Double Page Spread Analysis 1

The title of the double page spread is 'Merry Christmurs' this would appeal to the target audience as it is a pun of his name, it gives the magazine a funny feeling and makes it more interesting to read. The white writing on the red background makes it stand out and draws the eyes to the title straight away, similarly the yellow 'Murs!' stands out from the rest of the title drawing the eyes directly to the pun. 

The image of Olly Murs on the right takes up a whole A4 page, this makes it clear to the audience that the article will be all about him. It will appeal to the niche audience as they will want to read all about him and what he has been doing at Christmas. The other images on the page are also of Olly Murs highlighting the fact that the article is all about him. The blue snow flack background also makes the magazine look more appealing and makes Olly stand out more as he is in darker red and blue colours; he stand out but the magazine still looks consistent.

The heading of the article is 'oh it's a jolly 'oliday with Olly and look who's popped along - 1D, Si-Co, Rita Ora and Flackers.' this would appeal to the target audience as they will what to know what is so 'jolly' about it, it leaves the reader wondering. There is also yellow and red highlighting on the things that they want the reader to look at the most, the disorganization of the text and colours on the page make the magazine look more youthful and will attract the target audience.

The main colour scheme is red, blue and yellow these colours are very bright and youthful attracting the audience, they are also in keeping with the christmas theme making the magazine more consistence and therefore more appealing to look at. The Font used is very simple but stands which will make the magazine look professional yet appealing to the eye. 

Double Page Spread Analysis 2

The title of the double page spread is '"do I ever have a casual Friday? "ABSOLUTLY!"' as it is a quote from someone they listen to and it makes the article seem more interesting, this would appeal to the audience as they will want to know what Davey Havok is like on a normal day, they can relate to Davey more as they will so him as more of a normal person rather than a celebrity as he also has casual Fridays just like everyone else does. Below the main title it says 'ahead of their UK tour AFL frontman Davey Havok talks style, celebrity culture and the death of the rock star' this will appeal to the audience as they will want to know his opinions, especially the people who are big fans of AFL and Davey Havok. The niche audience will want to get advice on style, from someone who they look up to and idolise, they will also want to know about his culture and what he thinks about the 'death of the rock star' which will also appeal to the audience as they will be interested in the latest rock news.

By taking up the whole page it lets the audience know that the article is all about him. His tattoos will also appeal to the audience as they will be interested in hard and edgy things such as tattoos. The fact that the only image on the page is Davey makes it clear to the reader that the whole article centres him so they can be clear what to expect. The lights border also gives the magazine a feeling of stardom and makes the overall appearance more interesting to look at, it also makes the image of Davey Havok look more appealing as the lights complement his style and makes him seem more important.  

The font is very neat and organised and will appeal to a more mature audience, it is also very formal and consistent which will attract a more mature audience too, however the different font sizes make the page look more current and gives it a younger feeling which will appeal to a younger audience, by appealing to both a young and older audience the magazine will get more of a larger audience and make the company more money. The colour scheme is quite dull which will appeal to the audience as rock is more of a gothic genre, the more important things are highlighted in pink which is a complete contrast from the dull background and stands out from the dull black and greys, the readers eyes will automatically be drawn to the pink and therefore the most important parts of the article.

Double Page Spread Analysis 3

The Title of the double page spread is '"Girls give me a headache!"' this would attract the audience as a lot of girls will like Justin Bieber and they will want to know why he has said that.

The image of Justin Bieber is on the right and is very large which will draw the audience in, his clothes are red and black which matches the colour scheme of the magazine making it all consistent. The position that he is sitting in is very casual making the reader feel comfortable, you can also see the tattoo on his left arm which say 'believe', this would interest the niche audience as fans will want to be up to date with all his latest activates, it will also appeal to the audience as it might inspire them as fans are very influenced by their idols.

The heading of the article is 'dating drama, family feuds and coping with crazy fans - could good boy JUSTIN have finally gone a little bit bad?' this would attract the audience as its a question, they will want to read on to find out the answer. There is also other questions asked below with Justin's answers which will appeal to the niche audience as they will want to know all of the latest things about him. To the right of he article there is a list of all of Justin's dressing room demands, by placing it there they can be sure the reader will see it as it is next to the end of the article, this will attract the audience as the fans will want to know all about what he likes and the things he does. At the bottom of the page there is a website where you can listen to his latest single, this will appeal to the audience as they will want to be up to date with all his songs.

