In both summaries, the key elements of the magazine covers are hit upon in under 3 sentences to give a
2. At the top of the magazine the reader is presented with a large pink text box containing
the words, 'Inside the mag...' this shows the reader clearly that this is the contents page.
The use of ellipsis on the title also builds anticipation and excitement. The fact it is in a
bubblegum pink adds to the fun and eye catching presentation. It also creates a
feminine and girly look and feel to the contents page. The text is written in a script font,
giving it a handwritten effect again adding to a soft feminine look yet, the text is still
able to stand out as it is written in white which contrasts with the brightness of the pink.
The pink and white colouring makes the text bold and stand out to grab attention. The
fact it has shortened the word magazine to 'mag' gives a chatty approach which the
young TA would appeal to as it gives a more friendly approach and it is also language a
teenaged audience would be familiar with. The use of ellipsis gives the impression of
lots of information, creating for all the gossip which the magazine includes.
Underneath this, is an image of the magazines front cover. This is a convention of
contents pages to include the front cover as it allows easy access, as the reader would
want to find something on the front cover (which has lured them into buying it) quickly.
It is also to show an image of the front cover to create a symbiotic link between the
front cover and contents page. It clearly points to each section of the front cover with
an arrow and a large page number so the reader can find the particular section easily.
Each of the numbers are pink and bold to grab attention. The fact they are pink again,
links to the feminine feel as pink is stereotypically a 'feminine colour'. Also, the numbers
seem to have a 'handwritten' feel to them as many of the numbers have a curved effect
to them and the ends of the letters have a 'flick' on the end of them. The arrows used to
point to the sections of the front cover also has a handwritten effect as if someone has
drawn them, this makes it appear more soft, subtle and fun. The hand-drawn look of the
arrow adds a personal touch as well, as if a friend is showing the way around the
magazine.
Surrounding the front cover image are six boxes, all sub titled with a different title. The
six boxes have a drop shadow effect, creating a ‘3D’ feel that enables them to grab
attention. This is common on music magazine contents pages as it makes it more
organized and again much more accessible. Each sub title is written in the same font and
colour, they are all written in the familiar font which is used to on the masthead of the
magazine 'Top Of The Pops' as each letter 'S' has a curled look to make it stand out and
look fun and different. The fac the font is written in the same as the mast head creates
another symbiotic link, this is important as it creates a continuity throughout the
magazine.Other words in the sub titles are curved and curled to give a handwritten
3. effect, this is used throughout the magazine and creates a girly feel which would appeal
to the teenage girl TA. In two of the boxes, the word love has been replaced with a red
heart shape, this takes away the text to make a more visual look and to make it look
exciting and interesting compared to all text. The heart shape is also extremely feminine
and would be adored by the TA.
The top right box labelled '3D posters' is different to the other five as it is written in a
plain white display font unlike the others which have a script effect. This is so it stands
out compared to the others, this is because the information inside the box is not related
to a specific page of the magazine like the other boxes. It is for the reader to read and
understand. It explains how some of the posters the magazine includes are 3D,
therefore the reader can use their 3D glasses to see them. The text effect on the word
‘3D’ makes it look 3D. The effect of seeing the posters in 3D is a fun and practical way to
get involved with the magazine, almost like the magazine is coming to life. The use of 3D
would appeal to a younger target audience as they would be interested in the latest
gadgets and technology as it is a fun way to get involved and it is something new and
interesting. From this, they are able to see their artists come to life also, like they are
closer to them.
This creates entertainment for the reader as this is something fun and different which
many other music magazines may not include. This fun feature of the magazine would
increase popularity of their young teen audience as they would be intrigued by anything
new and exciting! This would also link to the entertainment factor out of the five
benefits by Blumler and Katz.
The first box is titled 'We heart shopping'. By saying ‘we love...’ on the sub-heads so
often, it emphasizes the importance of these things in the minds of the magazine and
the reader and also shows the shared interest between the mag and its reader. As ‘We
Love Shopping’ sub-headline comes first, notes the importance of fashion in the eyes of
the magazine and its audiences and indicating that, in this magazine, music is not the
chief priority.The magazine’s passion for these things could urge the audience to love
them more, as the audience respects the opinion of the magazine and how it rates
things will be likely to rate how they rate things. This would appeal to the TA as it is
stereotypically stated that lots of young girls and women would be interesting in
shopping and clothes, therefore, it is important that a fun, young and girly music
magazine features a fashion section. The fashion section indicates that this is different
to the usual music magazine’s aimed at men.This would attract those interested in
fashion and increase the magazines sales. It is also a convention for pop music
magazines to feature a fashion section. One of the features of this section is ‘steal The
Saturdays style’. The use of the word ‘steal’ is important, as it suggests that the
Saturday’s style secrets are there for the taking.
