9) Preliminary task Magazine Analysis

Media analysis magazines (Detail)

Masthead
The mast head is big, bold & clear showing the importance of the company’s name & making the masthead stand out and easy to read to the audience. For the masthead being so big, this is the first thing the audience eye would be drawn to. Also the colour of the masthead is pink showing us that the audience is female and also for a young audience of which the reader would look up to.

Image
The image on the magazine is a model of a woman, but not just nay woman but a woman who is recognises as Drew Barrymore. Her body language is rather confident, but also her smile makes her also look quiet cheeky but also could be took as quite seductive. Also the clothes that she is wearing is pink showing that this magazine is quite girly, therefore reflecting on there target audience. She is made up very well, not natural and her clothes are made of fur, this shows that she is rather wealthy, therefore reflecting on the, magazine as being glossy & wealthy.


Cover lines
The cover lines grab our attention, first about drew Barrymore, a real life story of a woman which the audience can relate to. Then things you can help & do go green. This even shows that everyone is trying to go green.

Third left
The third left tells us gossip & stories, which can draw us into the magazine. Also because some of the content is to do with sex this implies maybe this magazine is for an older audience, even if it does look very girly.

Main cover line
The main cover line is the ‘Real Woman Confess Their Sex Fantasies’. This draws us into the magazine because it is not the usual or sometimes even correct thing to speak about. Because the magazine company have gone over the line a little, this effect draws us even more in, wanting to know there sex secrets.

Model Credit
The model credit is ‘Drew, nearly single and talking about the guy she wants next.’ This draws us into the magazine because it is about someone famous and not the most common things that celebrity would tell magazines.
