December Issues
These two December issues of Elle use gold as the main colour on their covers. Gold connotes glamour and also party season and Christmas. Cover lines such as 'Elle Gift Guide' and 'Easy Party Make Up' also connote the time of year as their audience is getting ready for Christmas. Furthermore, the cover line 'Style for Less' connotes that during this time of year, their audience are spending more money on other things, such as gifts, therefore want to find cheaper clothes than any other time of year. The masthead is in the same place on both of the magazines, suggesting they have the same placing of the mast head on every magazine. This makes the magazine very recognisable. The font is simplistic, which gives the magazine a sophisticated and glamorous feel. The magazine seems to stick to a clear colour theme, not using too many colours to keep the elegant and sophisticated feel.
June Issues
These two issues of Elle clearly connote summertime through the colours used on the covers and also the cover lines. In the top cover, they use three colours to connote summer, pink, light blue and white. These colours also give the magazine a polished and sophisticated look as their isn't too much colour, therefore not drawing away from the main image. The rule of thirds is evident in both magazine covers, adding to the simplistic and sophisticated look. Pink seems to be the main colour used on both magazine covers, as it is associated with the female audience and also reflects the season. The main image is of current female celebrities that the audience are interested in. Cover lines such as 'summer dressing' also connote the season.
