Task 2 Magazine and Audience

Example 1

• Masthead- Title/name of the magazine.
• Main Images- A full page image of a celebrity who is going to be inside the magazine.
• Cover lines- one liners, snippets of information in relation to whats in the magazine.
• Pullout- an extra magazine inside the main one, usually with a different name and theme but still running in the same way.
• Selling line or tag line- a caption/slogan that sits just under the masthead.
• Bar code- sits on a corner or side out of the way.
• Date- release date or season.
• Issue number- generally for collectors, there can be a important issue number eg. 100, 150.
• Main cover line- goes with main image, suggests what the celebrity in is the magazine for.
• Left third- huge selling point as its the only bit you really see in a magazine stand, masthead must start here.
• Quotes- small sentences from some articles to entice the reader.
• Colour scheme- consistent colours used, gives it a style and makes it recognisable.
• Price- Usually next to bar code and issue number.
• Font- keeps the same all the way through to keep it simple.
• Web page- maybe a link to the official web page of the magazine.
• High Profile People- a handful of celebrities to feature, a variety but still in keeping with the tone of the magazine.
• Direct address- use of 'you', and the main image model looking straight down the camera, optical illusion of them looking directly at you.
• Banner-Optional, along the bottom of the cover with a list of articles, people, competitions etc.
