I have chosen these two contrasting magazines to show which has a bigger effect on the reader and why.
'Seventeen' magazine draws the reader in straight away, the use of colour, fonts, interesting sub-headings and the main image being a celebrity immediately makes us accustomed to the cover. I think colour has a huge effect on magazine covers, we see things better in colour and easier to understand/relate to. 'Seventeen' uses puffs and block sans fonts, it is crowded but this allows the reader to stop and read these headings then decide whether to purchase the magazine. 'Newsweek' on the other hand has a less appealing front, it merely has the title and two boring sub-headings. Also the main image is not a very famous person, readers would rather read about someone they know. Unlike 'Seventeen' its not very relatable. Its a magazine you wouldn't stop and flick through the pages at. There isn't much to go on, the fonts used are basic block sans. Very plain, A person who would want to read this magazine would be very plain and subdued, on the other hand a 'Seventeen' reader would be fun, outgoing and trendy.
