  Part 1) Applying Reception theory to adverts Look back at the adverts you have been analysing in  last week's lessons on Reading an Image and media codes  (RBK 50 Cent and one of your choice).  1) What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the RBK 50 Cent advert?

The writing is also placed on the right side of the advert trying to not block 50 Cents face and his identity. The written and verbal code s u
