Lifestyle Magazines: direct address 200 words

That what I am using as I don't have a lifestyle magazine to hand.


The front cover of this magazine has many instances of direct address which are showing the reader what they should read because they want to become aware of what they are reading. Straight away at the top of the page it says "your new favourite jeans - find them on page 39" this is straight away telling the reader that they like the jeans when they haven't even seen them, this is an attempt to get the reader to look at the jeans decide if they want them or not then decide if their going to buy them. Again under the titles it says "your guide to gorgeous" this will attract people who are aspiring to be gorgeous and want fashion tips to look gorgeous. Towards the right side of the page theirs a title that talks about how some woman has a secret then it says it's not what you think this gets the audience guessing and wanting to read that article so if they haven't bought the magazine they might be temped to buy it. Their is a quiz question title towards the bottom of the page which readers might get interested about, question the self about and maybe even buy the magazine as result of said quiz title because people are really curious about the selfs others and celebrities in particular. Although it doesn't mention celebrities in that part from the front cover you can guess that there is bound to be information on celebs.
