Representation on magazine front covers

 

In the men's magazine the photo has been edited to show off the definition of his muscles. This is done by publishing the image in black and white. With the darkest shade you can see the contrast of how far his muscle is popping out. The lighter shades give the male a shine to him. The image is of a well known celebrity, who boxes for a living. This represents that all male should look like this, being really defined and toned. This is always repeated on this magazine. His body language is so he's side on towards the camera, with his facial expression looking stern and powerful with all his muscle, this is repeated because men aren't allowed to show emotion because they have to be dominant. "the bigger man". This magazine is aimed at men keeping in shape, "best body ever". It gives you tips and tricks that you'll only find in this magazine according to this front cover. The only colour on this front cover is the mast head of the magazine but also the really important information about helping out young people. The rest is all black and white. The language used works with the image, "the best body ever" reflects the image of Anthony Joshua with his best body.

On the women's magazine you once again have somebody famous on the front cover to you can be just like them, and know all about them. This front cover represents pink being associated with women, and that they should be focused on there appearance. Pink has been the colour for women for many years making it very traditional. The whole background, masthead, writing and even the models clothes are pink. This magazine is about women's health and how they can become more healthier by working out, but the model is wearing a woolly top, with big earrings and full face of makeup, nobody would wear this workout. She is wearing a full face of makeup, that's pink, with her hair done, blowing in the wind. This is repeated in all women's magazine.
