Text- Firstly the mast head located in the top left corner is in a white, lower cased font. Located under the 'e' is the date of the magazine. The mast head for this magazine appears to have a shadow around the letters this makes it stand out against the models skin and light brown hair. The mast head is placed right over the image. The sell lines are in a white structured font which make it look well made and classy. The main sell line is in two different shades, the words 'Golden' and 'Girl' overlap slightly which makes it look artistic and it also ties in with the models appearance. The text underneath the main sell line however is in a black font which again contrasts with the model. The banner at the bottom of the page has a low opacity level therefore the image is still slightly visible even though the banner is set over the top. The writing to the right of the model is in the same shades as the main sell line which make them all look put together. The sticker at the top has 'Win!' in a bolder font which makes it stand out more than the rest of the text which contains less important information. The Wine and Dine section connotates being rich, upper class, very well put together and romance, which are all positive things which should perhaps play big part in fashion magazines.
Colour- The model is decorated with a gold slightly textured material so it make it look very artistic like the main sell line. The color gold makes the magazine look very grande and expensive looking, which is ironic as the magazine is free. The models skin tone is very well matched to the text of the word 'Girl' and the small banner on the right of the model. This all ties in well with the white colourd text as it compliments the gold and beige very well.
Model- The models appearance has been altered by the golf flakes however her pose is very intense therefore it doesn't overpower her. The image is a close up therefore all focus is on her face and the extensive makeup.
Other- The fact that the magazine is free is very well advertised therefore it is very clear to the reader. The positioning of the sticker introducing a competition is very well thought out considering is will be typically something that the reader will look at first. The banner at the bottom of the page is like a very simple and basic way of showing what is inside the magazine. The banner shows certain categories and they vary from fashion to motors therefore it may appeal to a number of different audiences.
Remember that you need to say what has inspired you for your own magazine as well - or indeed, if there is anything that you dislike hat you know to avoid.
