  1. Elizabeth Ibarrola Projections of Independence Through Youth CMC 100 Professor Ted Gournelos Content Analysis

  2. Thesis This paper will focus on the images of independence created by the Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone magazines througha content analysis of the October 2010 issues of both magazines. I will argue that although the magazines are creating differing perceptions of independence and youth, Vanity Fair focusing on an image of perfection and Rolling Stone on an image of rebellion, that they ultimately use the same methods to portray freedom. Perfection VF – 65% RS – 32% Rebellion VF – 30% RS – 68%

  3. Leisure Leisure VF – 67% RS – 81% Wealth VF – 69% RS – 29%

  4. Movement Sitting VF – 40% RS – 13% Looking straight at camera VF – 60% RS – 69% Vivid color/black and white Bold Text

  5. Cool Male to Female Ratio VF– 73% female between 2:7 and 3:7 RS – 67% male 2:1 Sexualized VF – 34% RS – 29% Vivid color and bold text Vintage

  6. Conclusion Although the magazines are selling slightly different images of independence to two different audiences, they are built on the same essential qualities and are therefore equally unattainable. They create an image of youth as a means of freedom, however the dynamic, hip, and carefree nature of that youthfulness is inaccessible.
