Language: Long Shot- includes the whole outfit and takes up most of the page, left half of the page taken up by image and right taken by the text. Before we even begin to read the article we know that it is going to be about WILL.I.AM although it has a picture of the whole band, we can tell it is going to be an interview with him firstly because the rest of the band are faded out then secondly the text that matches the colours he is wearing, and then lastly because the text reads ‘will he won’t he?’ which all suggests the article is all about him, and we know this from the language of the text before we even begin to read the article. However we have a feeling the rest of the band are going to be mentioned because they are in the image and it I what he is famous for so it is most likely the main topic of the interview will include the band. Each band member is wearing clothes that you would not wear on a daily basis, makes them stand out and look appealing to the audience. However this standing out it different from on the other magazines because it is not a denotation of rebellion it just encourage individuality and being yourself and creating your own fashion which at the moment is fashionable so this does not rebellion against main-street fashion it encourages it, the black eyed peas music is popular so this also continues this concept. Allure magazine is up to date with fashion and popular music so we can see why they use popular and fashionable bands in their magazine.
Institution: Allure Magazine
Values: To be up to date with the main-street fashion and music. They will value what is popular, who people will want to read about such as will.i.am.
Target Audience: The audience will be age range from 13-30 I think it will mainly appeal to teenagers and younger generation because usually that is the main audience that will be interested in pop music and keeping up with what is ‘in.’ However black-eyed peas could appeal to quite a wide range because they have been making music for a large period of time therefore people that already knew that in the past may still have an interest in them now even though they have changed over time to keep updated with what is popular and in fashion.

Representation: The black-eyed peas are a good representation of popular music, they can represent a large majority of people because they are breaking down racial and gender barriers as each band member has a different racial background and also includes both male and female members showing a good representation of equality in the band. The gold could represent the band being rich and important, the gold sick clothing is a good connation of wealth and success which is what they have achieved because as time has gone on the band has got bigger and more successful especially in recent years. They are a good representation of what is popular as they are always up to date with trends and what is new and popular they follow fashion and popular music and update with what is going on in the media and are therefore a good representation of a pop band.
