You have written "use of language" a lot in your analyses but not really drilled into HOW you are using language. Eg exclamation marks on the cover, or levels of formality/informality, or slang, or second person pronouns (did you use them?). All these, as well as stylistic and content features, establish the "mode of address" of the magazine - ie the relationship it tries to establish between it and its implied reader. Is it a big sister? A boyfriend? An impartial authoritative voice? etc... Sean
