1. Style:
The style of the magazine includes a limited range of colours that include that consist of
red, while and black. The black comes from Taylor Momsen’s clothes which makes her
stand out from the rest of the magazine. The colours used in this magazine give off a
exuberant atmosphere which suggests that it is aimed at a younger audience.
Images:
There is one main image on this cover and that is a mid shot of Taylor Momsen.
Appeal:
With the use of a young actress and vibrant colours I think that this magazine is
targeted at a younger audience of females.
Price:
$4.99

2. Style:
The Style of this magazine is also very youthful, the use of bright colours makes
the image on the front stand out from the background and writing. The dress
worn by Scarlett Johansson is dark compared to the background and and writing
so make that the focal point of the cover.
Images:
There is a mid shot of Scarlett Johansson in the middle of this cover which makes
her the main part of this magazine cover. . She is looking straight at the camera
which draws the attention of a reader.
Appeal:
With the use of a famous actress as the focal point of the cover the target market
would be anyone who is a fan of her work or just like how the image was taken
and put together.
Price:
£3.99
Style:
The style of this magazine is very neutral, with the use of pastel colours and just black
for the text and eye makeup. The black text makes the pastel colours stand out from
the cover and the pastel colours are featured in the clothing. This contrast makes Emma
Watson the focal point of this magazine cover.
Images:
There is a close up shot of Emma Watson as the main image on this magazine cover.
She is looking at the camera even though her head is tilted in another way. This draws
in the attention of the reader.
Appeal:
I think the target audience for this particular magazine would be females, mostly adults
because of limited colour use. Customers might just buy the magazine because Emma
Watson is on the cover.
Price:

3. Style:
The style of this magazine is very simple with the use of neutral and blue colours. I
think this is very effective because the blue text makes Jake Gyllenhaal, the main
image, stand out. If someone notices who is on the cover then they will more likely
pick it up and buy the magazine.
Images:
The main image on this front cover is a mid shot of Jake Gyllenhaal. He is looking
directly into the camera which helps to draw the attention of someone passing by.
Appeal:
By putting a well known actor on the front of the magazine, GQ has been able to
bring in new customers if they are fans of the actor on the cover. The neutral tones
would appeal to a more adult customer rather than young children.
