  Close-textual analysis: Gentlewoman front cover: 1) What do the typefaces used on the front cover suggest to an audience? The serif and sans serif fonts are created to be simple yet effective in terms of what the cover wants its full attention on, which is what the typefaces used on the front cover suggest to an audience. 2) How does the cover subvert conventional magazine cover design? The typical magazine cover would feature a medium-sized photo of the subject; but, in this instance, a much larger close-up shot defies the magazine cover pattern. 3) Write an analysis of the central image.

  Media Magazine feature: Pleasures of The Gentlewoman: 1) What does the article suggest is different about the Gentlewoman compared to traditional women's magazines?

It probably won't come as a surprise to anyone to learn that the vast majority of the gentlewoman's subjects are categorically not males, but it does a pretty excellent job of displaying a spectru

  Writer's Edit journal article: 1) What is the definition of an independent print magazine? The independent print publication is "published without the financial support of a large corporation or institution in which the makers control publication and distribution." 2) What does Hamilton (2013) suggest about independent magazines in the digital age? modest printed magazines may be quietly thriving even as the global newspaper and book businesses struggle, according to a modest but rising body of research. Hamilton (2013), p. 43. 3) Why does the article suggest that independent magazines might be succeeding while global magazine publishers such as Bauer are struggling? Large publishers in Australia like Bauer Media and News Limited struggle to keep readers from switching to internet publications. Independent magazine publishers, in contrast, make good use of digital innovations and have a significant online presence. 4) What does the article suggest about how independent
