Magazine Cover Idea

 

                              AS Media Magazine Front Cover Idea

Masthead- Boldest part of the magazine- stands out, draws attention to the audience as it is a well known magazine. Attract the customers and buyers of the magazine.

Main Image- Main image covers the whole of the magazine cover- regular buyers can see the main image straight away and judge whether to buy the magazine dependant on the main image. Well- known celebrity- people who like her may see the image and buy the magazine, even if they are not regular buyers.

Representations- 
 CLASS-  Middle: Model is wearing expensive clothing, expensive clothing being advertised in the magazine. Middle class people are more likely to wear expensive clothing rather than underclass ect.

 RACE/REGION/REGLIGION- Appeals to all.

 AGE- Mainly 20-30 year olds would buy this magazine- it is more for their age group and they can personally identify with the model as she is around their age group.

 SEXUALITY- Aimed at women- clothing, the model on the front cover, the cover lines appeal to women.

 HANDICAP- No handicap.

 EVENTS/ISSUES- Keeps the audience updated with the latest fashion trends,' 200+ key spring looks'. 'Fashion gets natural'.

Socio- Economic Group: A'S, B'S and maybe C'S- High end fashion magazine- advertising dear, glamorous clothes. Richer people are more likely to be prepared to pay dearer for clothes. Magazine is priced at £3.99- most people are not prepared to pay that much for a magazine.
