The colour that is mainly a Summer orange title which links with the fact of her wearing a dress which you would expect to see in Summer. the colour orange creates the idea of being optimistic and enthusiastic which could link to the magazine in being yourself and creative. The bright colours are highlighted over the fonts which would show the most importance and want to draw your attention to such as the title or subheadings. the evidence that can be shown that this magazine is a Summers magazine such as colour of font, colour of dress and dress itself for the target audience to start thinking about the feel of Summer.

This magazine colour is a hot and bright pink which you would expect the magazine target reader would be young women. the main colour like the title and some sub heading which is pink would be expected from young aged women because it shows young and fun genre. The secondary colour of the magazine is a bright neon turquoise suggesting this calm and relaxed feel to the magazine. there are key points in the magazine not only just on the font but on the model swell such as the lipstick and eye shadow trying to show key points using colour on the models face. 

This magazine is different to the others because it has a male model but still would have the target audience of a mixed gender. the colour is different being more included like the background of blue, this meaning a relaxed and peaceful and with a bright gold or yellow suggesting fun and entertaining which would draw the target audience being that it would be adding comedy or entertainment. Some of the colour which you would think to be highlighted over the font isn't but is covered in a line by the sides of the text. the facial expression of the model links with font colour with the model having this smug face linked by being funny.

Balance in Design

Balance in Design

Symmetrical(formal balance)


This magazine is symmetrical because of how the magazine front cover has been put together on the subject of how she is posed and the smoke beside her is perfect which can mean for her to be like a mirror line. The text beside her are all in different fonts and colours but are laid out equally. The position that the magazine is laid out in is symmetrical way from lettering to pose of model.





Asymmetrical (informal balance)

This magazine cover has an informal balance because the text is only covering one side of the magazine and Will Ferrell has one hand on the headphone showing more informal balance. The title font is shown as being out of this world which would link to the fact that he is dressed in a skin tight suit, having headphones with antennas on them.



Asymmetrical balance by shape

The magazine is asymmetrical by shape because her body posture is crooked and looks strange with her tattoos being different and not symmetrical. the title font shows that some of the capital letters and normal letters are different meaning that it can be asymmetrical.









Asymmetrical by position
His position of body is asymmetrical because he uses his hands to pull back on his collar in a suit giving this business and smart look. The pose of him pulling his collar would be the average pose when it,s getting hot or stressed.






Asymmetrical by texture
This photo is asymmetrical by texture because it is only directed at her body and nothing else so that your only focus is on her. She stares into the camera to show that she is directing herself at the target audience.







Asymmetrical by eye direction

This photo is asymmetrical by eye direction because she is directing her eyes,body and face away from the camera not directing any attention to the target audience.







Radial Balance

Introduction to Lifestyle Magazines

Introduction to lifestyle Magazines

1. Identify the different 'types' of content in the magazine 
the content is that mainly in women's magazines are mainly on the subjects of fashion, beauty and lifestyle which can brainwash women into what they have to be in becoming a model like they are in the magazine.

2. Describe the layout of the page. From your analysis what gender and type of person is this magazine for?

The layout of the page is in different sizes of each picture on how the most important photos such as the model or clothing is bigger meaning that you should concentrate on what is more important as shown by the magazine designer. The designers try to include contents of the page that are important like seeing someone who is not beautiful and meaning that this is what you could be like  if you don't use products like make up or attempt to make yourself look better. The text below or around the magazines in usually the front of the pages are texts of sentences like '10 ways to get happy' or 'what you'll be wearing next summer'. These sentences in the book are kinds of text that are forcing you to do what they making them have.

3. How would someone hope to benefit from buying this magazine.

they would probably benefit by having inside knowledge on what celebrities wear and what they do but this can never be true at times with lots of evidence to back the writers up. The magazines can usually be filled with gossip and rumors but can give them knowledge of other contents such as fashion, beauty, culture or relationships. Most of the text that is bold on the front cover, draws you in  and makes you apply what is told by the magazine writers and could benefit you with knowledge on those tips but as I have said, not all tips can be true.
