1/8

Colour: Bright pinks yellows & blues areused as they are eye-catching, they standout

and the create a happy and girly atmosphere

which connects with the target audience. They

are inviting colours which make the reader

want to see inside.

Design: The image is of One Direction which the

target audience (teenage girls) are completelyobsessed with. The puff is linked to the image

using the buzz word WIN, this will make the

reader want to win the t-shirts because they are

associated with One Direction. Also capital letters

are used for cover lines to convey that that is the

most important information on the cover. The

word unleashed creates excitement making the

readers want to find out more. They use informal

lexis e.g. phew this is associated with the

target audience and creates a humorous friendlyinviting atmosphere.

Images: The main image is of One Direction, these boysattract the reader because they are seen as attractive and

girls desperately want to meet them. This also links to the

main story, you are getting to know them so the readers

feel on a more personal level. There is also images of the

poster which are included inside, therefore if the reader

wants that poster they will buy the magazine.

Pose, style, hair, makeup: The poses of the modelsare all happy and cheeky which creates a fun and happy

mood. They are very fashionable, it is what the target

audience would want boys their age to wear so therefore

is appealing. In addition all of the hair is different, this

could create an opinion where the reader chooses which

one they prefer which again creates a more personallevel. Their skin is clear which highlights their perfection.

I do not think they have made it very

clear that it is the contents page because

the word contents is in plain black and

They have added a picture of the

front cover to analyse, this is a greatskill because then if you only want

to find one thing on the front cover

then it gives you a direct page

it quick, simple and easy which is

addition older people would not be interested either because it is all ver

The images appeal to the

reader, the magazine has

images of what the reader

might buy when they are out

shopping, this conveys that

they are representing the

reader.

Funny captions are used to add humour and

create a light hearted atmosphere. This

double page spread is mainly about mocking

celebrities, this is very humorous and the

reader feels on a personal level with them. It

isnt a serious topic which portrays that this

isnt a serious corporate magazine.

The overall impression of this double page

spread is that it is designed for people who

are celebrity mad and like to keep up to

date with that world, but not only the good

news, the funny news too. This draws in

readers because the artists and celebrities

are representing them.

Colour: The red background connotes to

is the target audience. The yellow connotes

to dangerous which is possibly how they like

to be perceived. The cover gives off a dark

mysterious mood which reflects the target

audience. The masthead is yellow which is

harsh on the eyes but grabs your attention

and stands out.Design: Bite is symbolised by the two

Rottweiler's with their mouths open, these

have connotations of danger which interests

the reader. The capital letters grab the

attention of the reader, it highlights the

importance and interests the reader.

Images: The Of mice and men band member

has tattoos, this could represents what the

reader would like to aspire to be like.

Image: Again the Rottweilers symbolise riskand danger which is how emos like to be

perceived. The main image is a long shot,

this is challenging conventions because it is

normally a medium close up, however it

works as he is a slim, well groomed man.

Pose, style, hair and makeup: The pose of the

model is camp and he is protected by dogs

which are seen as scary. One image is of a

man screaming, this could be foreshadowing

that the information inside the magazine isabout screamo.

5/8

Colour: The main colour theme of yellow and

red is carried through to the contents page,

the titles are yellow and page numbers red, I

think this is a good consistency and creates a

theme and house style. The background is

white which could be perceived as boring

however I think this works well because if it

was a bright colour there would be too much

going on, however if it was a pastel colour itwouldnt fit in with the overall impression of

the magazine.

Images: The theme of danger is continued

through the picture of the Rottweiler,

however there are glasses added on to add

humour to it. All images are landscape or

square, this is because it fits with the house

style and fits to the flat plans dimensions.

Pose, style, hair, make-up: The middle image

conveys a singer (Kellin) performing, this is

used to attract the readers because that is

the sort of concert/gig they would go to. The

main image at the top of the page has direct

eye contact, this brings it down to a personal

level to the reader. It gives the impression

that they too want you to read the magazine.

Colour: Again the colour is consistent, the reds and yellows and been

transferred through to create this feel of a house style. Also the colours are

effective on the page because the picture is all dull colours so you are instantly

drawn to the bright colours which makes you read the headline.

7/8

This magazine has been published since marsh 1952, it was Britain's

best selling music magazine during the seventies and it is still very

popular. It mainly features on indie/rock bangs, for example Arctic

Monkeys, the target audience is young adults and teens.

The main image is relevant to the main cover line, he is dressed quite

smartly which could represent that he is trying to look cool and trendy

as it is his comeback and he wants to make a good impression.

The colours are mainly simple and corporate except the origami birds,

they are yellow and blue which draws attention to him, they could

symbolise his success. The colours of the birds also link to the colour of

the text which creates a good house style.

The design is bold and clear so it can be easily understood, the

important information is underlined. I think to improve the front cover

they should have used bigger font for the cover stories to attract more

attention.
