The magazine is made for females and is more for females than males. The class for this magazine is set at 75% ABC1 and 39% of AB it is more for the higher class because the cost of the magazine is £3.50 and is a high amount of money for a magazine. Also they worked out that the average age range for this magazine is 30. They have worked out what the readers enjoy and how they think they look and how long they spend on their appearance, they worked out that:
•79% look after their appearance & image
•78% think it’s important to look well dressed
•More than twice as likely to spend a lot on clothes, compared to other women
•73% more likely to wear a valuable watch
So this is what they will add into the magazine if this is what they found out about their target audience readers.
InStyle magazine is a well-known magazine, in this magazine there are many adverts and selling products to promote them that all related to the style of the magazine, they do this because InStyle magazine sells thousands of copies a month and will have more chance of the readers looking at them. This magazine is aimed for females so the products that will be advertised will be products a female would buy, and by the facts they found out about their target audience they will add products that will look after their appearance because 79%of people do. The products I found that has been advertised in this magazine was perfume, Gucci watches, Chanel, D&G, makeup, hair products, clothes, cars, jewellery, shoes, face cream. These are products that females would mostly buy, all of the products are expensive brands they added this into this magazine because this magazine is for higher class people. Half of the magazine was added my adverts this is for my promotion and over 60% of the adverts were to do with branded perfume.
On the front cover of the magazine is has 2 main colours black and white they done this to make it look sophisticated and follow the class range of higher class, it makes it look professional and neat. They have made the title stand out by the background of it, they have kept the title white but the background of the title is sparkly black sequence which you would find on clothing, this shows it is to do with fashion and still makes the title stand out because the rest of the background if plain white. The title is covered by the image of the girls head but you can still work out the title because it is so well known. There is one mid shot image on the right hand side and she is also following the theme colour by wearing a white elegant dress with her hair up and looks very business-like with diamonds again this is following the class gender.
On the contents of the magazine they have the same lady and the same layout as the front page by having the image on the right hand side of the however her hair is done to show she is more relaxed and having fun. The colours on this page are red, black and white with the background still white. They have added a red colour to make it more colourful but not making it messy by adding too many colours and still give it the elegant professional look. The page numbers are on the left had side and are bigger and the information next to it to make the pages stand out.
Inside on a 2 page spread page they have an interview on Christina Aguilera about her starting to make music again and coming back into the charts. They have covered the whole two pages with the image and has left some information right at the bottom of the page, this is to make her stand out more than the information, she is posing on a bed writing down lyrics, this shows she is into her music and gives it a sexy side to make it interesting. They have made the quotes bigger what they want to stand out what she says such as “I love music” this is to make the readers see what she loves about it and what she has planned.
