The magazine I will be studying will be football magazine that is for
children around the ages of 4-12 which is called Match of the day.
This magazine was made for children to enjoy the sport that they love and
they can read about there favourite footballers and they can play games,
this is a fun magazine for kids.
GENRE
This magazine is a weekly magazine that comes out for
children with different types of toys. The magazine is all about
today and how about football starts life style and also about
footballers goals and if they would be moving to a different
team ect.
It is a sport magazine and also biography because of football
players
TARGET READERSHIP
The target readership of this magazine is for children that are 4-
10 because there are many activity's that the children of that age
would like and it targeted at boys and most boys love football and
have a footballer they might like that they can read about.
CONTENTS
The content in this magazine is are:
- Interviews
- Games
- Goals of the week
- Top football new
- Advertisements of sports company's such as Nike, Addis's and
other well known company's that’s have a part in football
- There isn't a contents page for the print base version but for the
version there is a contents page for this magazine.
THE FRONT COVERIn the front page it shows the main footballer of the week where in this picture it is
Ronaldo and on the side we can see all the other main story's.
As the main footballer is on the front page this will attracted a lot of young people
because everyone knows that Ronaldo is the best player in the world and a lot of young
people want to be like him so this will get people to buy it because they can see what there
idol had been saying or what has been there greatest moments of the week.
The colours are much more bright with yellow and the red headline which stands out and
most of the colours used are most of all the colour that young boys would like that is why it
used in the magazine.
There is also the bbc logo in the corner showing what is this magazine based on because
match of the day is originally a TV programme that shows what's going on in the football
industry from top matches, transfers and other football news because it’s a late night show
kids wont get to watch it that is why the magazine was made for children to keep up with
what's going on with there idols or favourite teams
ARTICLE/FEATURE
Most the articles are about footballers and with this magazine it was
about all footballers where they have transferred to which the pages are
colour to the teams they were in and the ones they are going in.
The pages in also set with a big picture of the footballer with a small
amount of next to it unless it is one of the biggest transfers ever done
then there will be a whole article about them.
The written style for magazine is big bold and for the actually article it
is either white, black, red or yellow writing because its the same colour
as the logo.
This is suited to the target audience because most of the people
reading the magazine are young and it is easier for people at that age
will be easier for them to read.
ADVERTISING
This magazine advertises little business that do football activity's
for kids and in this magazine this was about a keepy uppy contest.
The advert includes a child keeping up the ball which shows the
contest and it also promotes the magazine it self telling us what is
inside of the magazine and what to expected
This relates because many young people mostly boys are in
football teams or want something to do on the weekend and they
want to compete in sport which helps them connect to there target
audience
The colours in the advert and articles are the same by having the
same colours as the articles them self and there also the same by
that the bold writing and how it gets your attention straight away