4. It includes headlines such as 'High street Hotlist' which would appeal to young females
as the TA would enjoy going shopping with groups of friends in their spare time. Also the
alliteration gives a chatty and catchy feel. Another headline is 'Steal the saturdays style'
the fact the magazine includes a section of how to dress like a popular pop band many
young girls look up to is important as they would look up to them as role models and
would want to be like them, this is also typical for a pop magazine to include as it would
increase sales. Finally, the fact there is a section named 'Loving your look' shows how
the magazine includes style tips from readers of the magazine is important as it shows
how it cares about its readers. The TA would love this as it would make them want to
read this magazine more as they feel part of a big group of other girls who read the
magazine. At the bottom of this box contains images of clothes and makeup to take
away the pure text which is included to make it appear more visual and interesting to
look at, next to the images is the page number which is a common in music magazines
as some may not want to read the contents page, they might be more interested in the
images, again linking to easy access.
Next to this is a box titled 'All about you'. The fact there is a section dedicated all to the
reader makes it appear more personal and interesting for the reader. It contains a quiz
which gives the magazine an interaction section where the reader can get involved, this
links to Blumler and Katz five benefits, this one being the social interaction element. It
links to social interaction as it gives a chance for the reader to get involved with the
magazine, the magazine being the interviewer. The real life story would interest and
educate the reader which again links to the education and information benefit made by
Blumler and Katz.
The 'Wins & Offers' section gives the reader a chance to get involved, it creates a sense
of fun, excitement and intrigue. This is also an example of Blumler and Katz five benefits,
this one being entertainment. All of the information inside the box links to the interests
of the TA, young teens would enjoy the shop 'Claires' therefore the 20% off voucher
would appeal to them and make them want to get involved with the competition to win
this, which would increase sales. The Claire’s vouchers also indicate the age, monetary
status and interests of TA. The TA would also be fans of the huge boy pop band One
Direction so the chance to win their dolls signed by the band themselves would create
big excitement and interest. The chance to win competitions in music magazines is
common, as the competitions included tend to be linked to the interests of those who
enjoy this particular genre of music, in this case the signed dolls by One Direction is
typical to see in a pop music magazine as it suits the style of music the magazine is
based on. Next to the box is an image of One Direction holding their dolls, this creates a
symbiotic link to the text, and would appeal to the One Direction fans. On the contents
5. page the band are referred to as '1D' this is a shortened version of the bands name,
which is commonly used by their fans, therefore this gives the fans a chance to all come
together and would attract them to buy the magazine.
In the image, One Direction appear their typical cheeky selves. They are all casually
dressed to show they’re relaxed and chilled personality. Yet, as they wear colours such
as blues, oranges and whites it reminds us of their fun and bubbly characteristics. The
direct address, alongside their cheesy grins makes the magazine seeminviting and
welcoming to the reader. Also, the group are positioned into a close bundle with one
another, highlighting their friendship and bond with each other, like the bond the
magazine has with it’s target audience.
Finally, the 'Celebs & Gossip' section is common for pop magazines as they tend to be
filled throughout with up to date gossip from their favourite celebrity stars. Young girls
also tend to enjoy lots of gossip, this is common as loyal members of 'Top Of The Pops'
magazine would keep buying the magazine to keep up with the latest gossip. The fact it
has shortened the word celebrity again, adds to the chatty and friendly feel the TA can
understand and find interesting.
The mode of address throughout this contents page is very chatty and is written in a
friendly tone which a young audience would appeal to. The words used are words a girly
teen audience would use when speaking with friends and when interacting with them
through social networking or texting. Abbreviations such as 'OMG' and words such as
'oops' 'celebs' and 'snaps' are just some of the chatty words used throughout the
magazine, this gives it a fun and informal tone. It also contains lots of direct address
using words like 'your' and 'you' make it appear more personal and friendly as if it is
speaking directly to the reader. Even the images included, each celebrity is looking into
the camera to make it appear that they are looking at them which would draw the
reader into reading more.
Overall, the colours used on the contents page are pinks and yellows. These are
feminine, bubbly colours which link with the brand identity of the magazine. It also
connotes the idea of Summer and flowers, which again is another touch of femininity
and decoration. The colours are not overpowering or demanding, highlighting that
although the magazine aims to approach the idea of fun and jam-packed gossip, it is also
sensitive and calming like a friend. This is shown through the contents sitting on a plain
white background, this is also so the text can be seen and read properly, giving the
contents page a professional approach. Each of the text boxes have been decorated
delicately with colour, they have been given a dip-dye effect of the top of each box
being a dark pink fading into white. This creates elegance and a girly feel, which the TA
6. would appeal to. It also shows how the magazine takes pride in appearance and making
sure there magazine is presentable, linking to their target audience as they too would
take pride in their femininity and appearance.
Certain words and numbers have been highlighted in yellow, giving it a scrapbook effect,
linking to their friendly personal feel it gives to its target audience. It also shows how the
use of colour can draw the reader to that particular element of the magazine. The use of
colour throughout the contents page allows it to look presentable and professional,
giving a sense of continuity and care.
Not only is the use of colour from the text, but also through the use of images. By
inserting images onto the contents page, it adds a sense of freshness and vibrancy as it
is not always just the same colours running throughout. This links to the brand identity
of the magazine, as not only does it aim to provide juicy gossip and fashion tips,it also
provides elements of involvement and fun with their target audience.
