Laura Mulvey was a female media psychologist who developed the theory of 'the Male Gaze'. This idea suggests that all media products are created to convey the world through a male's eyes. For this reason, she believed that magazines were designed primarily to be appealing to men. In relation to this, my magazine front cover features many images of females which would appeal to men's desires. The fact that my magazine is a 'girls special' would also make the magazine appealing as they would be intrigued to read about these women. In contrast, the magazine would appeal to women due to the idea that there is a 'girls society' in which all girls stick together - they will be interested to read about other girls in order to find out more about their life, not because they are appealing.
