Analysis of the red magazine.
The purpose of the magazine is to persaude the reader to buy it and inform them about fashion, shopping, beauty, homes and travel.
The masthead is the largest font against a red background as it is called Red, the connotations of red is sexiness and it stands out because it's in a large red box in the top left hand corner.
The puff of red magazine is "for the best things in life" and this suggest that if you read the magazine you would have a better life, and this is put right under the masthead so the second thing your eyes would be drawn to is the puff.
The image on the magazineis of Naomi Watts, its a big medium shot of her looking relaxed, she also stands out because shes wearing blue that matches her eye colour. The connotations of blue are calm and relaxation. Shes a middle aged woman around her early 30's and this would emphasise that the audience is aimed for are middle aged woman.
The coverlines for the image is different to the other coverlines as the font is different. This shows that this is the feature article. All the other coverlines are of the same font but of different sizes and colours. There are two straplines which have the title being called red, "red living" and "red wine club" and these are associated with the puff and the masthead, they are also in pink and pink is usually associated with love. All the strapilines that are written in pink could mean love living love fashion etc.
The fact that one of the straplines is "spring fashion looks" would also go with the image as Naomi is dressed in a very glamourous sparkling blue dress.
The pug is on the right hand corner and stands out as it tells the reader that page to turn to in order to take place in the competition to havea chance of winning none of the other straplines say what page to turn to making it unique.
under the pug the date, price and website is placed so the reader an see it as it is the smallest font on the magazine and is the least important.
on the whole the magazine would sell because at the bottom it sums up what the magazine is about.
