The magazine cover that i have chosen is Manchester United Football Clubs best player Wayne Rooney and the ex Manchester United best player David Beckham. I think that the target audience for this particular magazine cover would keen, male Manchester United supporters who want to keep updated on the clubs news and more. I also think that the age of the magazines target audience would be people in their twenties (give or take a few years), they would also most probably be middle class people. By having two of the best and most well known football players in the world on the front cover of the magazine, people are more likely to pick up and buy the magazine.
Due to the strong and immediate eye grabbing colors on the magazine it not only stands out on the shelf, but people will quickly realize the colors and associate them with Manchester United Football Club. Also, the Manchester United logo is in a large size in the top right hand corner which makes the football team very prominent. Also, the color white on the red background stands out well and produces a clear few lines for the reader.
The images of both Wayne Rooney and David Beckham gave been placed carefully and with great thought by the magazine designer. The way the designer has placed the pictures is very clever as although the two pictures are roughly of the same size, Wayne Rooney has been placed in front of the once amazing Manchester United player David Beckham. This subtle positioning of the images portrays to the reader that Rooney has now taken Beckham's place and overtaken his abilities. Also, another reason that Rooney has been placed in front of Beckham (who is playing for Milan) could mean that Manchester United beat Milan in the football game.
Another point would be that although on the front cover it states that 'United V Milan' is does not publish the results of the game on the cover. For the people that see this magazine and are interested in the match results would want to take the magazine from the shelf and open it up to find out the results. This would make the target audience of the magazine want to purchase it as well.
Finally, the text has a couple of subheadings revealing what else is talked about/ contained in the magazine. One of the subheadings are saying 'EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DAVID BECKHAM *I'M STILL A FAN*'. This makes more people want to read the magazine as David Beckham is such a great player he is trying to say that despite Rooney coming close, if not overtaking his ability he is sill a "huge fan".
