There is a woman on the advert is standing alone and has a happy expression on her face. This is a indexical sign, which is mean to represent female empowerment and that women don’t need men to feel strong. There are also signs, such as the Facebook logo and the iTunes logo. This is an iconic sign because everyone knows what they are and what they mean, it looks like what it represents.

The preferred reading of this magazine advert is that she is standing alone and is strong and happy. She does’t have to rely on anyone else to be herself and she comfortable being how she is. The oppositional reading might be that she is all alone in this big celebrity lifestyle and she has know one to share it will. People might thing that she is putting on a happy face for the camera for the publicity of the album but really she is sad and all alone.
