Royal Magazine Advert
Audience- We could speculate that the audience of this advert are people of upper class who are interested in the royal family. This is because the quality of doll looks high so may be quite expensive and difficult for lower class people to afford despite being strong fans of the royal family. The text is also standard English and is very formal which is another reason to attract an older and higher class audience. The media would suggest that the doll would be for a young child, most probably a girl however we can see by the formal font used and the amount of text, that a child would not be attracted to this advert therefore I have concluded the most likely customer of this product would be an older, upper-class fan of the royal family, however another potential buyer, could be that of a woman who cannot have children and wants to fill that void with a doll.
Purpose- The primary purpose to persuade potential customers to buy the product but also has a secondary purpose to inform the audience about key information the product is based around. The influence of the text being informative is that there is a lot of writing consisting of facts. A disadvantage of this is that people won't want to read it if they are just skimming through a magazine but the upside is that potential buyers will find the information interesting.
Format/Layout- The layout of this text is very basic, e.g. image on the left, text on the right, slip at the bottom. The large sizing of the doll reassures the customer of how high a quality the product is and therefore may attract more buyers. The font used is elegant and of a rich colour to reinforce the royal background and appeal to higher class buyers.
Has the gender of the audience or producer influence the text?
No, because although the product itself is aimed at women, the wording and colours are not gender specific.
