Magazine Research – Timeout
What articles are inside this magazine?

Double page spread giving information about Jessie J also
can be a form of entertainment to some readers

At the bottom of each article the folio consists of the page number and the
magazine’s website

In this magazine there are double page articles about film and
music topics
Magazine Research – Timeout
Example of a double page spread in this magazine
Heading
•Bold, black font is used
so the text stands out
from the body text

Standfirst
•Gives brief info about the whole
article

Graphics
•Graphics are used to
create a black box so
the text is visible

Colur scheme
•Blue and black
•Neon blue is bright
and eye catching
•Black is used in text
box so the words are
more visible

Graphics
•This red circle is a
convention in timeout
magazine as it either
gives further info about
article or summarises
what the article is about
Folio
•Page number and magazine’s website is
placed on every article page
Headline
this
heading
would
challenge the conventions,
as its near the middle and
its horizontal also its
overlapping the image,
giving the magazine more
creativity and thought
Primary Image
uses: theres a main
image
where
the
audience would see
first. however there isn't
visual hierarchy the
audience would look at
the image before the
headline
Photography Style
develops: this photo is
not on the side taking
half a spread and nor in
the middle. the image is
more on the right and
having some on the
other half, having space
for the body text,
headline, subtitle etc

magazine

Standfirst
uses: the subtitle is
different than the body text.
has a different font, etc

Body text
the body text is in a box
look, however there isn't a
lot of body text to out in
columns but the placement
of it on the top corner
challenges the conventions
as its normally below the
headline
colour scheme
very classical colours. the photograph with the navy
background would contrast with the gold top where it makes
the gold show more with the dark background.
the whole double spread in general
the double spread challenges the conventions as it doesn't
have the box look effect where theres an image on half a
page and the headline is at the top with the body text below it
(visual hierarchy) whereas this is different where the layout is
different

Folio
challenges: this magazine
spread has no folios and
normally beside the folios
normally
have
the
magazine name, so this
magazine doesn't have the
folio nor the magazine
name beside

Newspaper Research – Evening Standard
This newspaper didn’t have any adverts for tv shows or documentaries but they have a
wide range of adverts from technology to supermarket deals

•All 3 use bright colour so
the advert stands out on
the newspaper page

chosen colour font is
visible

Most adverts in this newspaper
are this size and are placed at the
bottom of the page
Newspaper Advert
Primary Image
the primary image is at the top
which creates visual hierarchy as
an advert needs to be visual so it
can grab the audiences attention
Photography style
theres a main image at the top
take half of a half spread. while
there are a couple of small
images on the bottom of the
page. this shows that they are
showing the most important
image first then the least
important at the bottom as the
audience would look up first
then to the bottom
channel Logo
the channel logo is in the
middle between the images
and beside the TV title and the
timing. this is to remind the
audience on what channel to
find this TV show on

colour scheme
the main colour is red, this can
be due to red being noticeable
and can be seen from a
distance. making the advert
seem bold and easier to read
Slogan
theres slogan on the secondary
images, telling the audiences
what the TV show is called and
what time. this would make it
clear to the audience and more
easier to follow on what image
is what time
Name of program
the title is in the middle making
it more noticeable. behind the
text there is graphics making it
easier to read as theres an
image behind the text therefore
including graphics makes it
more helpful and can be seen
more clearly

How much advertising is in ‘Metro’?

the newspaper as it almost features of every
page in various sizes.
Also because the newspaper is free, their
funding is provided by the advertisers, so its
only natural if it features largely throughout.

Clothing brands

Who is the target audience?

• Therefore their target audience will be people who go
work early in the morning (when the papers usually
taken by) on the train mainly.
• Many articles are based on technology – esp, in the
ents & tech sections Supported by formal language.

Thus target audience is possibly
middle class adults.

How much advertising is in ‘The Sun’ ?

There is about 45% advertising throughout the
newspaper as it features on every page in
various sizes.
Also nearer the end of the paper there is a
double page spread dedicated for many small
advertisements.
What does ‘The Sun’ advertise ?

• Theme parks
• Supermarkets
• Movies
• Technology
• Holidays
• Adult hotlines
• Elderly mobility
Who is the target audience ?

•

The Sun’s main audience would generally be from ages 19
up to 49 as they have most buying power.

•

However, because of their adult themes possibly for those
older, more likely to be in their 30’s.

•

Being only 40p and the language and the reading age of 8, I
would assume this newspaper is for the lower working class
– emphasized from the low price/sale adverts
