task 2 - Magazines

žHow do the two magazines differ?

these two magazines are different in loads of ways because they are both trying to showing to different thinks/subjects to the reader. The 'Nuts' magazine has bright and lots of different colours making it stand out, which will catch young male attention. This magazine has puffs/plug saying 'Ultimate Stage Nights' which is a more immature side to a man. whereas 'GQ' is a formal and mature magazine. on this magazine it has smaller print suggesting there is more to read then to look at. it has a picture of a important, successful and sophisticated role model. I contrast with the 'Nuts' magazine has a picture of a barely clad model/actress. also in big print has the words 'Breast'. I think this magazine is aiming for younger men but older teenagers. 
The Masthead in 'Nuts' is written in full and can clearly be seen. However the other magazine is such a well known brand it is actually obscured by the mail photo article. this magazine is trying to appeal to men in their 40s and above. It also only is needing one photo on the cover. But 'nuts' has more because it needs to be more approachable.
