5. The man wearing a hoodie may symbolise rebellion, as hoodies are usually linked amongst youths and
“rebels”, also we cannot tell his expression as his mouth is covered, this gets the reader intrigued and also
this shows the kind of audience they are targeting, for example this magazine wouldn't be for an elderly man
but a teenager would be able to automatically relate to the man on the cover because of his clothing and his
whole look.
The colours in this are The actual background of

The picture is very bright, the man in it is clearly a artists from this genre and this is
a studio picture, as this type of music isn't really where the artist performs and
entertains, they just stand and play the music, so a studio shot will show the artist
much better than a live event shoot. This picture also tells us that a feature of the
magazine will be an interview with this artist.
7. The colours on this front page are very bright and neon, this shows the target audience they are going for,
the colours are associated with the dance and clubbing type of youth, this magazine would not attract for
example a gothic person as their colours tend to be red and black and dark colours, the opposite of this
magazine with bright pinks ect.

9. There is a feature column showing all the specials they have in the magazine, this section
has a black background with white writing, this makes it stand out and draws the readers
eyes to it, this is good for he magazine because its probably the best parts of the
magazine.

biggest thing on the page and almost in the centre, it tracts peoples eyes towards it and
looks like a live shot and that everyone in it is having fun, it then has the page number very

performing on stage, the colours are black and neon, again fitting gin with the neon theme of these
magazines. You can also see people at the side of the image watching the artist and they look like they

from the same event and are of lots of young people in a club having what the typical reader of this
magazine would consider as fun, it also has lots of attractive girls wearing skimpy outfits, this tells us what
kind of audience the magazine are aiming for, it looks very messy and everyone looks happy, which is what
