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'.
