The image is very large, this attracts the customer. They can straight away realise who

the celebrity is and this is how it makes the sell. Customers are attracted by ether there roll

model or someone they admire such as a celebrity.

Masthead of magazine is very large and can be observed from

a far distance

The colours used can portray a mood of glamour. The image and

colours used for the magazine can straight away tell the audience if its a male or female magazine.

The image shows the customer the target reader for this magazine is a

female, also considering the puffs and cover lines. The magazine quotes a

puff saying “ get the love you deserve” “make more money and be the boss”

Tyra Banks is a good example for ladies as she is an independent strong women. People will also want to read

this magazine because of her very popular talk show the Tyra Bank show

The magazine has cover lines that may be very appealing to the

female readers as it has things they maybe concerned about or

had dealt with

As an overall impression I think the magazine wouldn't be that attractive and appealing

toward me, considering I am a male. I think the magazine is definitely eye catching because of the big fonts used. The direct mode of address

that is Tyra Banks is portrayed well as the image is very big. The colours used in the

magazine create a glamorous effect since it has a bit of gold and gloss around it.

The magazine can potentially attract male readers from the image displayed showing a beautiful women, but then

again its about the information provided in the magazine. Would it be useful to the

readers? What can readers gain out of this?

The magazine shows more things useful to female readers rather then male readers, this can be shown from the

puffs listen on the magazine
