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.