The colour scheme is red and black, these colours are normally not associated with pop as they are quite hard colours more suited to the rock genre, however it will still appeal to the audience as Justin is wearing the colours and the fans will like what he likes. The font used for the title is quite girly and fun which will appeal to the audience as they will mostly be girls, the main font used for the article is simple, by using a simple font it doesn't distract the reader from the most important parts of the magazine like the images an the title and it keeps the magazine looing professional.

Contents Page Analysis 3

The title of the content page is 'inside the mag...' this would attract the target audience because the '...' leaves suspense and they will want to carry on reading. The diagram of the magazine is very interesting and and gives a more visual representation of the magazine, it gives you all the page numbers of what on the front cover so the audience can go straight to what interests them the most. They have positioned the magazine diagram at the top of the page so it will be one of the first things the reader will see when they open the magazine.

There are five sub-headings 'we love boys', 'Celebs and gossip', 'we love shopping', 'all about you' and 'wins & offers'.

The title of this magazine is 'WE (love) POP' I think this was chosen as the title because by saying 'WE' it makes the audience feel part of a group and supported in your like for 'POP' which is also emphasised by the use of the speech bubble.

My School Magazine

The title of my magazine is 'EEHS WEEKLY' I have chose this as the name of the magazine because it suggests that this magazine will be a weekly issue and the students and teachers can rely on this magazine every week to get the local school news. I chose to use green, yellow, red and  blue for the 'EEHS' part of the title because they are the school colours and people will automatically know which school the magazine belongs to. I used black for the 'WEEKLY' part of the title because black is a professional and serious colour so the audience will be reassured that they can rely on the magazine every week. I also chose to use a interesting but professional font for the title so the magazine looks interesting to appeal to the students but professional so it will appeal to the parents and teachers.

The main image is of a teacher at the school, I chose to use this as the main image as she looks very smart and professional which will appeal to the parents of current and future students as they can be sure that their child is getting a good education, this image will also appeal to the students and teachers as they can relate to it as its an image of someone they all know. I have also used a few smaller pictures which correspond to the feature stories, this would appeal to the target audience as they will know straight away what is going to be in the magazine and it also make the magazine look more interesting and fun which will interest the students more as they are young and fun themselves. Finally I have included the school logo which will let the audience know straight away that the magazine belongs to Epsom and Ewell high school.

The main stories included in the magazine are all stories which would appeal to the niche audience, they are stories about and aimed at the students. The first feature story is 'Outstanding GCSE Results' this would appeal to not only the students but the teachers and parents to so they can see how the school is improving each year, it will appeal to the students too because they can see how everyone did and can be proud of themselves. The second feature story is 'Amazing Prom photos' this will also appeal to the target audience as its about them and what they have achieved. The next feature story is 'Have your say....' each week this would be about different things, in this issue its about the 'school cafĂ©' this story would appeal to the target audience a they get to have their say about issues and things they find important. The final feature story is 'EEHS Sixth Form' this story is aimed at the sixth form this would get the magazine more recognition as it will appeal to a wider audience, it will also appeal to the students interested in the sixth form. I have chose to include 4 main/feature stories on the front rather that one main story so the audience can see straight away what this weeks magazine will be about and it will appeal to a wider range of audience rather that those only interested I the main story. I have also included a competition which will appeal to the target audience as you can win a '£25 iTunes voucher' and young people are very interested in music and an iTunes voucher will appeal to people who like all types of music.

Font Research

I have done some font research for my school magazine title. I have experimented with colour and size to see which fonts stand out the most and and which font would work best with my magazine.

Tuesday 26 November 2013

My School Magazine Planning


My magazine will be called 'EEHS WEEKLY' because it will suggest that the magazine will be a weekly thing that the students and teachers can rely on. 

It will included stories such as:
1. Outstanding GCSE results
2. Prom Drama
3. Have your say.....
4. EEHS Sixth Form 

I have choose these as the feature stories because they are about the students and teachers so they will be more interested in the magazine, I included 'Have your say....' because it will be more interactive for the students and they can express their views about the school.

The images will correspond with the feature stories so the magazine will look relevant and appeal to the target audience and the colour scheme will be the EEHS colours so people will know what school the magazine if from if they see it. I will also use an interesting but professional font because if its interesting it will attract the students and the professional look will attract the teachers and anyone else interested in the school like parents.


