contrasting magazine covers







The two magazine cover are contrasting because one of them is aimed at males and the other is aimed at females. The magazine cover on the right is aimed at women and men both. it is aimed at women because it has things to do with fashion and beauty. If a women was to read the word fashion on a magazine then they would pick it up because they would want to keep up with the fashion trend and want to know stories and would want to know more about their favouirte charater/singer etc. Women also love gossiping and by lookin at the front cover of the magazine it looks like it contains alot of gossip of different/interesting things.
It is also aimed at men because of the pretty/attention seeking picture on the front cover which would make men think that it has more pictures of good looking and probably women with clevage in the magazine. Men might also buy this magazine because if they want to get something for a girl and are really stuck for ideas then they could look in the magazine and get some ideas on what to get for girls as it has got things to do with fashion.
This magazine would be targeted at young males about 20+
The magazine on the right is again aimed at men and women. Firstly it is aimed at men because the guy at the front is a well known singer Usher, and so guys that are fans of Usher would pick this magazine to read and fins out more about their favourite singer. Also on the magazine it say 'Usher, the king is back', which makes us as an audience think that Usher has bought something new is going to share some information with us.
it is aimed at women because it is Usher's picture on the front cover and so girls that like Usher and his songs would also want to read this magazine. Also the picture on the front cover is a male so females would be more interested in the magazine then males.
this magazine would be targeted at young children prefreably teenagers because Usher is well known in this target audience.
