Asiana textual analysis

The main image is a model dressed in bridal Asian clothing relating to the purpose of the magazine. The master heading 'Asiana Wedding' explains what the magazine is about and what type of audience its aimed at is people who are interested in getting married and need some insight to what they should wear. The posture the model is in is not directly facing towards the camera giving a very inviting look but yet making her clothes the main subject of the magazine. The model makes direct eye contact inviting  them to read the magazine and engage the audience. Clothing worn by the model also indicates what ethnicity the main audience is this because the clothes worn by the model is more common in the asian cultures than any other, for this reason the main audience that the magazine is aimed at is clear, However, since the magazine is sold in many non-asian areas it openly invites all different ethnicities.

The cover lines around the magazine relate mostly to what the Asian cultures hold in their weddings, for example, 'Mehndi' is very common in the asian culture and for this reason is well advertised on the front cover. 'Inside' the word makes the readers looks at the different sub-headings giving them an insight to what's inside the magazine and making it easier for them to pick the correct edition. In the other hand, by the customers knowing whats inside the magazine its attracts the customers so they know its not only for women but also for men as well.
The master heading explains the purpose of the magazine as explained before, 'Timeless tradition' this attracts audiences that are looking for a traditional wedding, this doesn't have to be asians but also other ethnicity that may like asian tradition weddings.
