Magforum.com says "Most readers are single and at university or working and living at home."
Mast Head: The mast head is incredibly bold; it's a very bright pink which is obviously women applicable, the change in colour helps it to really stand out, the white "M" is a very much an attention grabber, the font used is sleek as is recurrent in all the issues of more, themes are very important in magazines for example the colour scheme used in more! is very bright colours but still feminine(the pinks etc).
Selling lines: The box to the top left is very useful as it gives an insight
Cover lines: The cover line of this issue is very much evident that it shall be focused on stacey solomon, it's not quite as bold as the title but the use of different fonts i think is really effective, its slightly more right on the page which seems to be obvious in a lot of high end magazines. The use of a celebrity as the cover story is also quite important as "celebrities sell".
Main Image: The main image is of a well known celebrity; it's relevant to the main story and it's very striking, it's in your face and its bright and bold. It would stand out on a shelf because of how she stands out on her blue-y background. It is true that all cover models are completely "perfect" and airbrushed
Other images: The images that relate to the fashion pages are also quite bold and eye catching, the small pictures of the women at the top are particularly attractive; they are showcasing what shall be inside of the magazine. The other little images of clothes and shoes give you an idea of
General thoughts: The overall layout of the front page is quite cluttered and very busy; this is a reflection of the contents of the magazine so it is a good cover. I personally wouldn't have used so many colours and it is slightly over powering but at least it would catch your eye on a magazine stack.
