Magazine deconstruction

This is a successful magazine, as it appeals to their target audience, is between 14-18. The main image is a prevalent image, as it fills up the magazine front cover and is what the reader will see first. The image is a mid shot of the hot teenage icon Justin Bieber who has a worldwide fan base, of usually the younger generation. Also there are young male singers and popular boybands on the front cover, as well as what to wear for the summer and a summary of what is inside this magazine going across the masthead 'Gossip. Fashion. Boys' telling us that its main target audience are female.

In this image the star is looking directly in the camera, adding a personal touch and is as though he is looking directly at you, which will hugly have a big effect on the young females readers. This magazine is cluttered with several other pictures and stories, telling you what is inside. This will have a positive effect on the reader as it lets them know that ther have brought a magazine worth their money, as it also shows that it contains 10 posters 'Even hotter than last month' showing five of the celebrities, who include Zayn Malik and Jessie J. This sums up and confirms that it's target audience is teenage girls.

The three main colours in this magazine are white, pink and blue. The fact that the background is white is good because it really makes the text stand out and clear to read and allows the reader to be particuly drawn to the text on the magazine, making them want to read more of what is inside.
