Comparison of two front covers

Comparison of two Front Covers

How do the two magazines attract their target audience?

Grazia is a female fashion magazine so its intended audience will be women who are interested in the latest fashion, it also includes celebrity gossip so for women who are interested in fashion and celebrity lifestyles this would be a must buy, the age range would be a young female probably ranging from 17-18 to about 30 because younger women are naturally more up to date with the latest fashions and the celebrity gossip. There is what looks to be a snap shot of Kate Moss who is a huge fashion icon for women and does make up adverts, so most young women will know who she is and if they see her on the front of the Grazia cover then they will want to read more about her “night of hell” as it says on the front and find out if she’s ok or not. The font for Grazia looks sleek and classy so women will like it because they’ll want to buy the newest classy looking fashions and want to wear them to look good.

NME is a music magazine so it’s only real target audience would be a person, any gender who is interested in music. Naturally younger people would be more inclined to buy this magazine because it’s modern up to date music. The Wombats are the centre of attention on the front cover so if you are interested in their music then you will be more inclined to buy NME. The Wombats also look like they are posing for a photo but are not just posing for a normal photo; they look like they are trying to act more natural than a set up pose in this image. The font of NME is bold and always the same so people will always recognise it when they see it, if they buy it regularly then they will become familiar with the brand identity.
