magazine

In my magazine I have used bright colours to catch the audience attention and to show who the target audience is which would be teenage and female, it also looks more professional, the person in the image is looking exactly into the camera which is showing that the magazine is feminine and is a shot of her whole body as that is showing what she is wearing because it is a fashion magazine. i used a light image so that i could use brighter colours like reds golds and blacks to stand out of what is inside the magazine, i put the title in capital letters and in black font to make it stand out and show the readers what the magazine is called as soon as they look at it.

i used a white background so that the main model and the writing will stand out, the magazine looks more professional because i followed some techniques that some famous magazine were using to make their magazine look better. 

i did my magazine in colours and not in black and white too make it look less dull and show more ideas.

3 similar magazine covers

All of these magazines are similar because of the colour contrast they have used in the magazines, the main reason why they are similar is because of how the front page is set up, for example all of the model images are medium close ups but there is only one difference where one of the models is a long shot, there are similar titles on all of the magzines, this is because the creative director has used big, bold and dark coloured fonts including black, red, purple and dark pinks. Overall all of these magazines are similar because they are all fashion magazines so they would be using bright colours and usually having models on the front cover. These magazines are representing the feminine target audience, the colours used are mainly pinks or purples which straight away shows that it is a women's magazine, the way the main models are looking straight into the audience eyes is very feminine and the way they have set out the magazine.

these font ideas would be suitable for my magazine title because the font is meant to attract the female teenage audience and this font will do that because it is has a curly style, and has patterns on the last font, these fonts are more for girls than boys which is the main reason why I chose them because my magazine is for the girl teenage audience and is a fashion magazine, also these fonts will make the magazine stand out which will make people want to buy the magazine, these fonts are relevent to the magazine because fashion is always standing out and so do these fonts.

1 TV Choice ; 1,362,384 ; 4.6%

2 What's on TV ; 1,254,760 ; 0.9%

3 Radio Times ; 951,929 ; -4.0%

I found out that these are the top three magazines, they are the most popular because they are at the right age group, they are a cheaper option for a magazine, they have a variety of information about whats on TV and what you can watch.

The most popular out of the three is the Tv choice because it tells you what is happening in the soap for either eastenders, Coronation street, Emmerdale etc.

99 Q ; 69,535 ; -7.90%

100 National Enquirer - UK Edition ; 69,531 ; -9.10%

ive found out that these are the last three magazines, they are not very popular becuase they don't match the right age group, they might not be as succesful as the others, and they are not as cheap as the top three.
