Q. Explain how each of the following is used in the extract to create effect on the reader:
A. Layout
B. Typography
C. Colour
D. Language
A. The layout in the magazine cover is used well having the coverlines spread out and the model using all the spacing and the most important coverline over the top of the model to show that the coverline is the one they want you to read first.
B. The writing on the magazines coverline has a different font to the masthead. The coverlines are also different to each other because some have different colours to the other and although most of the fonts are the same, some have thin writing and some have bold writing.
C. The colour on this magazine stands out because the background is a light grayish colour and the font used is black and the masthead is pink, a completely diffrent colour.
D. The language used on the magazine is informal because it is being written to many people that don't speak formal. An example would be "Summers Here"! This informal because of the exlamation mark and the way its saying summers here in such a quick way. Formal language would be longer and maybe say "Summer is in its time".

The magazine that we are focussing on at the moment is a middle aged womens magazine called easy living. The title tells that the magazine is how to live in a easier way then the one they are living now. People are refereed to the magazine by food, clothes, health and looking good. The magazine directs women on how to be the best looking woman that they can be. It tells them what dresses are in and what ones to wear. It tells women what they should eat so that they can fit into the cloths. The magazine is basically a guide to women on directing them on how to be better then they already are. A stereotype for the magazine is how women are not as smart when they dont read the magazine. How they have to read the magazine to understand everything else more.
