Analysing Front covers of Magazines

 

The Shot type is a Mid Shot that still allows for an impression of the point while not showing the full image.

The White background makes the black trousers pop out more

The image places an emphasis on the males strength by having the muscles stand out more appealing to the male stereotype

The mas head covers the magazines brand name moving into the stereotype that men brake boundaries

The Simplicity of the cover shows that men are more simple and contempt as well as showing how sophisticated men are supposed to be.

The words on the cover such as 'Tough Treadmill Sessions' and 'Transforming your training' shows the male stereotype of him being more focused on the strength.

Discussing Stereotypes.

 

The Dark background of this picture shows the negative light cast on elderly people.

The woman being alone shows the believe that elderly people are lonely

The wallpaper shows the fact they are out of tune

The man wears a suit showing the believe that they are all smart

The man is facing the shot at a angle showing how he is different and independant from the rest

The strong facial expression without emotion shows men as less sensitive and stronger

The women are happy showing how they are perceived to be over the top

They are very enthusiastic showing how they are strong

They are the centre figures in a very focused picture showing the believe that they are the minority

The black clothes of their religion show then in a negative light

There face coverings give the illusion of a shifty composition

The limited amount of skin shows them as almost sub human

The surprise shows poorer people in a less intelligent light

The background graffiti shows how people see them as lawless

The general roughness of the clothing shows the feeling of poverty and lack of caring

The image shows him as prepared

He is clearly more self aware and smart

The clean background shows them as civilised

Codes & Conventions of Magazine Font Covers

 

Need to label the Horrible History's and 1975 magazine front covers like I have done for the images above.

Horrible History's

.The Simplicity of the magazine can appeal to younger people and the cartoony ness of the images helps to make the writing on the front pop out more.

.The red text really stands out on the blue background helping younger audiences to see the work.

.The choice of the colour blue helps to show that the magazine targets boys over girls.

.The lack of text shows a simplicity that is sophisticated.

.The price is clearly shown on the front cover for the ease of the individual.

.The way some text is laid out shows that it is a word spoken by the cartoon characters on the front cover.

.The hat of the male cartoon covers part of the magazines title placing a emphasis on the characters.

.The White and red theme of the righting on the top of the character draws attention to the title.

In Deep With the 1975

.The magazine features a picture of a famous band that the magazine calls the band of the decade.

.'The 50 worst decisions in modern music' is a selling line.

.'The band of the decade gets the bends' is a selling line.

.The magazine shows the picture of the boys hugging in the front and centre, this shows the target audience to be teens and this also inquires intrigue to those who see the front cover.

.The magazine is targeted towards younger adults as the text is more chatty and casual with stories like 'This is worse than the Dentist'.
