Magazine Analysis 1


Most of the cover is a image with writing incorparated
in to the cover making the image stand out. The image would appeal
to students because the image would pull them in as
they are more likely to look at an image first instead of
a load of text.

The colours of the magazine are bold and eye catching
as the white of the text stand out against the greens,
pinks and blues of the graffiti featured in the image.

I think this would appeal more towards the female
audience as the main person is a girl and looks like
she is very fashionable.

the main story of the magazine is the boldest text
with the other storys beneath in still a bold text but
smaller font size with little bits of imforantion
underneath.

The language of the magazine would be more of a
slang type language as that’s what younger people
tend to use and they might be more inclinded to
buy the magazine if it was more their language.



The contents page is a brillent bright orange

With white text that stands out against it
Making it more readable and this pulls in the
Eyes more making you want to read it.

The image in the centre of the pages looks
Like it has been drawn by, most probably,
By one of the students that might read this
Magazine.

On the left you have a bit of imformation
About the magazine like who wrote it,
Where its published and who featured
In it

On the right you have the contents of
Articals that feature with in the magazine
So if you where only interested in one you
Can just skip to that page.
