Front Cover Analysis

I have realised that the 3 magazine covers I have looked at which have woman on the front support Naomi Wolf's theory that magazines tend to only use beautiful woman with the perfect figure on the front cover of their magazine in order to sell the issue

Link between the two theory's

As you know I have been looking at different theory's which involve how woman are portrayed. In particular I have been looking at Marjorie Ferguson's theory and Naomi Wolf's theory. I soon came to realise that the two theory's link together in an unexpected way, I have realised that Ferguson's theory leads onto Wolf's theory. Ferguson focuses on the poses woman generally pull when modelling for a magazine and Naomi Wolf concentrates on how woman are looked upon and the pressure they are put under by the fashion and beauty industry to have the perfect figure and face. Marjorie Ferguson's theory could be considered part of Wolf's as the poses woman tend pull make them look attractive and inviting which supports what Naomi Wolf is saying about magazines only using beautiful woman with the perfect figure on the front cover of their magazines to draw in potential customers.

Naomi Wolf's Theory (1991)

Since I am using a female model on the front cover I decided to do some research into some theorys that involve woman. I have already looked at Marjorie Ferguson's theory so I decided I'd find someone that has a similar theory. Naomi Wolf's theroy isn't about the different poses woman often pull on the cover of magazines however it links in with Ferguson's theory as it is about the pressure woman are put under to look good.

Applying Marjorie Ferguson's Theory

Since looking at Marjorie Ferguson's theory I've realised that I can apply her theory when analysing the front covers, content pages and feature articles that I have collected.
