Text-First of all the well known mast head is presented with a decreased opacity level to allow the model to some what still be exposed, the mast head is placed strapped across the top of the page in a very large yet iconic font, which is the usual for ELLE magazine. The main sell line is present in a very thin structured font, this is also another way of preventing to cover up the model. The other sell line however located onto the right of the model is in a bolder font, this may be because it isn't overlapping the image. The sell line is very short and makes the reader want to read on.
Colour- The color of the background is a very calming and tranquil shade, which makes the reader feel relaxed which is similar to how the model is appearing. The use of the bright background means that the black and white coloured text stands out in contrast to it. The models clothing is an extension of the background, the background been a blue/teal shade where as the model is wearing a very light washed out blue color, this again compliments the chosen background color.
Model- The model being David Beckham who is extremely famous therefore makes the magazine appeal more to women as he for some people may be a bit of eye candy. The model appearance not only makes him look relaxed and laid back he is also making eye contact which makes the ready connect more. The main sell line uses only his second name which is also a symbol for his past profession which is football, where his uniform only had his last name on the back. By doing this is creates a less formal feel about the magazine.
Other- The barcode is located on the bottom of the page which means it is typically one of the last things the reader will look at as a person typically read left to right top to bottom. The price and date is located under the mast head to the right hand side, this placement means that after confirming the magazine name the reader will then see when the magazine is from and how much it was.
I will use the layout and different font size as inspiration when creating my magazine as I like how is creates a dynamic feel and make it look more artistic.
