Marie Clare is a women's beauty and fashion magazine which was first published in the mid 1800's. Its target audience are women aged 22-30, and who are of a middle class. The front covers often include a lot of copy around the main image, and use several command words showing how the magazine is aimed towards those who seek guidance/ information on how to better themselves. An appeal of the magazine is the stars they have featured, as they are popular amongst the age range, whats more the magazine also gives you 'exclusive' insights into the lives of the celebrities which is an appeal as it allows the audience to feel more connected to the celebrity.
The inside of the magazine is a lot more stylised than the front cover; it has a clear layout and design which conforms to the more upmarket feel of the magazine. This is something which I would use in my magazine due to the fact that it makes it easy for the audience to read, and looks aesthetically pleasing. An appeal of this magazine is the fact that it deconstructs the outfits worn, so it gives the reader a clear view of how they would look and what the clothing looks like when not on a model.
The magazine's youtube page features celebrities taking part in interviews and playing games etc. This gives the magazine a more light hearted feel and acts as an appeal due to the fact that it gives the audience a deeper insight into the celebrities. This is something that I would use in my video (with the publisher/editor instead of the celebrity) as it makes the magazine feel more light hearted and gives it a more 'human' element; the magazine is high-end but not intimidating for the audience, it suggests that the magazine and therefore the reader, shouldn't take themselves too seriously.
