General magazine research.

1. Media Magazine
Research
Masthead – The Masthead is one of the largest text on the magazine which is
telling you what the magazines about. Its colour scheme is fully gold which
links in to when you win a boxing match you win a gold medal.
Strapline – The Strapline is shown at the bottom of the cover which
includes the word ‘Plus’ meaning that this magazine has more insiders
than just shown on the main image and cover lines which could intrigue
the audience.
Cover lines – There are many cover lines dotted around the page, this is
used to give the audience little snippets on the type of informationand
facts that are written inside the magazine.
The magazine also includes many other conventions for example the
barcode. This is used so the cashier can scan the item and charge the
sufficient amount when the audience is buying the magazine, other
conventions include the price line and the date line. Both conventions offer
the date of when the magazine was issued and how much it costs, this will
appeal to the audience as it will give them valid information on if they are
buying the right issue and how much it is going to cost them. I believe this
type of magazine will appeal to an audience which loves combat sports or
loves boxing in general as it’s not a sport for everyone.

Masthead – The middle of the Masthead is covered by the main image, The main
image is a huge footballing profile Mohammed Salah so they want everyone to
see that they have exclusive informationfrom him in the magazine and are not
bothered about it covering a bit of the masthead which people will most likely
already know anyway if they’re buying the magazine.
Strapline – The Strapline is shown at the bottom of the cover which has its own
separate colour scheme which is different to the rest of the cover, this makes it
more eye catching and gives a quote from another high profile footballer
Ederson so that people know there is and exclusive interview with the
footballer.
Cover lines – The cover lines shown on the cover are highlighted in a bright
yellow, this is so the audience don’t miss some of the sneak peak information
and some of the exclusives they have inside the magazine.
The magazine wants most of its viewers focus to be on the main image and
its exclusive informationin the cover lines however the other conventions
such as the bar code and even other images make them just as important.
The colour scheme to the cover is very vibrant and in your face colours,
the red goes with Mohammed Salah as he plays for Liverpool in the
premier league.
