Genre Conventions:
Grazia magazine includes many of the typical genre conventions you would expect of a magazine of this type. It uses headlines to draw in the reader and make them want to buy the magazine with it including words commonly used in magazines like this such as 'REVEALED', 'ROMANTIC' and also 'EXCLUSIVE'. Furthermore, it uses a celebrity on the front cover as it is someone who a lot of people will recognise and know about so if they see them on the shelf or wherever the magazine is, they will be instantly drawn in.
Settings/Locations:
Shows Emma Watson at some sort of award ceremony showing her success and fame.
Representations:
Could say that it represents women like many of the other magazines, however it shows them in a different way. It shows a more feminist side of things and strays away from gender roles with Emma Watson wearing a suit and saying how she wants to propose instead of what normally would be a man.
Media Language:
Like many of the other magazines it uses alliteration to create a catchy tagline for example 'The Statement Scene'. Also has Emma Watson taking up the majority of the cover showing that she is the centre of attention and is the biggest focus. Taglines are used to inform the reader of the contents of the magazine.
Appeals to the target audience:
It uses someone who fits the target demographics so the audience can find them more relatable and the readers reading this magazine may feel as though they are able to stay relevant due to reading it as it discusses celebrity new and trends and fashion.
