"LOOK" is a popular, weekly magazine aimed at females interested in fashion and celebrities aged 15+

The masthead "LOOK" is in large pink writing which relates it to females. It stands out from the fading blue background so the reader can easily see it. It is a short and catchy name which can be easily remembered by the reader so they are more likely to buy it again. The masthead is partly covered by the image of Cheryl Cole. This does not affect it as it is a pooular and easily identified by the audience.

The main image is of Cheryl Cole, this automatically tells the audience that she is the main feature of the magazine. The image is nearly as large as the entie cover so this provides part of the background.

The main heading is directly next to the image of Cheryl and this overlaps the image, but doenst cover her so we can still identify who she is. This shows the audience that this is the main feature in the magazine. It is shown in bright pink letters, the same as the masthead, which links the heading straight in with the magazine. Underneathe the main heading there is a subheading, "The truth about Me and Ashley", this reveals to the audience the story behind the main feature and gives them basic insight into what is going on in Cheryls life.

Above the masthead there is a strapline which gives us another insight into the the contents of the magazine. This time involving Lily Allen. There is a small image next to the strapline which shows the audience who the article is about before even reading the information presented.

Down the right hand side of the magazine there are plugs which contain more features that are included inside the magazine. These however are less important than the main feature but they still provide information that will attract the attention of the audience. There are images presented in these plugs to quickly show the audience the basic knowledge they need to understand what the feature is about.

There is a particular feature that says "Catwalk to Highstreet frock fest", this revelase to the audience that there are many styles that are straight off the catwalk appearing in highstreet stores. This magazine will show the audience what styles of dresses are the latest fashions and where on the high street they can be purchased from.
