For my first media lesson, we had to work in groups of four. This included working with people you have never worked with before or don't generally speak to. We had to look at two different magazines, the magazines we were given were Glamour and Look. We had to analyse each magazine by looking at the front cover, a few sections inside the magazine, who the magazines appeal to, how they are presented and the institutions. We then had to find the conventions and the codes between them. We figured that these magazines had more differences than simularities, we found this by just looking at the front covers, the Look magazine is a lot more into fashion, celebrities and they love the gossip! The Glamour magazine was a lot more professional than Look because of the way it has been layed out. It is very well colour coded, where as Look isn't. The simularities we found were that they were read by the same sort of audience.
