This front cover is of the Empire cinema magazine. Aside
from the obvious header at the top and the buzzwords
used like “massive” and “special”, this magazine has been
developed with small specific detail, and does so to attract
a certain type of reader, or even viewer.
For example, the use of the pull quote “Bloody Hell!” to
attract the readers attention. The term “Bloody Hell!” is a
term that most people associate with Ron Weasley in
Harry Potter, therefore people who are Harry Potter fans
will be attracted to this and flip straight to the article
(especially since their attention would have originally been
pulled in by the picture of Harry Potter on the front.)
Aside from the theme of Harry Potter, there are also
various plugs of other movies on show, along with some
graphic features. This is done so that not only the Harry
Potter fans are engaged with the magazine, but the whole
primary audience too. We could suggest that Empire has
gathered quantitive evidence that shows Harry Potter to
be the most popular film at the point the magazine was
created.
Furthermore, there is use of buzz words in the phrase “46
movies you need to know about right now!”. The style this
is written in gives the reader a sense of urgency – that
these are THE new movies that you NEED to know about.
Vibe is a completely different target audience looking for
an entirely different UPB. Eminem is shown as the central
image to the front cover of the magazine and looks
relatively menacing. This is to appeal to the primary
audience of rap-hungry adolescents/young men. I would
make an educated guess of the target audience being
from about 15-23. Instead of using lots of exciting g buzz
words like ‘fantastic’ or ‘special’, Vibe seems to mention
more realistic and down to earth words “valium” and
“died” to give the reader juicy pieces of information that
intrigue. A high class celebrity like Eminem is sat next to
buzzwords like “Valium” and pull quotes like “literally
almost died” to provoke a sense of worry from the target
audience (people who saw Eminem’s face on the cover.)
They could also be classed as teasers, as they provoke a
sense of worry and therefore interest in the reader. In
addition to this, small techniques like the alliteration from
“COMES CLEAN” gives the reader a feeling that the
answers in this interview are legitimate and in no way a
lie.
We could imagine Vibe being the magazine at the
forefront of rap and the one that would supply the most
coverage to the countries rap-loving population.
