1. Basic Layout; The double page
spread uses three main columns
(Rule of thirds). The first column is
for the article which is the smallest
on the page; making it seem the
least important. The middle column
has the biggest width; making it
seem the most important as this is
the main image. Then they have
used smaller images around the
main image in the third column and
the second column.
Colour scheme; This is the
colours on the magazine
that should be consistent.
They have used the colours
white, black and pink which
is consistent throughout the
page. However, the bands
clothes are red and blue
which contrasts with the
rest of the page, making
them stand out on the
page.
Font size/type;
The page uses a
wide range of font
to make different
parts of the
magazine stand
out. For example,
the words 'boy
racers' is the main
title as this has a
unique font and is
the biggest font on
the page. This
informs the
audience that this is
the main attraction
on the page and so
the audience will
look here first.
Space; The page uses all of the space with lots of
images and text, making it look visually appealing.
It makes the magazine look busy and highlights
that this magazine has a lot to offer with lots of
'gossip' which meets the interests of the target
audience of young females/ teenagers.
Unique selling point; This
is the concept which makes
the magazine stand out from
other magazines. The page
includes a mini quiz which
will involve the audience
within the magazine. This will
excite the audience as there
is a prize to follow.
Images; These are photographs that are used within all magazines.The main image is centred on the page and is also the biggest
image on the page; making it seem the most significant. The band in the main image are walking towards the target audience and
seem to be looking straight at them which is the use of direct address. This will intrigue the audience as they will think that the
magazine is aimed at them. The use of the mise-en-scene in the picture is also significant as it adds to the theme of racing as the
audience can see cars and 'The race' in the background. The boys are also holding helmets. There are other smaller images
around the main image but with the same people in. These images are just as important. They use quotes from the model in the
picture which will intrigue the target audience as they will want to know what they are saying as they see these models as idols.
The quotes make the page more realistic Consequently, making the audience want to buy the magazine.
