GQ- Appeals to men by using darker, more stereotypically male colours. Cosmopolitan- Appeals to women by using brighter, more stereotypically female colours.
There is a Puff on the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Both promoting different things.
Men are represented in the GQ Magazine as strong and sophisticated. We can see this through the confident and powerful expression on his face. The way he is smiling along with how his eyebrows are lowered shows he is relaxed and confident, connoting power and strength. Furthermore, the fact his hands are shown and are simulated as a fist show he is asserting dominance along with his well groomed beard and freshly styled hair and suit.
Cosmopolitan represents women as wanting to look more attractive, it seems this way because on the magazine cover, a large majority of the cover lines are promoting weight loss and feeling more confident. The star vehicle is a slim, stereotypically attractive woman, which furthermore persuades the females to lose weight so they can look like her.
