the stereotype was the kids acting rambunctious.

cosmopolitan  has a guy in a feminine clothing style and has pink for its main colour                                gq has rihanna as the main cover with no clothes on and the main colors are more masculine and she has snakes over her like medusa (a greek god) so this shows us that she's being represented as a goddess                                                                                                                             

                                    

the two magazines, cosmopolitan and GQ , they have a huge difference between the covers because , GQ has a woman called rihanna on as the main image and she has been for shown as a greek goddess because she has snakes over head and one across her body like medusa it also has more of a masculine colour palette in the background . the other magazine cover has tom daley on and

 language

In the front cover of the GQ magazine with Raheem sterling in, the language used like “how Raheem sterling saved football from itself “this connotes how Raheem is countering football racism in the premier league and his name is wrote in big letters to make it stand out to show his power , some other words in the magazine are guardian angel , this shows he's a guardian angel when it comes to racism in the premier league . The writing is in a gold font with orange and some white as accent colors to make it stand out to the audience and to show the importance of it. This is important to make the audience understand that Raheem is going through.

On October 9, 2012, Yousafzai was shot in the head by a TTP gunman while she was en route home from school.
Malala Yousafzai, receiving her Nobel Prize medal and diploma during the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony at the Oslo City Hall in Norway, 10 December 2014.

Malala Yousafzai(: born 12 July 1997) is a Pakistani female education activist, film and television producer, and the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize laureate at the age of 17. She is the youngest Nobel Prize laureate in history, the second Pakistani and the only Pashtun to receive a Nobel Prize .Yousafzai is a human rights advocate for the education of women and children in her native homeland, Swat, where the Pakistani Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Her advocacy has grown into an international movement, and according to former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, she has become Pakistan's "most prominent citizen."

The daughter of education activist Ziauddin Yousafzai, she was born to a Yusufzai Pashtun family in Swat and was named after the Afghan folk heroine Malalai of Maiwand. Considering Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Barack Obama, and Benazir Bhutto as her role models, she was also inspired by her father's thoughts and humanitarian work.In early 2009, when she was 11, she wrote a blog under her pseudonym Gul Makai for the BBC Urdu to detail her life during the Taliban's occupation of Swat. The following summer, journalist Adam B. Ellick made a New York Times documentary about her life as the Pakistan Armed Forces launched Operation Rah-e-Rast against the militants in Swat. In 2011, she received Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize.She interned for the Swat Relief Initiative, a foundation founded by Zebunisa Jilani, a princess of the Royal House of Swat which supports schools and clinics.She rose in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television, and was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize by activist Desmond Tutu.

On 9 October 2012, while on a bus in Swat District after taking an exam, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban gunman in an assassination attempt targeting her for her activism; the gunman fled the scene. She was struck in the head by a bullet and remained unconscious and in critical condition at the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, but her condition later improved enough for her to be transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, UK. The attempt on her life sparked an international outpouring of support. Deutsche Welle reported in January 2013 that she may have become "the most famous teenager in the world". Weeks after the attempted murder, a group of 50 leading Muslim clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwā against those who tried to kill her. Governments, human rights organizations and feminist groups subsequently condemned the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan. In response, the Taliban further denounced Yousafzai, indicating plans for a possible second assassination attempt which the Taliban felt was justified as a religious obligation. This sparked another international outcry.

After her recovery, Yousafzai became a more prominent activist for the right to education. Based in Birmingham, she co-founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organisation, with Shiza Shahid.In 2013, she co-authored I Am Malala, an international best seller. In 2013, she received the Sakharov Prize, and in 2014, she was the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize with Kailash Satyarthi of India. Aged 17 at the time, she was the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate.In 2015, she was the subject of the Oscar-shortlisted documentary He Named Me Malala. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 issues of Time magazine featured her as one of the most influential people globally. In 2017 she was awarded honorary Canadian citizenship and became the youngest person to address the House of Commons of Canada.

