Belle front cover analysis

You are able to tell just by looking at this magazine that it is a home furnishings magazine, with all the latest styles of furniture in it.
At the bottom of the front cover there is a piece of text saying 'Blue mood', this points out that blue is the new desired colour of home furnishings, and therefore is emphasized by the blue colour scheme around the front cover. For example, the title in this issue is in a deep sea blue colour, and is continually used throughout the subheadings on the magazine cover. The magazine offers advice on home furnishings and a style guide, and therefore this suggests that it is for an older generation of about 21 and onwards, who are working citizens who have their own home. It also seems to appeal to a middle or upper social class, as it offers style advice from designers. As most designer items are more expensive, working class people may not necessarily be inclined to purchase it.
The banner in the top right corner draws the audiences attention to the fact that it is a special edition magazine and therefore would only be out for a limited period of time, therefore enticing people to buy it more urgently which could help them sell more copies in a short period of time.
