In this section of the lesson we examine in depth two magazines (GQ and The Gentle Woman)

In depth study means that we are exploring issues of Media Language, Media Representation, Industry and Audiences .

First lets have a look at our Close Study Products.

The front cover of GQ Magazine March 2022

”GQ claims to be “the flagship of men’s fashion and style” with a “forward-looking, progressive and cutting-edge” approach to making men “look sharper and live smarter”. The lifestyle magazine is an influential mix of award-winning writing and photography aimed at image-conscious young men who are interested in fashion, culture, entertainment, sport, and relationships.

The magazine continues to evolve with an online version at gq.com, a strong social media presence, unique video programming, and tent-pole events, including the iconic British GQ Men of Year Awards which reaches a global audience.”
