4. I think we have magazines because it is a form of media and people like to know things about other peoples lifes e.g celebrities. Also if you have a hobby and a magazine has been created for that hobby you'd be attracted to buy it. We also have magazines to advertise shops/clothing.

5. Gossip magazines are probably most popular with our year group and also maybe fashion magazines.

6. Magazines will probably get more bigger because in 50 years there will be much more to advertise.

7. This can attract women because on the front cover they talk about their shoe article which includes 59 new styles. And they also talk about new hairstyles for women to try put. Also by having Cheryl Cole on the cover it will attract women because they want to be a pretty/successful as her.

This will attract people to buy because they are intrested in what's going on celebrities lives and they want to know all the gossip. Again they have Cheryl Cole as the main cover story because people want to know what is going on with her marriage.

This will attract people if they have a wedding to plan or want/need any tips on make-up or a venue. This can also attract non asian people because they may like some tips on make-up or just like to flick through the images.
