3) Look specifically at question 2. Use the indicative content in the mark scheme for question 2 to write three connotations of the design and layout of Tatler.

- a conventional women’s magazine layout with a combination of main image and cover lines.  It is a busy front cover suggesting the magazine is packed with content, but the cover lines  are quite neatly presented in two distinct columns and are grouped around the centre
