Task 2 Lifestyle Magazine


Task 2
Why does the magazine use a model or celebrity on the cover? Why are they looking directly at 
the camera? Explain the effeiuct on the target audience?

Often there is a model or celebrity on the cover of magazines because the buyer would like to be like the person on the front, (even though it’s all photoshopped) and the reader believes that if they get the magazine they will potentially end up looking like the girl on the front. The effect of the person on the front visioning in towards the centre causes it to catch the readers eye.



Find examples of direct mode of address in the above magazine. Why is this used? What effect does it have on the target audience?

Introduction to Lifestyle Magazine

Different types of content in magazine:
Fashion,
Beauty,
Gossip,
Interviews,
Fitness,

Layout and target audience:
The page has pictures at the top and contents at the bottom, the pictures are split into multiple different images. The contents is set out into different types, fashion, beauty etc... I think the magazine is designed for female  fashion followers, because one of the pictures shows a women in fashionable clothing, posing as if she was showing off the dress.

Benefit from buying it:
If someone were to buy it, it would benefit them by showing them what to wear and what clothes are in fashion now days. It would also spread gossip around of celebrity life styles, and also it would show how to stay healthy and what to do when your at t the gym.
