Revision

Analysis of a magazine cover

The target audience for this magazine cover would be females, teenagers and young adults. The magazine makes many assumptions about their audience, e.g."The brand new magazine everyone's talking about" and they also make assumptions about celebrities which may not always be true... This is an effective way to pull the audience in as the audience should want to hear about celebrity gossip.

The main topic for this magazine is Posh, and she is positioned at the side, but still stands out. She is standing over the title, but the description about her is infront, showing this is the main headline. All the other headings have a colour background, which still makes them stand out. This is where you would usually look after reading the main headline situated in the middle.

This magazine could represent class, as celebrities are famous and normally above everyday people. Sometimes teenagers aspire to be like a celebrity and that is why they would buy this type of magazine. The audience is generally dominated by what the magazine says, as they wouldn't know whether the story is true or not and would therefore believe it.
