The Mail on Sunday Magazines

One of the two magazines included in the Mail on Sunday is Live magazine pictured here to the left.
I have chosen this particular cover of Angelina Jolie as she is presented in a particularly seductive manner, due to her being practically naked.
The way she is displayed also reminds me of a Greek Goddess as she made to look abnormally attractive and perfect with glowing skin etc as well as the cloth or robe being used to cover herself as opposed to any kind of modern clothing. Also her pose with the cloth bears a similarity to classical statues and architecture of women and goddesses such as this picture of a statue to the right here
This.particular photo has been deliberately chosen to encourage a younger audience, as younger males are attracted to Angelina in this image whilst younger females my idolize her in this image.

Again looking through the rest of the magazine it becomes obvious that Live is aimed at youths as there are many advertisements and articles about new gadgets such as cameras and phones.
However this also implies that the magazine is also aimed at the middle class as these gadgets are fairly expensive, and again it is unlikely anyone who is working class could afford them.
