There are many genres of magazines that are published daily and some of them are music, sports, gaming, food, lifestyle, fitness, glamour, kid/teen/adult/"adult", news, computing, gardening and fashion among many.
Magazines always follow the same layout as well. They have the main focal point in the centre with the title of the magazine at the top somewhere and all of the main intriguing topics around the sides. The main topics and titles are bigger than the other titles as they are the ones that have been focused on more in the magazine, such as Battlefield 3 being several sizes larger than the text above it and the other topics around it.
This magazine featuring Ellie Goulding features all of the main language devices that are found in all magazines. It has the main focal point (Ellie Goulding) at the centre of the magazine cover with the title of the magazine company behind her head and the edition or title of the magazine at the very top. It is then surrounding the focal point with all of the main topics.
The cover features emotive language just to the left of Ellie saying "The health scare that's changing my life" because of the use of the word 'scare' and 'changing'. It makes the reader feel worried about her and interested to read on about what she's being afraid of. Colloquial language (slang) at the top where it says "Rinsta Or A Finsta" as they're both two shortened down words stuck together that the youth use these days, standing for Real Instagram and Fake Instagram. There are also a lot of exclamation marks being used on the cover to exaggerate the sentences and to make them sound enthusiastic and interesting. "Mode of Address" is also being used on this cover where it says "Amp up your look". The key word in that sentence is 'your' where the magazine is trying to entice the reader to read the magazine by speaking directly to them. There are many more language techniques being used on this cover to persuade people into reading by making them think that it's more interesting than it probably is.
