Representation of men and women in magazines
Men and women are portrayed to the public very differently. quite often women are seen as sex symbols that will attract the attention of the male audience, the aim is that the main image will appeal to them making them want to buy the magazine in order to see similar images. They are made to look alluring and appealing often dressed in very little clothes with soft facial expressions in order to entertain the male audience and draw them in. On the other hand some people view the women on the cover of the magazine as an icon. Girls often want to look like famous women that they see on these covers of music magazines as they are portrayed to have perfect skin, hair, makeup and figure.
Men on the other hand are made to look powerful and strong. They stand bold and will have strong facial expressions so that the reader feels like they are staring them straight in the eye. Boys will often look up to them as they are respected. They are also seen as sex icons but no so often as women are. Whereas women would be doing a seductive stare to get the interest of the male audience.
