My deconstruction of 'Top of the Pops' Magazine.

1. DECONSTRUCTION OF
‘TOP OF THE POPS’
MAGAZINE

2. Cover…
Masthead at the top to let
the audience know the name
of the magazine and to
advertise it.
The title positioned in
the middle of the
page to draw
attention to the
feature article.
The Dominant image to
show who the feature artist
is and to draw readers
attention to the feature
artist.
The puff brings the
readers attention to
a part of the
magazine and gives
more information.
Sell lines to show
the reader what
else is in the
magazine to make
people buy it.
Barcode
Sub images to attract
the audience and to
show the audience what
will be in the magazine.
The logo on the top of the magazine cover
makes it clear to the readers who owns the
magazine - BBC
Plug to persuade
people to buy the
magazine for
something inside.
The magazine has a bright colour
theme to attract attention.

3. Contents…
The title ‘inside the
mag’ and
‘contents’ let the
readers know what
page they are on
and what’s on it.
Sub titles are
used to make it
easier for the
reader to find
the page they
are looking for.
Sub images to
show the audience
what to expect on
certain pages in
the magazine.
The magazine uses
bright colours for
the contents page
to make it exciting
and fun and to
highlight the
important parts.
Gutter lines to
separate the columns
of page numbers.
This makes it easier
to read and see what
page number is with
what page.

4. Double page
spread…
A quote is written at the top of the page to
replace the title. It attracts the audience and
makes them want to read what is below it.
The
dominant
image shows
the readers
who is the
feature in
that part of
the
magazine.
The sub image
makes the article
more interesting
and attract the
readers attention.
Bright colours attract the readers and
makes it more fun and easy to read.
Byline to give
more information
on what is going
to be in the
article.
Caption to give
more information
on what is going
on in the image
and who is in it.
