1. The model covers the a
whole page showing he is
the main article. The
smoke tries to use
stereotypes to show he’s a
modern musician. Also it
tries to make him look
‘cool’. The shot used is a
close up.
The writing is in the bottom half of
the right page. The font is quite
small and hard to read which isn’t
ideal for any magazine.
The colour scheme is yellow
black and white
The target audience would be aimed at people aged 14-21 and people who would be interested in this genre of music.
2. The text is quite small which isn’t
ideal to read. The use of the red
text helps it to stand out. This is
because the highlighted areas
are questions and its shows them
clearly to the reader. Also the
writing is place on either side of
the double page spread.
The model goes across the middle of the double page
spread and her clothing matches the colour scheme
of the double page spread.
The colour scheme is quite
gloomy, the red, black and white.
This suggests that the magazine
is trying to give the model a
serious feel, leading on to the
article being a serious article.
The target audience would be for ages between 16-25 and people who are a fan of this artist.
3. The models cover most of the
double page spread. This is to
symbolize that they are the
main point of the article. The
shot used would be a close up.
The use of the prop guitar
clearly shows the reader that
they are a band.
The writing is placed on the right side
of the double page spread the font is
quite plain and black. The title is in
bold to show who the article is about.
Also a key quote is written in blue.
This shows it is a key piece of
information for the article as is
stands out compared to the rest of
the text.
The colour scheme is very plain. It
consists of white, creamy off white
and some blue. This gives a messy
or tatty effect to the double page
spread as the colours look as if
they have faded or are really old.
The target audience would be 16-25 and for people who are fans of the band.
4. The model has a sort of confused look
on her face, (again linking to the title)
also the position of her hand on her
head can symbolise she is thinking.
Also the close up shot used gives a
clearer view of who she is and what
she is doing
The title is bold allowing it to stand out and
use of the different colour in ‘Steps To
Heaven’ could be seen as giving heaven a
negative effect as ‘heaven’ would usually be
associated with white and positive
connotations, however the title changes it
into black therefore possibly giving it a
negative look, or trying to confuse the reader.
The writing is placed on the right hand side
and along the bottom in italic print.
The colour scheme is very plain.
No bright colours are used to
give the article a cheerier look.
Only black and white is used.
The target audience would be around 16-25 year olds and fans of the artist.
5. The writing is placed on right page the double page
spread. It is split into sections based on different
subjects, these subjects are in a different colour in
order to make them stand out at to show what the
article’s about at a first glance. Also it has a hand
written looking font which could suggest that it is a
rather laid back interview about everyday subjects.
The colour scheme is simple
yet effective. The use of the
plain white background and
the pink boxes and font is
helpful as the really
important information is
highlighted by the use of the
pink.
The model covers a whole page symbolizing
that he is the main topic on the double page.
The title ‘this is the world according to example’
and the model leaning over looking like he is
about to whisper, could both show that in the
article, he tells us stories about himself and
secrets.
The target audience would be for 13-18 year olds due to the more gossip like article and design of the double page spread.
6. The writing is placed all over the
pages. They are spilt into sections
with bold headings to show what the
article is about . Also there is a area
which is highlighted by a different
shade of pink which have key
information in it which stands out,
and the black and white writing helps
it to. Also the title ‘the gospel
according to Nicki Minaj’ shows that
this would be more a gossip
interview than anything serious.
The model is quite large on the
double page spread. She is wearing
unusual clothing and has a strange
face expression in order to catch
the eye of the reader. Also her arm
covers her name which show that
she is a big artist as all of her name
isn’t need to be seen to know who
she is.
The colour scheme is quite
feminine, the use of the shades
of pink may attract female
readers and it also its may
suggest what the article
contains.
The target audience would be for 13-18 year olds and mainly aimed at girls.
7. The writing is all placed on the left page
of the double page spread. It has red
texts on top of normal black paragraphs
which suggests that it is a Q&A article.
Also the title in the large title catches
the eye and the rather formal font
suggests the article is a formal and
serious Q&A rather than just gossip.
The colour scheme is simple but
makes the article look clear. The
use of the red make the key
information stand out from the
white background.
The model covers on whole page. The
producer of the magazine try to
advertise the model as well as they
can because he is very famous. This
will make people who are fans of him
want to read this magazine.
The target audience would be for 13-18 year olds because of who the article is about
8. The theme used is just red and
white. Not much red is used in
the actual text except to
highlight who the model is. Also
the red fade look could
symbolize anger and show the
phrase ‘the red smoke’.
The model covers one page of the double
page spread. The shot used is a close up.
The red shading used matches the colour
scheme of the pages. Also he comes
across as angry so this could show what
the article is about.
The text is all on the right of the double
page spread. The writing is in big
paragraphs which suggests the article
would be more of a story or a report.
Also the use of the bold capital letters
help show when a new important
paragraph starts.
