Womans Health
December 2017 

Women’s Health Magazine is a magazine that focuses on health, fitness, lifestyle, and nutrition. 

The cover page has a view of the ocean in the background and the model, Allison Brie, is wearing black bathing suit bottoms and a black long sleeve sweater to set a contrast between the background and the model. The viewers are also focusing on the models body, so they decided her to wear a crop top to feature her apps. This shot is a mid-shot because Allison is shot from above her thighs and the background to be seen. The cover page also has a range of font sizes and colors that make the different words stand out along the rest. This strategy is found in most of the magazines today. 

The table of contents is found in the beinging of the magazine, listing all of the different types of important articles. All of the names of the articles are in a bold font to make them the first thing that the reader/viewer notices to know where to locate specific information they may be looking for. It is important to keep in mind that there is no need for a busy background because the table of contents is what really matters to the viewers/readers. 

The articles are a variety of meal plans, skin guidence, fashion, and work-out tips. The magazine can not be overwhelming -offering so many different topics- so the table of contents is very simple and the layout of the articles makes the reading very smooth and inviting. For example, the work-out tips are found every few pages, while on every page the healthy eating habbits are taken into consideration. The advertizements are found throughout the magazine as well, mostly concering with the fashion of the ideal workout outfit.
