Fabulous!

Magazines

Fabulous! magazine comes free with The Suns's Sunday newspaper.
I think it's target audience is based on gender and is aimed at women. This is mainly because the sell lines indicate that the stories inside are about how to look good, celebrity gossip and men. These are things that stereotypical women would be more interested in. 

It is mostly about fashion, showing them on how to interpret celebrity fashion at a cheaper prices.
They also have interviews with certain celebrities etc.

The masthead (title) stands out clearly against the background so it's easy to identify in a shop or news agent's. This magazine doesn't have a logo or a covermount, which could be because it is free.

There isn't a skyline, but the main image is very eye catching.The main image is of the celebrity featured in the main article of the issue and the anchorage title, 'In the mix'. It also overlaps the masthead.

The cover contains sell lines such as, 'Geek to Gazillionaire, the men worth investing in', and 'Suck it up, drink yourself slim and sexy'. This entices the reader and makes them want to read it.

There are many advertisements throughout the magazine suitable for it's target audience, such as: Skin cream, Fabric softener, Mineral water, Kitchen roll, clothes, Thorpe park family deals and Cif cleaner.

A lot of these advertsisements are from big name brands and shops like JJB sports, Olay, Boots, HMV and Cif. I think that only the bigger brands can afford the publicity in Fabulous! magazine because it's a free magazine.
