Description

Original ZOO Magazine – Issue 243, dated 24–30 October 2008.

A very recognisable late-2000s issue of the weekly British men's magazine, with Kerry Katona dominating the front cover as the principal featured model/celebrity. The cover promotes a substantial Kerry Katona photo feature and interview, with several additional female features advertised throughout the issue.

Inside, the photographed contents pages show a broad mixture of the magazine's typical 2008 material, combining glamour/model photography, celebrity features, sport, entertainment, cars, gaming and humour.

A major feature of this issue is Kerry Katona, whose cover story is promoted as a ZOO exclusive. The front cover uses several photographs from the feature, while the contents identify the main article beginning near the front of the magazine.

Another substantial pictorial feature is Katie-Marie, presented by the magazine as part of its feature on Britain's brunette models. The supplied photographs show a large full-colour double-page spread with Katie-Marie, with the feature described as a 12-page celebration of brunette glamour models.

Other women visibly promoted or pictured within the magazine include Bianca Gascoigne and Cheryl Cole, alongside further model and celebrity photography throughout the issue.

The contents photographed also show period features covering:

• Kerry Katona
• Katie-Marie and the brunette model feature
• Bianca Gascoigne
• Cheryl Cole
• Ricky Gervais
• Shane Warne
• Xabi Alonso
• Arsenal behind-the-scenes material
• Call of Duty 5
• Bugatti Veyron
• Entertainment, sport, gadgets, reviews and regular ZOO features

This is a particularly characteristic example of ZOO in 2008, with the bold tabloid-style graphic design, large-format photography, celebrity coverage, football content, cars and entertainment features associated with the title during this period.
