Magazine Mind Map
This document provides research and planning for an ancillary product, a TV magazine front cover, by a student named Claire Olney. It discusses the history, circulation, and target audience of the magazine Inside Soap, which is the source of inspiration. Ideas are generated for the magazine's masthead including "SoapLatest", "SoapDisclosure", and "ExclusiveSoap". Fonts such as "Keep Calm" and images are considered to attract readers.

Magazine analysis final
The magazine Kerrang targets 13-24 year olds interested in heavy metal and indie rock music. This is evident from the dark coloring and comic book style of the cover that appeals stereotypically to males in this age group. The low price of £1.89 also indicates the target market cannot afford much, placing them in social groups C1-E. The magazine layout follows the Guttenberg design theory with important elements like the masthead and band photos placed in the primary optical area to attract readers' eyes. Kerrang's masthead uses an onomatopoeic name and cracked font to represent the loud, grungy rock music genre.

1. Impact: A classic sans serif font that is bold and eye-catching. The all-caps style will stand out on the magazine covers.
2. Bank Gothic: A retro font with a gritty, urban style that evokes graffiti and punk rock aesthetics. The thick letterforms will grab attention.
3. Amatic SC: A stylized script font with an edgy, handwritten feel. The varied letter widths give it energy that would appeal to a young male audience.
For subheadings, a complementary sans serif like Helvetica Neue or Arial would provide clarity while

Rolling Stone magazines have been a pioneer in the media field and are also very big manes in the industry. Due to their extremely influential and bottom line fame, they are able to to cover partly their logo and still be easily identified. Their original font is also very iconic, contributing to their identifiability. The barcode allows this particular publish from the magazine to be The headline of the main story, communicates the contents of this magazine. With the help of the main image the magazine’s purpose is also made very clear. In this particular instance, the story follows Bruno Mars, and how he has earned the title of , ‘Pops’ Golden Child’. This draws people since it insinuates or rather gives of the message that readers will benefit/learn from his success story. This draws readers, since they can get something out of reading this article, or at least the magazines makes you think you can The main image is the biggest feature of this magazine cover and is normal the center piece of all magazine covers.

That being said, the cigarette in the image might portray the subject as a bad influence and his look may cause some frowns, dependent on the viewer. Especially if the consumer isn’t aware off the subjects identity, the photo may be contextualized in different ways This is a cover line. In this particular instance, the cover offers an opinion, concerning the best rock songs and artists of 2013. Despite being an opinion, the fact that this opinion is showcased on a magazine, especially one as big as Rolling Stone, give these views a sense of power and accuracy over others. All of this due to autarky given to the contents of the magazine. Therefore the superiority of this opinion draws buyers. The sad part though is that buyers believe that this opinion is the right opinion and they don’t This pugg uses adjectives that put emphasis and the sheer size of the scandal it is addressing. Additionally, ‘scandal’ is word that insinuates gossip. These controversial topics are always interesting, since readers want the different opinions on ‘current affairs’. While being small minded, some readers need this sort of content for reasons that cater specifically to the individuals that buy them. This reasons include: mindless entertainment for relaxation and other similar reasons. Additionally, this sort of feature provides publicistiy for the author, Matt Taigbi. The following is an example of a puff. This particular puff uses big names in the music industry to attract viewers. These sort of tactics add significance to the content of a feature.
