tatler
 The use of Serif font for the title gives the word ‘Tatler’ a more regal,
formal and sophisticated appearance which reinforces the magazine’s
brand identity as upper class and associated with style and elegance

The setting is blurred which makes it look exotic and uses an outdoor
location juxtaposed with the glamorous outfit of the model.

Reveal
 Use of paparazzi shots rather than posed shots which make the reader
feel as if they are seeing a different side to celebrities and this reinforces
the dramatic coverlines.

Words like ‘Exclusive’ allow the reader to feel special and privileged.

5. the interrelationship between texts, especially works of literature; the way that similar or related texts influence, reflect, or differ from each other

6.The  movie suggested is Roman holiday and the effect is created with the fruits, busy streets and the scene of the Amalfi coast.
