Analysis of a female orientated magazine

Female Orientated Magazine




A female orientated magazine such as the one above is designed to be specifically for the female audience. Potential viewers will realise that this is a female's magazine without reading any of the text due to the feminine colours used on the front cover. The colours on the main image match the colours of the background and text, which means there is a colour scheme for this edition of the magazine. The main image is of a young actress, which means the younger audience can relate to the main image and will want to read and discover what the actress has said within the magazine.  The main image is showing the actress in a attractive pose, which has been used to make the readers want try and be like the actress as she is nicely dressed and is a role model for young girls aspiring to be like her. The main cover line states 'Flatten Your Belly', this text has been purposely typed in a thin and attractive font to suggest that women should follow what the magazine says and achieve a flat belly. The majority of the cover lines are very plain as the main image is the item that attracts the reader, the cover lines simply inform the reader of what is in the magazine after they have viewed the main image. Although, the cover lines that are most likely to attract readers are typed in a bold font as these are the most interesting cover lines for potential readers to read. One of the cover lines that says 'Your orgasm guaranteed', has been typed in white font, however it has been placed on a pink slanted box, made almost to look like the smudge of lipstick; This links back to the theme of the magazine and the young actress featured in the main image.
