This is a "TV issue" of a glamour magazine, featuring Issa Rae on the cover and highlighting a quote from her interview. It also advertises six other actresses on the cover to appeal to the audience.
This glamour magazine features Blake Lively as she "reveals the real-life dramas on the Gossip Girl set". It also features fashion, body image and an article about what happened at the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards. Although being written in a smaller font, the article about Gossip Girl is highlighted by the fact Blake Lively, one of the main characters of the show, is on the front cover.
This magazine features Jenna Coleman as "TV's new queen", alongside money, fashion, beauty and gossip articles. The reader is focused on Jenna because of the photo and the positioning of her name as it stands out.
This magazine is focused on beauty and fashion as it is labelled "The Big Fashion Issue" and highlights the "Glamour Beauty Festival". Despite the theme of fashion, the cover is of Lily James and highlights her article about Downton. However, this links back to fashion as it also mentions how she talks about being "less stylish than her boyfriend". In this way, the TV show and actress can be linked with the themes of the glamour magazine.
These magazines all focus on one main actress on the cover which is something that I will do for my own magazine. The cover also features the actress's name and a line/quote about her/her show alongside other articles, often on the theme of fashion/beauty. The article itself might even link back to fashion, as well as discussing the TV show/life of the actress, in order to keep it relevant to the magazine and the target audience. My magazine will also have the same target audience as my TV show, as the TV show's target audience is young, millennial, 18-25 year old women - very similar to that of these magazines.
