TEXTUAL ANALYSIS Jordan Chi l ton
FRONT PAGE ANALYSIS 
The layout is very hard to see but the 
masthead of the magazine is in the 
top left and all the cover lines are 
followed down the sides of the 
magazines; the main headline is has 
the typical bold and big sized font to 
catch your eye. The box-out behind the 
masthead makes it more appealing 
and stand out a lot more. The 
celebrities faces are very shocked 
which goes with the headline which is 
"50 moments that shocked our socks 
off!" this is what the intentions were 
for the author of this magazine. 
.As you can also see their cover lines 
and masthead font is very cartoonish 
and youthful, this magazines layout is 
very compacted; it seems it's all 
squeezed into one. They use a number 
of different fonts which is strange for 
a magazine but as its for kids they 
pile everything in and use a number of 
different colours and fonts for it to be 
eye catching to a young audience. 
When analysing this I found that 
they use plenty of images as their 
target audience is clearly for the 
younger generation and young 
people don't like to see loads of 
writing as they lose interest. It is a 
very up to date trend magazine as 
there is an article about loom 
bands which is hugely popular 
with young teenage girls these 
days, also it uses a lure at the 
bottom as it uses words like 
"celebrity, boys, gossip, shopping 
and fashion" which would all be 
words you would link to the target 
audience. 
As you can see there's a lot of male 
genders which is appealing to the 
female gender this is also how you 
its for young girls, also it shows 
Miley Cyrus in a powerful position 
showing her in a positive light 
whereas other magazines show her 
in a negative way. There’s also a sub 
heading saying “hot posters” and 
there’s 3 males and only 1 girls this 
is also telling us they are trying to 
make it appealing to the target 
audience.
CONTENTS PAGE 
The layout of this contents pages is 
spread evenly and presented very 
well. As you can see all the standout 
stories have images with them to 
make them more eye catching they 
are also followed by the page 
number in big font to lure you in; 
another thing used is a quote from 
the article which is a marketing 
strategy used to make you buy the 
magazine. It has a full contents box 
at the bottom showing you the 
different articles and the page 
numbers this is significant as when 
you want to read a certain article you 
can find it really easy. In the lower 
right hand corner it has the web 
address of the magazine which is not 
really important as its in a secluded 
place and not a very big font. The 
main headline has an extra piece of 
text from a personal point of view of 
one of the band members that’s why 
its signed “Emily x”, this is directed 
to a personal fans and audiences. 
The Saturdays image in this is 
represented very sexually which is 
strange considering the target 
audience is young females; it is 
teaching them the wrong thing. Also 
the “Hot Posters” has a boy with no 
top which is very sexual but 
appealing to the target audience this 
is why it is used as a strategy to sell 
and also a majority of the images 
are boys which is clear why the 
author has done it. 
The intended target audience is 
clearly young females, I think this 
due to the colours used and the all 
boy images and a girl pop band. The 
magazine is very boy orientated this 
used to make it appealing for the 
intended target audience.
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD 
This double page spread has a 
simple layout of a large image (this 
is used to automatically attract 
audiences as he is like ‘eye candy’) 
and then sub images with the main 
article to the right, also as you can 
see the main image is the person 
being interviewed. The title of the 
article is a standout quote from 
interview which is used to attract 
audience straight in as you want to 
read more about why he said it. The 
colour scheme all blend well and he 
uses different colours for the answer 
and question this is done so its clear 
which is which and makes it more 
presentable. As you can also see 
there is a competition in the lower 
right corner they’ve used a massive 
bold heading saying “WIN!” which is 
used to attract audiences. 
The representation is very important in this as Justin Bieber is used to 
attract the intended target audience as he is hugely popular and 
attractive to teenage girls. He is an iconic figure for the young girls so 
they buy the magazine, this is what the author intended to do so the 
magazine would sell. The target audience is for clearly young female 
girls, we know this by the colours and the celebrities used; as Justin 
Bieber and Selena Gomez are hugely popular celebrities to young 
teenage boys and girls so this is why they are used as they know they 
story will sell.
