LOOKING FOR A SALES BOOST? LET’S TRY JEN ANISTON!

Pasetsky’s Cover Critique

Very good timing for First!

The mag decides to use Jen Aniston on the cover as she’s finally gaining heat in the media. Jen’s relationship with John Mayer has everybody buzzing.

What they won’t be buzzing about is this cover that is a DESIGN DISASTER.

It’s about Jen’s secret fat-buster. And what do we see?

Jen’s head!

Why don’t we see a full body shot? Or why don’t we see one of the hundreds of new photos of Jen in a bikini inset on the cover.

Instead there’s an inset of Mariah Carey - so strange.

Bottom Line: Strong sales because First is a good magazine despite its weak cover design.

Woman’s World Diet of the Week!

STEPHANIE SAIBLE’S WOMAN WORLD HELPS YOU SHED 30LBS BY MEMORIAL DAY! 

womansworld2.jpg

Here’s a seemingly new twist from Stephanie Saible’s Woman’s World on its diet cover strategy (which is to feature a diet every week until you are a size 0).

The main line is 10 Years Thinner.

Let me think about that for a second.  YES, I WANT TO BE 10 YEARS THINNER!  I’d even go for 20 years thinner!

Plus, you can lose 30lbs by Memorial Day.  Is that possible?  I hope I can eat carbs cuz the last time I tried to lose weight I tried that whole no carb thing and almost fell asleep every 5 minutes.  Did anyone notice?  I hope not!

Is it just me or is the word “metabolism” hot right now?  Earlier today, CoverAwards featured Carol Brooks’ First Magazine, which featured metabolism in its MAIN line.

It’s a “Happy” Ellen Degeneres

CAROL BROOKS’ FIRST MAGAZINE FEATURES OPENLY GAY ELLEN DEGENERES!

first.jpg

Kudos to First’s Editor-in-Chief Carol Brietzke Brooks!

It’s great to see Ellen DeGeneres as the main cover image of First Magazine.   Ellen made a huge comeback with her daytime talkshow after coming out to the world and telling everyone she’s gay on her self-titled show. 

With the new issue of First Magazine, you’ll find out Ellen’s “Happy” Secrets!  (No, happy is not code word for gay, silly.)   I’m sure we’ll find out some great tips though since Ellen does seem pretty happy most of the time.

On a side note, I once walked Ellen down the red carpet when I was in PR working for MTV and she was awesome.   She had been through so much but represents how important it is to believe in yourself and never let any one hold you back!  Another reason why she’s a great choice for this cover of First Magazine.

The main cover line of this issue of First is “Your Metabolism Unleashed.”  It appears directly over Ellen, which throws this cover off a bit.   It’s clear that Ellen is not someone battling weight issues so the line doesn’t work with the main image.  This confusing layout will hurt First on the newsstands.
