Women’s Health Magazine
In 2005, the publishing company Rodale decided to make a sister version of Men’s Health
magazine and produce Women’s Health magazine. This magazine was produced so the
audience felt ‘like they are getting advice from an honest and trusted friend’

From this, they have focused the magazine on health, nutrition, fitness, sex and lifestyle. There
are numerous different models and celebrities. In the magazine I am looking at, they have used
the famous philanthropist, Katie Piper, who was attacked in 2005 by her ex-boyfriend. He
purposely threw acid on to her face causing major damage and blindness in one of her eyes.
This meant having several operations.
I believe what influenced them was women who read this magazine and was able to relate to it.
As this magazine has a lot of subjects, it means women can be healthy, eat well, go to the gym,
maintain a sexual relationship and stay stylish and feel better for themselves. There were many
disastrous issues going on in October 2018, however one thing I found relating to this magazine
piece was about the vegan junk food issue. At the bottom of the cover, the words ‘The Truth
About Vegan Junk Food’ in capitals showing there is a big issue on this. From research there are
many articles but nothing serious enough to impact the magazine or to change their content.
After, reading an article on vegan junk food, I have found ‘63% were females’ and ‘almost were
in the 15-34 category.’
Dan Hancox. (2018). The unstoppable rise of veganism: how a fringe movement went
mainstream. Available: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/apr/01/vegans-are-
coming-millennials-health-climate-change-animal-welfare. Last accessed 10/01/18.
This could be the issues that Women’s Health magazine were going to highlight.
Women’s Health is the clear masthead of this magazine. It is written in a large font size and is in
bold writing. The masthead doesn’t change on every magazine cover and is written in the same
format in a red colour. Here the image is overlapping with each other, this is because the
audience for the magazine would be a frequent buyer or reader so they would know straight
away. Also, the masthead is in the centre of the cover and is from edge to edge. Lastly, the
issue date is written under the masthead, on the right side of the magazine and is extremely
small because it isn’t a vital part of the design and is more formal. I believe they have made the
date and price text small as it isn’t a vital part of the design.
The main image on this Women’s Health magazine is Katie Piper who is standing with her hip
out to show off her body. This is a mid-shot to show off her figure. As the magazine is about
2
women’s health, Katie Piper is wearing a grey sports bra and red underwear. The colour
connotation for grey is neutral and balance showing tranquility and is comfortable. For the
colour red, it connotes to strength and passion. The red underwear is showing confidence and
is perceived to be more sexually appealing than they are when wearing other colours. Also, the
background of the magazine is white which is even more eye catching and grabs the audience’s
attention immediately. The image is in direct mode of address where Katie Piper is looking
straight at the reader, the direct gaze helps interact with the audience.
All the cover lines are in bold in either black or red coloured text. The selling line at the top of
the magazine is advertising ‘automated orgasms’. This magazine will then be interesting for
those women that cannot orgasm as they will learn something from it to make their sex life
more fun.
The pug is telling the audience that this issue is about nutrition. The cover lines are possibly
linked to Katie Piper’s injuries. Her cover line is ‘how fitness helped me reclaim my body’ which
I’m guessing this could be a while after her accident. Another of the cover lines is ‘the anti-
depression diet decoded’ which I’m sure Piper went into depression afterwards. They have also
used Piper as she has a good figure and the person on the magazine must be a better version of
the reader but not so much further that they are unachievable.
