Price:
small so this magazine
must be reasonably expensive.
Otherwise they would put the
price in bold and big numbers
to show how cheap it is.


Strapline:
“Best preview issue ever.”
Makes the reader/buyer think they
should buy this magazine because
it is going to be their best ever issue.


Typography:
Red, white and yellow
simple style font stand out
from dark background.

“Plus”:
using this word makes
you think that this magazine is
giving you extra.


Audience:
this magazine is probably
aimed at adults/young adults
because the style of
writing is quite formal. Plus
they mention more obscure
people e.g James Cameron.


Typography:
“Must-see movie exclusive”
this sucks the buyer in using persuasive
language to make their stories sound good.



Image:
Might attract Harry-Potter fans and/or
girls that like him and boys who idolise him.



Image:
Buyer knows main story
is about Harry Potter.

Image:
Color mid-shot
of Daniel Radcliffe/
Harry Potter

Target audience:
Because the writing is more formal I think this would be aimed at more educated people. I don’t think it was aimed at any particular area.

Comparison:
Out of the two magazines






Typography:
Masthead is Total Film in
bold white writing with total
written in the F of FILM.


Strapline:
“The modern guide to
movies” - This is
saying that they are
trying to appeal to
younger more modern
audiences.

Image:
Color long-shot of
Emma Watson/Hermoine
Granger, holding her
wand with a moody sky
in the background with
lightning flashing across it.

Image:
Would appeal to
Harry potter/ Hermoine
Granger fans.

Typography:
Use subheadings in
bigger,bolder writing
to draw you in and
read the small print.





Typography:
They use words like
plus and “worlds best
movie reviews” To make
their magazine seem
more interesting and
enticing.



Price: Is in small
suggesting the
magazine is not
cheap.

Typography:
Harry Potter written
in big bold letters to
draw people in.
White black and
grey font is used
to stand out from
the background

I think that the target audience for this magazine would be teenagers/young adults because it uses younger language and features e.g “ Are you in our social network?” Also they would be either gender . And from any walk of life. I don’t think that there would be any specific area this was aimed at.

Denotation: Closeup, in colour apart from skin, pink background and skirt.

Analysis: I like the style of this picture and as it is anime it will suit the style of my magazine. Also deathnote is a popular Japanese so someone that likes deathnote would pick up my magazine because of the picture on the front.

Denotation: An extreme closeup, woman, black and white, red background.

Analysis: I would use a similar picture because I like the style of drawing this is and I like that it is in black and white but the has a red background to make it stand out.  It would also suit the type of magazine I am doing because it is a kind of Japanese style.

MASTHEAD: The masthead/title is at the top and is in big bold writing.

This magazine has no masthead.

It advertises the "free gifts" inside in a black circle which stands out on the white/pink background.

The image on the front would pull me in to look at the magazine because it is well made and colourful.

This magazine obviously is quite expensive because the type is in small.

The font used is simple and bold for the optimum impact, the colour used also helps the font to stand out from the background.

I made a blog ;)
