Looking at magazine layouts

These magazines are both aimed at different target audiences which is shown through the colour, fonts and images used. However, they share some similarities in the way they are layed out. Firstly, the title is shown in the top left hand corner of each magazine but is partly covered by the image. However, this is done because the magazines are well known and so the audience will know which magazine it is without having to read the full title. Across the top of both is a header which provides information about what the magazine contains. It effectively provides another way for the cover to provide information other than listing artciles beside the pictures; both are in different colours which ensures it will attract the audiences attention. Futhermore, both include circles containing information which attract the audiences attention as they are bold, obvious shapes:

The 'sneak' magazine includes an image of a celebrity in the bottom right hand corner which is a taster of the poster inside. This will show the audience exactly what the magazine contains, encouraging them to purchase it.
