For the Toxic magazine, they use bright contrasting colours to draw the attention of
their audience, who are young children. This is also backed up by the fact that they
use large text but not a lot of words to grab the attention. They also put
mainstream things that children like such as “Fortnite” on the the front of the
magazine. Audience is male, 4-12.

Money magazine uses bland colours to show the seriousness behind the articles
within the magazine. Neutral colours are used but this would not let the
magazine attract younger audiences compared to how it would attract older
audiences. The topic of “money” (the title of the magazine) will attract a more
mature audience.
