GLAMOUR MAGAZINE ANALYSIS





The title of this magazine is ‘GLAMOUR’, which connotes that the magazine is quite girly and is aimed at teenage girls who are interested in their looks, and things like make up, clothes and hair. Most of the slogans and captions relate to how to look good and tips on ‘amazing hair’ and getting your ‘best body’. Again this connotes a very girly feel and could be perceived as superficial, but to the readers it is very helpful.
The colours used on this cover are very bright and eye catching so the magazine stands out against the others. The main colour which you notice immediately is pink, as it is used for the title and for a few of the slogans and captions. Other colours used are bright blue, orange and black. As the background is white, these colours stand out even more and connote a very fun feel, so the magazine looks appealing to read.
The font of the title is very bold and plain, but it’s very big as well, so it draws your attention straight to the name of the magazine. The rest of the writing on the cover matches the title font, but smaller and different colours. One other font is used for the name ‘Miley’, again to make it stand out. The font looks quite like calligraphy which looks a bit classier.
Some of the words used by the magazine including ‘amazing’, ‘best body’ and ‘sexiest’ have been chosen to make the potential reader think that this is the most important magazine and has the best advice to achieve a perfect body.
The word ‘Miley’ is emphasised as it is in a different font to the rest of the magazine because the biggest thing on the cover is a picture of Miley Cyrus, so she is obviously their main story, hence the reason why her name would be emphasised.
