This magazine is aimed towards the unconventional woman who has a interest in tattoos. This magazine is different to the others because it targets a more specific audience where as the others cover a more wider conventional audience because the majority of female readers are more likely to read a magazine about clothes, music and lifestyle than a magazine about tattoos. The colors used in this magazine are subtle and not to strong on the eyes. This magazine can also appeal to male readers who like to view images of tattooed females, where as the other magazines may not appeal to the male reader. 



 
 The magazine "American Girl" is aimed at the younger generation of females as shown by the young girl on the front. It shows a happy young girl and would appeal to a younger audience also because the title is "American Girl" it is targeted more at the young female living in America so the audience is more specific. The use of bright colors appeal to the eye and the text describing "The latest new hairstyles" attract women or young girls in who have a interest in their looks and fashion which is what this certain magazine is about. It is a more stereotypical magazine than inked because it appeals to a larger audience.



This magazine is a popular magazine for girls with a interest in fashion and appeals to a even larger audience than both of the two previous magazines because it has no specific audience such as tattoos or American Girls. All women like fashion so this magazine is more popular. The attractive image of a woman on the front appeals to women showing that this magazine is high fashion, you can also tell this from the dull and unorthodox colors used showing that is not generic.



 Vogue is one the biggest retailers in magazine it has a large audience and appeals to girls with a interest high fashion so it has some similarities with the magazine above "V". You can see this from the rather unorthodox colors used and the attractive female on the front wearing rather fashionable clothes. Woman will see this cover and want to know how to attain the same look as the woman depicted on the front. This is what aspires them to read the magazine. The sub text saying "Survival Mode" is different and slightly confusing it will make female readers wish to know what is meant by the phrase so it will encourage them to read the magazine to find out.


The magazine "GL" shows a celebrity on the front "Selena Gomes" which means that any major fans of this celebrity will wish to read this magazine. It is one of the more generic magazines rather than ink or the large fashion magazine such as Vogue or V. It has similarities with the magazine "American Girl" because it used the same bright colors and depicts a younger smiling teenager on the front. The  magazine has a sub text saying " 382 ways to look fab for all" the fact it says " for all " shows that this magazines target audience is much larger than the other four magazines. It also used the same bright colors as "American Girl" using pinks, purples,yellows and white to appeal to the consumers eye.
