We love this 1 d contents analysis

1. Main image-the main image is of one direction hugging smiling
together making direct eye contact with the audience this
immediately draws in the target audience assuring them with a
friendly cute, sassy environment. The main image is immediately
drawing in a very large inherited audience, as one direction is an
extremely famous well-recognised band, it is extremely
mainstream. They are dressed in very basic clothes, this is done
to represent their boy band as they are very basic and
mainstream and not at all unique. Similarly as they are all
extremely covered up and in no way derogatory this reveals that
the primary audience is very young. There is a lot more images
tan there is text on the overall contents page- this emphasises
that it is for a younger audience s they would proffer to loo at
images than text so they don’t become bored. However the only
small article on this page is about one direction and all
stereotypical younger girls adore 1D as it is a very basic
mainstream band.
The pull quotes are extremely cheesy
revealing that again it is based on a younger
primary audience. The pull quote ‘id pose
naked for about a hundred quid!’
demonstrates that this is only for a female
audience, likewise as it uses quiet slang
words it highlights that the magazine is not
at all in anyway mature
, It is aimed at the fun loving younger teen
audience. One direction is an extremely
loved boy band by the younger teens there
for this will immediately bring in sales as
they have a ‘1D craze phase’ however as it is
for a younger audience it has not been
sexualised at all displaying them fully
clothed and covered with playful crazy fun-
loving hair styles.
The main colours of the article
are yellows and blues-these are
both primary colours, this again
represents a younger target
audience as they focus on basic
colours and things they
understand. Yellow connotes
happiness and warmth and
mellow (relaxed feelings),
similarly baby blue connotes a
very simplistic relaxation vibe,
it indicates that it is based at a
younger audience. The typology
of this magazine is mainly big
bold and blank font with vibrant
outbursts of colours creating an
overall house style.
Within the contents page there
is an editors page this is directly
addressing the audience to
make them feel like this
magazine was made only for
them, making them feel special-
uses and grats.
Advertisement of free posters
will make the audience more
likely to purchase it as they
are receiving a freebee and
getting something back from
the magazine, and for a
younger target audience it is
all about hat they can have.
