I analysed a top of the pops magazine cover as this was what originally wanted my genre to be in the style of. After anaylzing this magazine it showed that it needed to be crowded with images of young girls favourite pop bands and celebrities as this is what would grab their attention the most. They have quotes from some of the celebrities so that it will make them want to find out about them and get the latest 'gossip'. This magazine also has a large image in the centre of a good looking boy which young girls love so that it will make them want to buy this magazine as their favourite artist is on it.
They have a real like story on the front saying 'Hooked on alcohol... age 13!', this is good as children who buy the magazine will read it and it will make them realise that is not something they want to happen to them. Having all of the images of the latest boy bands attracts young girls as they are likely to cut out the pictures and keep them. There is also a section on the front cover with '12 star looks to steal' this is by cheryl cole who some girls may see as their idol as she is stylish so will want to read this so that they can be like her. The background to this magazine is bright pink which is good as it is targeted at girls and pink is normally a girls favourite colour. Overall i think this magazine is very appealing to young girls as it has images that will target that specific audience and also stories which will be intriguing for girls.
This is my analysis of the KERRANG magazine. It used bold writing for the masterhead so that customers will see the title straight away. There is a large image of two men which shows the audience that they will be the main target within this magazine. There are also quotes on the front page so that you know there is likely to be an interview inside with the singers that are photographed on the front. There are images at the bottom of the front cover so that you will see there are posters and attract customers to buying it. There is also the date by the barcode so that the customers know what issue they are buying.
This is my school prospectus for St.Marks sixth form. I made sure that i stated it was for the sixth form so that students coming to the school would know that it would be for them. I made sure that i had the business and enterprise logo on the cover of the school prospectus so that that new students know this is what the school specialises in. I had an image of an establishing shot of the front of the school so that new students coming to the school will recognise it when they come to st.marks. I also took a picture of the new sixth form block which is an establishing shot to show where the students will be situated and will study. I had a medium close up shot of a student using the tools in graphics to show the new students what they could do and it shows what the students do at St.Marks. I also made sure that i got a quote from ofsted so that parents will see the good feedback on the school and this means that the parents know what they are sending their child to. I didn't think my design for my prospectus was that bad for my first time properly using photoshop. However, i am hoping that when i do my music magazine my photoshop skills will improve.