Research School Magazine 1




The title of this magazine is 'school weekly' I think they chose this  because it suggests that the magazine will be a weekly addition so the students, the parents and the teachers can rely on the magazine to get an update on the latest news for the school. the title is also red, this makes the magazine stand out as its bold and bright.

The main image is of a girl holding her school books and bag, this makes the audience feel as if the students are hard working and will reassure parents that the school and the students are serious about their education. There are also a few smaller 'Exclusive pictures of year 11 prom', this would appeal to an audience as they can see that after all the hard work the students have done they can celebrate and have fun, they can feel proud.

The main cover story is 'Every year 11 pupil GCSE grades published!' this would definitely stand out on the page because if the school are wiling to publish the results, they must be very good and the school must feel very proud of their students. There is also a section called 'Stressing about exams?' where they offer top 10 tips about how to prepare for exams. This would appeal to all the students as they will be able to get advice without having to specifically ask, which some students are embarrassed to do, it would also appeal to the parents as they can see that the school care about their  children enough to offer this advice.

The colour scheme throughout is red and blue, I think that it works quite well, however its not very interesting and doesn't draw you in, the font is also quite boring yet professional so it looks good however as its a school magazine the students may prefer a more interesting font.
The typical things that are on the front cover is things like the:
  • Date of the issue
  • Title 
  • Cover story
  • A few feature stories 
  • A main image
  • Smaller images






Research School Magazine 2


The title of this magazine is 'THE KING'S SCHOOL', they called the magazine this as that is the name of the school, they have put it in capital letters so it will stand out. The title is also in blue, this would make it look professional and represents the school in a professional way.

The main image used is of a boy, he is in casual clothes which is a contrast to the professional look of the magazine. The fact that he is in casual clothes suggests that the school is very laid back which would appeal to the niche market of young adults, as young people like to dress in casual and comfortable clothes. There is also a smaller image from the school prom which would appeal to the target audience as its about them and they can relate to it, as there is a price of 80p to pay a few more images would be good as it will make the magazine look more interesting.

The story that stands out the most is 'EXAM STRESS!' which is in capital, bold letters. By making this stand out it will really appeal to the target audience as they will be going through it themselves once again they can relate to this. There is also a story on uniform and it says 'the debate is on' suggesting that there is an ongoing feud about this and it also links to the main image of the boy as he isn't really in a uniform. At the bottom there is a story called 'doughnuts in the canteen? Have your say!' This could also be seen as a debate, the fact that they have a lot of debates suggests that the school is very vocal and they let the students have a say in their own education which would appeal to parents or new student who are interested in the school.

The colour scheme is red and blue, I think it works well as it stand out and will appeal to the target audience. The font is quite professional so it suggests that the school is very professional, however there is also a more interesting font at the bottom as its a more quirky story which suggests that the school also have fun which will  appeal to new students.

In the magazine there is all the typical conventions of a magazine such as a:
  • Title 
  • Main image 
  • Date 
  • Cover story 
  • Smaller images and stories
  • Barcode

Research School Magazine 3

The title of the magazine is 'The Griffin' which is the name of the school. I think they chose this as the name because they are very proud of their school, the school can speak for itself. Also calling the magazine the name of the school if others see it they will know where its from. The title is also is in a black, professional font suggesting that the school is very professional.

The main image is of two students smiling, this would appeal to the target audience as it its an image of their friends and piers. The fact that they are smiling makes the school look very inviting and will appeal to others who are interested in the school. There is one smaller logo image of a griffin which represents the school so when you see the logo you will think of the school.

The stories are about the school, there is a few interviews and stories form the students themselves which will appeal to the target audience as they will want to know what their fellow students think about the school and what is going on with the students themselves. There is a part called 'school food: tell us what you think' this would appeal to the target audience as they will have a chance to have there say, it will also appeal to others who are interested in the school as they will see that the school is interested in what the students think.

The main colour scheme is purple and black, it works well because it stands out and looks professional however it looks a bit boring, if the font was more interesting it may appeal to the target audience more as they will be young students.

This magazine also has all the typical conventions of a magazine such as:
  • Title 
  • Main images
  • Feature stories 
However there is no Date or Issue No. which is unusual for a magazine. This magazine also has a competition which would definably appeal to the niche audience as you can win a £15 Itunes voucher and young people are very into music, it would also appeal to a wider range of audience as most people will like some type of music.
