Research and planning


I have chose to analyse Glamour magazine, a popular high street favourite! I am analysing this magazine to compare my Music magazine to and try to meet the high standards that need to be met.

The masthead of this magazine is always hidden behind an image or a price tag, as people know this title so well already.

Each magazine has a colour scheme, that continues through the magazine. The pink connotes a sense of femininity, which appeals to the target audience of women teenagers and adults.

This magazine is sold monthly, with the front page set out the same each time.

Each magazine has a popular celebrity icon on the front with a spread with questions on, in the middle of the magazine.
The month is usually published on the front of the magazine along with the web address and price.

Lots of colour is used in this magazine to grab the reader’s attention and to win against rival magazines sold on the high street. All of the coverlines are matching in with the titles colour scheme, which connotes that the magazine is not going to change and will appeal to the same audience all the way through, which makes the magazine easier to concentrate on. 

On the front cover of each magazine is the name of the celebrity with a sentence or a phrase on what the subject of the interview is about, this makes the reader more likely to want to read the article about the celebrity.

There are lots of facts and tips on the front of this magazine that the reader may want to read about and the use of a high figure with a pound sign at the front makes the audience for this magazine excited as they think they could be in for a chance to win this amount of money.

The use of shapes with words in on the front cover is helpful as they could be more important factors.
