Alex Scherrer MEN’S FITNESS MAGAZINES
Jul 21, 2015
MY VISIT
• The genre that catches my attention the most is soccer magazines. However, I believe
that health and fitness magazines being a very close second, because I am really
interested in learning to live a healthier life.
• The most eye catching magazine was Men’s Fitness. It always has a well -known celebrity
on the cover and very loud, attention grabbing cover lines.
• Although it wasn’t the most up-to-date article, I really liked the October 2013 because I
am still hyped about the newest X-Men movie that came out, and so it was cool to see
Hugh Jackman on the cover.
• The magazines seemed to be very similar to each other throughout the issues.
• All of the magazines really caught my attention because of the bright red fonts or big
black fonts.
REFLECTION
• During my visit, I learned that magazines within the same genre had similar articles and
information, worded slightly differently.
• The most eye catching features about the magazines where the articles with images in it.
• I learned that I need to include articles with pictures of what I’m talking about, whether it
be routines, machines, or supplements.
WHAT MEN’S FITNESS ABOUT
• Men’s fitness is about taking care of your body, while also become more
muscular by means of working out properly and supplementing your body.
• The target audience is male aged around 16 through 40
• “Lean and Mean in 28 days”, “7 Perfect Power Foods”, “Get Fit By The
Fall”, “Lose your Gut”
QUESTIONS
• The central image is almost always a celebrity that is in shape. They are
usually posed in a way to show their muscles.
• The photos are usually always in front of a plain white background.
• The masthead is always the same font, but the color varies in accordance
to the background or what the model in the central image is wearing.
This is my inspiration because it uses
great space and none of the cover
lines are covered by the central
image. Also Robert Downey Jr. has
great facial hair.
