make the target audience more likely to
buy it
Photography
they have included a picture of Chris Pratt
who plays a leading role in gradians of the
galaxy
Text/picture ratio
Compared to little white lies the amount
of writing on the over is a lot more. This
shows that whilst magazines talk about
the same topics, they are able to stand
out by having a different style. Some
movie fans will enjoy this type of
magazine more enjoyable to read, whilst
others prefer ”little white lies'" style

The font on the cover are mostly bold.
This makes the writing easier to read and
draws more attention. Some of the text

Audience appeal
The target market for this
magazine are vegans.
This cover appeals to its target
audience as it displays a photo of
healthy looking food. The food
looks appealing and so the
audience would find this
appealing.
They used color to make the
magazine look good and eye
catching, one thing they did was
they made some of the font and
blobs green to match the avocado
in the dish.
Because the audience is mainly
older people they have made
some coverlines bold such as
under pressure, which many older
people face and as a result the will
relate and want to pick it up.
the photo on the cover has been
taken on table with good lighting.
The reason why it wasn’t taken in a
studio is because it doesn’t fit with
their branding to do so. This
magazine targets the
working/middle class and include
simple recipes that they can follow.
By taking simple photo makes the
audience relate to the image. If it
was taken in a studio it would look
too professional and as a result
intimidate the target market
This magazine also include
some article mainly to do with
healthy living. This fts the brand
well because the target market
are vegans meaning that they
have actively made a choice to
be vegan and so will be
interested in the healthy
lifestyle.
