2. Describe the front cover of a magazine
The main house style
of the magazine is
very busy as they is
lots of pictures and
writing on the front
cover, the specific
colours are pink,
purple and white
which represents
that the magazine
target audience is
aimed at teenagers
girls as the typical
stereo type is girls
favourite colours are
purple and pink . The
magazine is bright
and stands out to the
reader and the
magazine is very
busy to make it look
like they is a lot
going on inside.
The main title is
bold, pink with
girly writing to
attract the right
Target audience
The magazine
uses pictures to
attract younger
target audience
as a younger
audience
wouldn’t want to
read about the
stories they
would see what
the main story is
about by the
image.
Uses common
slang words to
attract the
audience as it
will stand out to
them.
The main image
is a mid shot of
a well known
pop star, as top
of the pops uses
main pop stars
to attract fans
and show what
the main story is
about
uses a range of
puffs to attract
to reader into
seeing what's
inside the
magazine .
3. The house style of
the contents page
is clear and tells
you a lot of
information about
what's inside. The
contents page has
four clear columns
and the main 3
colours are
white, red and
black which is
simple but effective
as its more clear to
read. They use a
plain white
background so the
black and red
writing stands out
and isn't over
shadowed by a
busy background.
Has the name of the magazine in
bold large writing the stand out
to the reader to clearly show
what magazine they are reading.
The main selling point has a
large picture that dominates
that page to show more
about what the story is
about. The pictures also fit in
with the layout as the main
picture takes up two columns
and the small picture just
takes up one.
Uses red writing on the
main sub headings so the
reader will see it first and
quickly get a idea in
what’s inside.
The magazine uses
different font for the
numbers so its easier to
find without having to
read all the paragraphs.
4. The main
imagine
uses one
full page.
Mid
shot
well
known
famous
person
Use of grey
background
which relates
to the main
picture
different
colours
of font
Use clear
and bold
fonts to
stand
out.
Highlighted
the sub
headings
5. The house style is of
the double spread
page is clear to read
with 3 main columns
which separates the
paragraphs so it
makes it look more
interesting to read
and doesn't look like
they have much o
read which might put
the reader of. The
use of colours such as
black, grey and red
shows that it’s a rock
magazine but the pink
writing represents
that this article is
mainly targeted at a
girls audience. This
article relates to this
genre of magazine
which is rock because
the rock star who is
the main imagine of
the double spread
creates music for that
industry
The use of the
lights around the
background
represents that
he is famous and
he’s a star, which
makes it more
related to the
imagine.
The main imagine is a
mid shot which takes
up a whole page, this
shows that the
imagine is related to
the article and makes
it more interesting to
read.
The sub
headings that
are questions
asked to the
person been
interviewed are
highlighted
white as this
makes the
writing stand
out from a grey
background .
The use of red and
black is sticking with
the house style and
clearly shows an idea
in what your reading
for example ‘news’
This type of
photograph is
used as its
showing clearly
what the article
is about and if
you don’t know
who the person
is it gives you an
insider.
