celebrity has posed that way. Also, the magazine has lots of gossip about ...

Newspapers I don't read any newspapers, I check the news online. I always check the science section because its interesting. I never check the sports news.