Yousafzai completed her secondary school education at Edgbaston High School, Birmingham in England from 2013 to 2017.From there she won a place at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, and undertook three years of study for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, graduating in 2020. She returned in 2023 to become the youngest ever Honorary Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford.

malala yousafzai was born in 12th of july 1997  in Mingora, the largest city in the Swat Valley in what is now the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan.malala yousafzai at a young age (15) was shot for speaking out publicly on behalf of girls and our right to learn. And this made her a target. In October 2012, on her way home from school, a masked gunman boarded her school bus and asked, “Who is Malala?” He shot her on the left side of her head.Malala Yousafzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, jointly with Kailash Satyarthi, for her struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.

malala is wearing red to show her importance , her strength and her power  and her passion because of the danger she lived through

 the main cover line : the white clearly contrasts with the red background celebrating her name and her status. ,Malala's name and her importance is highlighted 

The cover of Vogue featuring Malala Yousafzai is a powerful and striking image, capturing the essence of her journey as an advocate for girls’ education and human rights. In the photograph, Malala exudes both strength and grace, her expression confident yet compassionate. She is dressed in a bright, elegant outfit that contrasts with the often somber tones associated with her story, symbolizing the hope and resilience she represents. The cover is not just a portrait of a Nobel laureate, but a statement about the importance of education and activism.

Malala’s presence on Vogue transcends fashion; it’s a celebration of her global impact and a platform for her to speak about the causes she holds dear. The shoot, with its soft lighting and powerful composition, conveys a message of empowerment, signaling that Malala is not just a symbol of survival but a beacon of change in the fight for justice and equality. The cover encapsulates her role as a young woman who defied the odds to become a leading voice for the rights of girls around the world.

firstly the main image shows Malala's face fairly up close and looks straight at us this is direct address and the camera angle  is mid shot and the colour connatates that she has alot of power and passion because of the recent dangerous incident and how she recovery being shot.

the two covers show , one with malala and the other with kim kardashian on , there is a significant difference between the two covers this can be seen because on the vogue cover with malala on its focused on her face and is a close shot , she is wearing non revealing clothes , the outfit she is wearing is red where as the cover with kim kardashian on she is wearing very revealing clothes and focuses on her body . the typography used on both the covers are bold but the cover with malala on highlights her name and makes it show that she is powerful and strong where as the elle cover with kim on shows the word confidence that is highlighted the font colour is pink showing a stereotypical females colour.

the two covers show differences , the diferences are the colours, the colours on kims cover are stereotypical colours for females  but the malala cover has bright letters for her name and is making it important .

in the cover with lizzo in there embracing her body because its a long body shot showing the whole of her , the red dress shows power and confidence .. where as the cover with kim kardashian on she is showing of her female body parts alot more and focuses on her body 

assessment dirt 

question 1 

the main image shows a mid shot of malala looking directly at the camera which connotes confidence and power . she is clearly wearing a hijab which can connote religion. 

layout and design

the font style of the words on the malala magazine has a white , grey and black colour palette this makes the name malala pop out and the words ' the extraordinary life of ' this highlight the fact that she has got shot but is still alive and also shows that she is spectacular. vogue is showing sophisticated by presenting a serif font size.

question 2a               

at the time of 2021 the us troops had just withdrawn from staying in Afghanistan , and this worried malala because she thought that if they left then what she had been fighting for would have been useless and shed have to fight again . also at the time we had just got out of lockdown and vogue want to keep their magazine up to date of what was going on. vogue have mentioned this because they want to raise awareness to people so they could help and spread the word.

question 2 b

one difference between the two covers is their clothing is completely different. this is shown in the sterling cover by showing of his muscles and strength , he isn't wearing a top but hes got angels wings on his back . it connotes his ethnicity by showing a stereo typical black man by his strength and athleticism. however in the holland cover hes wearing a suit which connotes his sophistication and wealth which indulges the typical white stereotype
