Chloe Martin.
Target Audience: 16-30 year olds (a wider audience range). People that are interested in pop/rock music. For both
males and females.
Image: The image on the front cover is of Adele therefore people who read
this magazine are probably interested in pop/rock music. Someone who is a fan of Adele is more likely to buy this magazine because they want to see what she has said in her interview.
This image is a close up shot, mainly of Adele’s face which adds drama to the
front cover.
Main cover line: “Adele blows us away”, this is the main cover line, we can tell because it is linked with the main image on the front cover. The word ‘Adele’ is in upper case letters,
this makes it stand out and tells people who don’t know who the image is of,
who it is.
Title: Q, short title makes the magazine easy to remember. The title is
a letter and this makes the magazine more quirky and edgy. The colours used also make this magazine stand out as it uses a bright red and contrasting white.
Cover lines: The cover lines on the front cover are mainly to do with rock
music which fits in with the sort of audience that this magazine is aimed
at. They also fit in with the colour scheme of the magazine (reds, whites
and blacks) . They are all uppercase letters, this makes them stand out and are clear to read and see if it was to be
on the shelf of a shop.
Price: £3.90, this makes the magazine affordable for the target audience that it is aimed at as they should be working at this age or slightly younger readers
could spend their pocket money on it.
Tagline: “Discover great music”, this tagline draws us to buy the magazine as it hints to us that ‘great’ music is
going to be inside.
Colour: The colour that ‘Q’ magazine always tends to use is red. The
connotations of the colour red are daring, dangerous and quite sexual. the way the logo is in the colour red makes it stand out more and would be more
noticeable when on the shelf of a shop. The colours used also related to the
target audience of the magazine as the primary colours make the magazine
have a more grown up feel to it.
Language: The language used in this magazine is quite informal, the words “stash” and “bum” in the cover lines tell me this.
Chloe Martin.
Target Audience: 16-25 year olds. People that are interest in Rap/R’n’B/ Hip-Hop music. For both males and
females.
Image: Nicki Minaj is on the front cover of this magazine therefore this
tells us that it is an rap/r’n’b magazine. The clothing on Nicki Minaj is ‘princess like’ implying that she is the princess of
rap. Someone who is a fan of Nicki Minaj is more likely to buy this
magazine because they want to see what she has said in her interview.
Cover lines: The other cover lines on this front cover are mainly to do with
rap/r’n’b/hip-hop music which is related to the title of the magazine. All of the cover lines font are upper case which draws attention to them. They
are all in black writing which again makes them stand out as it contrasts
with the white background.
Title: ‘VIBE’ this implies that this magazine is about r’n’b, rap and hip-hop music. This makes the magazine
seem edgy with its unusual name. This title is in upper case letters, in an
orange, bold font making it stand out especially if it was on a shop shelf.
Main cover line: “Nicki Minaj”, this is the main cover line . This does not give anything away to as what the article on
Nicki Minaj is going to be about, therefore this makes someone want to buy the magazine to find out what the article is about, especially if they are a
fan of Nicki Minaj. The name ‘Nicki Minaj’ stands out as it is in uppercase,
bold text which grabs the readers attention.
Price:
Tagline: This magazine does not have a tagline.
Colour: All of the colours used on this front cover of VIBE magazine, the
colours used are a bright orange colour with contrasting white and black. The orange stands out against the white
background and has a feel good factor to it.
Language: The language used in this magazine is informal, I can tell this because it uses slang, for example ‘kicks’ instead of shoes.
Chloe Martin.
Target Audience: The target audience for this magazine would be aimed at
16-25 year olds as it has a ‘young’ feel to it. The sorts of music that they
would be interested in would be the latest hits including; pop, rock, electric, country and alternative. For both males
and females.
Image: The image used on the front cover of this magazine is of Lady GaGa
and very much so contrast with the background, especially her brightly
coloured hair and make up. Because it is Lady GaGa on the front of this magazine cover it tell us that this
magazine is going to include pop music. Someone who is a fan of Lady GaGa is
more likely to buy this magazine because they want to see what she has
said in her interview.
Cover line: The main cover line of this magazine front cover is “Lady GaGa, How she writes top hits”, this tells us
that in the article based on Lady GaGa we are going to find out how she writes her songs. This encourages someone to buy the magazine as they hint to what
is going to be in the article.
Title: ‘Billboard’, this implies to me that this magazine includes the latest trend and popular music. The colours
used in the title are quite dull and therefore is less likely to stand out, however, some of the letters have
bright colours in them and this is what draws the attention to a reader.
Cover lines: The cover lines on this front cover are all to do with the types
of music that the target audience would be interested in (pop, rock, country etc.). The most important
things that may draw a reader to this magazine are in bold upper case letters, suggesting that they may feature more
inside the magazine than other features. They are in black, grey and
white writing with sort of makes them blend in with the background but this
makes the image stand out even more.
Price:
Tagline: The tagline used on this front cover is “The Music, The Money, The
Market Share”, these are all things that the target audience are interested in and again this draws the reader into
buying the magazine.
Colour: The colours used on the front cover of this magazine all fit together
well, the uses of dark coloured background and font make the more
important things stand out on this front cover, for example, Lady GaGa’s bright purple hair. This grabs the attention of the reader instantly as we are drawn to look at Lady GaGa’s hair straight away. The colours used relate to the slightly odd pop culture that Lady GaGa has.
Language: The language used in this magazine is slightly formal, however, not too formal to make you not feel at ease reading the
magazine.
