Analysis of Magazine Cover 3

 

This magazine cover has its title in the top left corner in bold white text with a red background which appears to be a conventional theme of real-life magazines. This contrasts again the bright blue background that is behind it to make it stand out more. Above this is where they have informed their audience about the prizes they can win. This will entice the audience to buy it even if they have no interest in the stories involved. If they have that chance of winning one time, they are likely to continue to buy it at the chance of winning again. This is more designed for the lower-class due to them using this as a way to get extra income.

The coverlines are dotted around the cover, however they have not covering the woman’s face to the right. They are all in bold, capitalised text to attract the audience to the stories so they would want to purchase the magazine to read the full story. The main coverlines they want their audience to focus on are in bold red text as this is a colour that stands out a lot, especially on a white or yellow background. Along side these, there are images related to each of the stories which vary from being in square borders or circular borders.

This magazine is likely aimed at women due to the coverline related to fashion in the bottom left, which is stereotypically something that women are interested in. This is also likely to be aimed at a lower-class audience as in the fashion section it says “from £10” which would be affordable for someone of that class. Whereas someone of a middle or upper-class could afford something a lot more expensive.
