Heat magazine is a famous celebrity gossip magazine who's target audience I would assume is young women because of the gossip and free Big Brother magazine. What is most interesting about the front cover of Heat is that it appears to have no particular layout system. It looks almost as though the images and words on the page have just been thrown together randomly. This makes it seem more informal.
This front cover shows the date it was published, '6-12 June 2009' and the price '£1.65'. There is also a website you can go to hidden alongside the 'h' in Heat. There is a bar code at the bottom too.
The masthead is simply 'heat' but the title itself acts as a logo as well. There is no cover mount for a free gift however there is an advert for the supplement 'mini mag' for Big Brother inside to attract the reader but there is no skyline.
This cover also appears to have no 'main' image. There are 6 smaller images which add to the random layout of the page. 2 of the images appear to have anchorage title, 'Finally...Robert strips!' and 'young & curvy vs older & skinny'.
Graphic features include the red and pink backgrounds underneath the anchorage titles and the abbreviation 'vs' on top of the images.
