3. Differences within the front cover The two covers differ in audience readers, as my own magazine is to do with college lifestyle and has a student as its from cover model, whereas the ‘Red’ magazine is more celebrity based and has celebrities as its front cover model. The use of different colours was also used to attract all types of readers, wit any gender and age. Both magazines used different colours too as they both have different target audiences. I have used a male student for my front cover shot which is also a medium close up. He is there to show a representation of the college. However the other magazine is more style based so it has a long shot to show the whole image of the two celebrities which represent the ‘Red’ celebrity lifestyle.
