The layout of Marie Claire magazine front cover is very similar to vogue magazine, with the heading at the top of the page and small captions around the image that tell the reader about main stories/topics inside the magazine. The masthead is in very big letters at the top of the page but not in capitals.
The colour used for the title is very bold and stands out, it is bright red and is in theme with the rest of the page. The background is very plain and simple, being white though makes the image stand out more.
The image is a mid length shot and takes up most of the page, this magazine also uses images of high profile celebrities (Beyonce Knowles) for their front covers to attract a certain target audience and to represent the ideology of the magazine. The target audience for this magazine is teenage girls and women aged around 16 years and over.
Ideology - The magazine discusses lots of different topics, including fashion, real life stories and celebrities. Price, issue & date - these are all in the top left hand corner of the page in very small text, this is so not to take up to much space, but still noticeable for the reader to see.
The colours used are used deliberately to match the theme of the issue, these themes change every issue and sometimes the layouts also change. there are a lot of small captions around the image and each one is about something different i.e real life, fashion, that issues celebrity etc..
