The title of the magazine is often in a white bold font with a block colour behind it Female cover star to the right of the name of the magazine, using direct mode of address and smiling with not much of body revealed Many stories on the page and shocking things for the audience to read Colour schemes such as red, white, pink, blue and yellow Prizes and rewards on the front page to encourage audience to buy the magazine However, ‘that’s life’ has a target audience of 25+, chat has an average audience of 43 and take a break have an audience of 25-54 year olds and many of these are mums. This suggests to me that I shouldn’t follow some of these codes and conventions as that will attract a higher target audience then intended as I have a target audience of 16-25 year olds. The stories may have to be adapted to the interests of my target audience, maybe with social media being a convention of my magazine as someone over 25 may not be interested in that as much as they are compared to other magazines that is made for people of that age. This suggests I need to do some research into people aged 16-25 to see why or why wouldn’t they read it and what changed need to be made. Change of topics eg. Fashion, gossip and beauty gossip and be more sensitive on topics so its not harmful Make more minimalistic and tidy Less bold colours, especially red and plainer toned down colours eg. Pale pink, grey, darker purple Female target audience and cover star Multiple stories on it but not looking messy overlapping Less unbelievable stories Clearer layout Less on babies and fiancés/ husbands Language suitable for my audience and language they may use Not puzzles and prizes and more social media giveaways Headline at the top of my magazine in the centre and the same font on every cover with a block colour behind it. Woman imposing headline in future editions, but for now just be slightly towards the right with a large story line to the left Other stories around the edge of the cover, like other magazines do If talking about celebrities, use one appropriate for my audience e.g. Don’t use Amanda Holden and use someone like Mabel for example
