Pop magazine covers





These magazines all have bright colours. 
They all focus on one person rather than groups.
The text is all in bold.
The main image is always the person the magazine is about.
















Baking:











Colour palette- Neutral colours where some link to the main image. They also use a lot of gold and red.

Main images- They show some of the most popular recipes and desserts shown within the magazine.

Typography- They use simple fonts as if hand-written and don't use many capital letters especially in the title.

Cover lines- They include other recipes shown in the magazine. hey also have a rough estimate of how many recipes are included in the magazine.

Target Audience- Young adults (20s to 30s) because of the colour palette and because all of the main images look professional and somewhat hard to recreate.
