Magazine And Target Audiences: Analysis

Magazine And Target Audiences



Company one of the most popular women's life style magazines in the UK. there are many conventions on this magazine that most women's magazines will have, and these show the audience

How the magazine cover appeals to women by using the conventions of cover design. Firstly the theme colour they have use light pink, navy, white and gray which are all wintery colours because it is a november episode. Another thing is by having Fearne Cotten on the front cover, Fearne is a iconic young lady that many girls/young women look up to, as she has does many jobs presenter, radio DJ, designs her own clothes with very.com.

 Compared to other magazines she is not posing in a raunchy way which shows this magazine is aimed at girls that are not so interested in looking sexy but looking good instead and fashion. this may interest different types of women. Again fearne appeals to the younger generation/ young women because they can relate to her, she is not one of those celebrities that goes out and gets drunk and drugs really she has a good reputation so a good young lady for people to aspire to unlike some other celebs.
There are lot of other conventions in the magazine like the title behind her head that is just not on women's magazine that is just a normal conventions of every magazine. Price by advertising it in a button shape makes it stand out, so more women will by it because its cheap. The sub-titles also show what appeals to women's, as they will read the story inside. Nearly all women's magazines have some kind of sex story in it on this magazine it is 'Have sex, Look skinny' this is in caps in two different colours to make it stand out, as they maybe a popular story for people to read or that women could possibly be interested in and also in smaller writing underneath its says 'best. positions. ever' i think that there is full stops between the words because they think they know that they have the best information on this subject. 
 By including other celebrities in the magazine can attract a larger audience 'Justin Timberlake "i'm done with music"' this obviously isn't as important on the magazine as other things because it is put in small writing at the bottom, but again this can attracted justin Timberlake fans to read the magazine.
 '175 winter looks we love' is but in big bold caps writing, looks like a painted font, this is the main sub-title because it is the largest and straight alone the middle, this shows that the magazine is very in fashion like i said before and there target audience is going to be interested in that as women do like to read on the latest fashion, best bargains, greatest looks, what the Celebes are wearing, what looks best for the there body shape young women are all about fashion especially the type of audience that reads these magazines. By having real life stories in magazines are all ways interesting and gets lots of reads people women like to know what going on but are not always interested in the newspaper so if there is news and life stories in these there are interested. Class, i think the class that this magazine is aimed for is middle class young women form 16-35.
