To get a better understanding of how to create a 'Take a Break' magazine', I have analysed and highlighted the generic format of the front cover of the magazine.
1- Feature: At the top of the magazine a Feature is always present. This feature allows the audience to know that within the magazine they could win up to £30,043 in prizes. Immediately attracting its audience for a 'real life' magazine.
2- Logo: The top left hand corner of the magazine front cover always includes the Logo of 'Take a Break'. The logo also states that the magazine is 'the real life mag' allowing audiences to know exactly what the magazine's contents will be.
3- Article: A preview of one of the Articles within the magazine, includes a picture to guide the narrative and has the same 'gossip' tone that is featured throughout the magazine
4- Image: An Image of a model who has no relevance to the magazine's content is always positioned on the right hand side of the front cover with text around and on top of the image.
5- Main Article: The main article is always located on the left hand side, in the middle of the front cover and is positioned over the model. Even though the style of text and images are similar to the other articles surrounding it, the boldness and large text indicates that this will be the magazine's main story.
6 + 7- The rest of the magazine's articles are at the bottom of the front cover. These stories are based on an unknown figure with an interesting or shocking story.
8 - This article includes the celebrity Katy Price, which is very rare for this type of magazine as it is a 'real life magazine'.
