2. Front Page
Masthead- well known typography to make readers feel
comfortable and make the magazine feel familiar. It is clearly seen
on the front cover, at the top of the page. It follows the maximum
two word rule which jux opposes the informal text and image.
This is a tag, it is a well known phrase and therefore
engages the readers and other possible audiences. It is
also a strapline/Cover line as it is telling you what will
be in the magazine but is short and snappy. This shows
that this magazine is very up to date and interacts well
with its audience. The last sentence is a puff as it talks
about other content in the magazine.
There is a skyline along the middle of the page, calling out
about a special attraction. It is also a plugas it boosts the
status of the magazine because V Festival is a very
prestigious event for young people to visit.
The whole composition of the magazine is very informal
and goes against the typical codes and conventions of a
magazine as it does not have a pug or an integrated cover.
This means the focus really is on the main image therefore
is a poster cover.
This slogan catches its audiences eye as it implies that
the magazine was written by people who are of the
same social groups as their target audience, therefore
are writing what the people want to hear.
Main Image has one line of anchorage text, it again is
very informal and is using pop culture
references/colloquialisms (emojis&catchy well known
phrase) to engage their audiences.
3. Contents Page
The same font is used on the contents page as the
front cover which implies the magazine is very
professional and established. This would imply that
the black and red colours and this font is the in-
house style This makes the audience recognize the
magazine form others.
His page shows a very specific house style that
gives this magazine a unique identity. The
identity that is given is shown to be informal due
to the words being cut off the page, the tilt of
the text and the picture of the people at a
festival in the corner. This all connotes to a
relaxed and laid back attitude that would appeal
to their target audience.
Again this contents page shows that this magazine
does not adhere to the typical does and
conventions of the magazine genre. For example it
does not have a slug, nor does any of the pictures
bleed.
