Textual Analysis of Three Magazine Front Covers

I am going to look at three magazine front covers, the first one is,
Heat Magazine.
On this magazine there is a plug right at the top of the magazine which in bold black font and also in capital letters reads 'Scandal' this is going to get the audience's attention as they will be interested to know what this 'scandal' is. There are another two different coloured fonts in this plug. White and yellow. The words which are written in yellow are seen as the words which will catch the readers attention. The plug reads 'Gav spends the night with Charlotte's friend!' The words 'Gav' and 'Charlotte's friend' are written in bold yellow font, these words will catch the readers eye and make them want to read the article about Gav and Charlotte's friend. The rest of the plug is written in a white font. The full plug is in capital letters. Another target audience for this article is any fans of Charlotte Church or Gavin Henderson. Underneath this plug is a picture of Charlotte Church and Gavin Henderson.
Also underneath the plug is a strapline which is in bold black font. Underneath the strapline is the date the magazine was published and the price of the magazine.
The title of the magazine is underneath both the strapline and the date and price. The title is in bold red font with a black outline and reads 'Heat'.
Underneath the headline in a box with a black background and in white bold font is a sentence which reads 'Doctors chilling preditation for shrinking star...'. This is going to make the reader interested in what the doctors preditition is and how the shrinking star actually is. Underneath this sentence is the main headline which is bold red font and reads 'Posh's bones could be brittle and her body in pain-' then in a bold black font the words 'this is really serious'. The word really is underlined. This has been done to emphaised the fact that Posh's bones being brittle is serious and could cause her pain. Next to the main headline is the main photo. Which is a photo of Victoria Beckham posing for the camera. The target audience for this article is anyone who is a fan of Victoria Beckham and also anyone who reads gossip magazines each week.
In the main photo of Victoria Beckham is the barcode for the magazine and the issue number.
There is another plug at the bottom of the magazine which is promoting a new magazine. The plug is in yellow bold font which reads 'Free inside' this is going to catch anyone's eye because most people like a freebie. Then underneath the words 'Free inside' is another sentence which is in a smaller white font and reads 'The brand new magazine everyone's talking about!'
The target audience for this magazine is going to teenage girls and also boys. Or anyone who likes to read celebrity gossip magazines. And also any fans of the people mentioned on the front cover of this magazine.
