2. There is a clear Masthead which grabs the attention of the
audience. The colour scheme is well thought out so the Masthead
stands out against the background. The masthead is covered
slightly but it adds to the funniness and liveliness of the magazine.
Even though there is no title mentioning that this is the content
page from the way it is laid out the reader will be able to gather
that. This page has a clear structure to it.
The main image is bold and stands out. This is
good to catch the audience’s attention. This
makes the audiences want to look straight at it
and its good that at the side of the model there is
a good big enough space for the content
features. The model is also holding a guitar
which still shows the audience that this is a
music magazine.
The have put five key feature on the contents
page to entice the audience. This makes them
drawn to the key feature. We can see a brief
synopsis of each section and this will allow the
audience to see which section catches their
attention from the synopsis.
Eye flow from left to right theory
is evident here. They have
carried this through to their
content page
3.
4. This is the same front and colour scheme that was used on
the front cover of the magazine. The fact that the masthead
has been carried through onto the content page, shows a
thought about colour scheme and style. As it is at the top
shows the readers that this is exactly what is going to be on
the page.
On the right hand side there is a content of what
the magazine has to offer. They have also
underneath the 5 heading given the reader a little
synopsis of what is in that section and what that
section has to offer instead of just state the
different section the reader can get an idea of
what each section has to offer
The picture of the girl standing by the tour bus
is eye capturing to the audience. When you
open up this magazine it is one of the first things
you see. She is smiling which is inviting and
friendly to the audience. Also her costume
represents what this magazine is about – Rock
Music Magazine
This is a band index which tells the reader when
different bands are performing. This extra bit of
information is enticing and the font style plus
colour reinforces the masthead. There is a clear
sense of house style
The text box is giving the reader and enticing bit
of information about what is included in the
magazine. It allows the to be draw to the
magazine and what exclusive information they
have to offer the reader. This text is situated at
the centre of the magazine which allows the
reader to clear see and focus on this bit of
information whilst still being consistent with the
colour scheme (house style) of the magazine.
5. They have included a banner which is consistent
with the theme of the magazine. And it also is
very appealing and clear to read. This is also the
masthead. The childlike consistency is suitable
for the target audience so they have thought the
structure out well. Made sure it is not mature
enough for their desired reader.
A sub heading at the top of each individual
box makes the magazine look more
constructed to suit the chosen target
audience. It makes the magazine look
more fun and a lot more childlike. And also
instead of writing ‘we love boys’ they did
‘we <3 boys’ which again makes the
magazine more suitable for the younger
readers. It gives each box the feeling like
the audience is looking at a diary.
The use of unconventional space makes the
magazine a lot different compared to the
ones that might be on the market. The
techniques are used to help heighten the
desired target audience.
The images that are being used are picked out so that they attract
and are suitable for their particular target audience. It also shows the
type of images that children like and it shows that they do not like
their type of magazine to be over powered by writing. All the images
including the singing girl makes the magazine suitable for its
audience and right for its chosen genre. The images link to the ‘pop’
genre this magazine is going for, they would not have chosen a singer
like Tom Jones because he is not part of the pop genre and he might
is suitable for this magazine which tries to attract young girls and
teenagers.
