Media language:
There are many images, on this cover, which can suggest to the reader that the magazine would also be filled with many images, to make it look interesting and appealing.The 3 main images on the cover, are seen to be glamorous and slim- the issue that can arise through here is the size zero debate. However the appealing story here is the Hair of these females. They are represented as ‘know it alls’ of fashion. The fact that there are only two males can oppose the patriarchal society. The males are seen to be not attractive because of the issues surrounding them, such as High Grants issue with the prostitute and in eastenders the case with Little Moe and her rape case.The colour red is used a lot on the cover, this can connote passion, love or danger. It could suggest the magazine is dangerously filled with a lot of issues and articles.
