GCSE media assignment review of magazine front page
My magazine cover is from the woman's magazine ''Now'' . This magazine cover first caught my attention by the big £1 and the awful picture of Victoria Beckham. Normally she looks perfect with not a hair out of place , however in this picture it looks like the queen of fashions crown is starting to slip away . I don't normally read this type of magazine but I thought it would be interesting to examine the differences between a men's magazine and a woman's magazine . ( The truth is that it is an excuse to have a close look at a woman's magazine and what an excuse it is ).'' Now '' magazine ( I am told ) is full of celebrity gossip , fashion tips , news about the celebrity world and ideas on how to lose weight and how to please your man. I found the choice of topics both amusing and interesting, because they are both so very different than the issues explored in men's magazines. For example in men's magazines it generally discusses what's happening in sport and pictures of very god looking woman on the front of the magazine to entice the reader and it doesn't have articles on how to get your perfect lady unlike in woman magazines it has articles on how to get your perfect man.
The front cover of the ''Now'' magazine is dominated by pictures of celebrities. In the top left hand corner in a bright yellow colour you have £1. This is to try and persuade the buyer that it is a really good price and ''Now only'' in white writing just emphasises that it is an affordable price. It's also in a pink background to keep its girly theme, also for the florescent yellow to stand out more . There is also a slogan which states that ''Now'' is the '' UK's best selling celebrity magazine. '' The company puts this across as if more or less every celebrity buy this magazine. Then underneath the slogan you have the name of the magazine '' Now'' This is also very clever title because it comes across as they have the most up to date gossip about the celebrity world and fashion tips. The name of the magazine is in dark blue writing and in a white background to stand out. Then in the top right hand corner there is a picture of Fran Cosgrave and Natasha this is important because they have been reunited as a couple and it looks like ''Now'' have got the scoop . The picture has a pink outline to stand out and come across as feminine . Also in a very vibrant yellow writing ''Natasha and Fran '' and also in a pink rectangle there is big white writing saying ''Reunited ''
