Analysing Magazine Front Cover.

 

From looking at the front cover, I think the intended audience would be women between the ages of 20-30 years. I believe this because firstly, the font they have used is pink, which makes it more of a girly magazine. They have also added clothes and shoes onto the cover, showing that they will also be in the magazine, which would attract more female readers. You can tell that the main story of the cover is the Cheryl Cole story, as her close up picture takes up most of the page. They have also made her name much larger and bolder than the rest of the font, and also made it pink, so that it shows its importance and it also lets the audience know that she is the main focus. They have used an eyelevel shot, which makes the audience feel like they have a connection to her and makes them want to buy the magazine.

They have used a large bold font for her storyline, so that it attracts the reader’s eye and have also used capital letters to make everything seem more drastic. For example, ‘LAST MINUTE DECISION THAT WILL CHANGE HER LIFE!’ They do this, because it creates suspense and would attract the intended audience.

This cover also includes other stories, which will be included in the magazine. They do this so that the audience know more about what is in it. In this story they use words like ‘late-night’ and ‘hook-up’, which is very secretive and seductive and would make the readers want to purchase it.
