1. Heading
The name of the
magazine is very
eye-catching due to
the contrast of the
bold red square to
the light white
letter. It will grab
the attention of the
reader straight
away as it’s very big.
The use of a letter
for the name will
appeal to audiences
as it makes it more
memorable.

2. Main Image
The main image has a big
impact on the reader as it’s
quite different to other
cover images. The pose
used is very seductive and
will appeal more to male
audiences or big fans of
Cheryl. Bright red lipstick
has intentionally been used
to draw the reader’s
attention to her lips
emphasising the
seductiveness of the image.
The water dripping over her
like rain will appeal to
audiences as this is
something different and
creative about a cover
image. It’s also used to
make Cheryl look more sexy.

3. Main story
The main story is very eye-
catching due to the use of
the colour scheme and the
size of the text. The text
has been shaped like a
pyramid so that the words
get bigger towards the
bottom, this would grab the
reader’s attention as they’ll
notice the image then the
words underneath it. The
use of red and white makes
the words stand out against
the black of Cheryl’s hair
and clothes grabbing the
reader’s attention even
more.

4. Colour Scheme
The colour scheme of
red, black and white is very
effective as it makes the
magazine look more
professional. Many other
magazines use this colour
scheme so it would appeal
to the target audience as
it’s something
familiar, which through my
research I found most
people like. The colours red
and black are also colours
associated with sexiness
and seductiveness so this
relates to the image and
gives the magazine a more
seductive look altogether.

5. Stories
The stories have been
strategically placed around
the side of the front cover
so as to not overlap the
main image too much. The
use of the colours red and
white from the colour
scheme make the stories
stand out against the dark
background. The fact that
different text sizes have
been used for the story on
the right side makes the
magazine and the story look
more exciting and
interesting.
