The magazine mizz (course work magazine 2)

‘Mizz’ which is the masthead of the magazine makes it obvious that it is for girls because it is another way of saying miss. The title also denotes that it is uncomplicated and plain. However the colour scheme pink makes it obvious that this magazine is aims at girls, it also stereotypes girls using colours like pink and putting popular girls on the front cover which is the main image. The colour pink connotes innocent, feminine and bright. This implies that it is suitable for certain young people, starting from the age of 12. The font is bold with various theme fonts which make it look fancy; it’s like a funky/girly font. In addition the main image is a close up which is zoomed into Leona Lewis’s face, nevertheless her skin seems to be smooth and pure, and this would probably be photomontage’s help which gives a stunning look!

 Leona Lewis’s lips are pink as well, she nearly camouflages in the magazine, and everything is pink which maybe makes it seem repetitive. Leona Lewis is many girls dream to be like her, her face in the main image persuades the audience because they see their favorite celebrity on the front cover. Furthermore the target audience is aimed at the age of 12 to 20, this magazine is appropriate for young children because it does not include partially nude young woman in erotic poses. The layout of this magazine is clearly not decorated enough, with the colour white and mainly pink surrounding the whole cover! The main image is behind the texts, it seems like Leona Lewis is hiding at the background.  

The magazine does not say much and hasn't got enough information, not much text written. The language of the magazine is however straightforward that it is unintelligent, but on the other hand it doesn't distract the audience which Leona Lewis stands out immediately. This magazine is aimed at woman C2DE which means that this magazine is for people that are less capable you read. The word ‘exclusive!’ reinforces that this is the only magazine that overs the story and that no other magazine does! The strap line ‘real life shocker’ suggests that this magazine includes real life stories as well, which persuades the audience and increases the level of interest to buy this magazine. The main sell line ‘the biggest fortnightly girl’s mag!’ implies that this magazine is up every two weeks in different major shocks and surprises. The work ‘BIGGEST’ gives an expensive and powerful view.

The price of the magazine is £2.10, girls are willing to buy this magazine and that they are interested in famous men! Magazines like for example heat are normally like 80p but still has enough information, maybe it can be about the quality, the way it is designed or the way it is organized. The word ‘Revealed’ would leave questions on the audience’s minds and it would make the audience feel curious what is to be revealed (admitted). The word ‘shocker’ looks like an onomatopoeia flashing out, it looks like it’s something really important, to find out buy this magazine! The magazine uses direct mode of address by Leona Lewis trying to do eye contact with you, the main image it directly looking at the audience. The secondary image of Zefron blows the females mind around, because of this beauty and his characteristics, he is many girls fans, which he is purposely put on the cover to tell the audience that this image might be small but the information written inside is a story about him (revealed). Fashion is one of the most common things girls love and are interested in; it also makes it look very fancy and gives a stylish look.
