Analysis for three magazines.

The first magazine I looked at was Whitelines snowboarding magazine, I read this magazine personally and know that its a monthly release and has a very high quality of content and materials used to make it.The front page that you can see has the title clearly visible at the top of the page, the title also has similar colour to the overall colour of the front page.It is focused mainly on one picture of the snowboarder and lacks much else added other then the bar code, title and some idea of the contents.This shows that it is a magazine focused on just one thing, snowboarding.

Furthermore, the audience is mainly directed towards young adults and teenagers as shown by the type of person on the front cover.The title Whitelines suggests that it has something to do with snow and creating with snow.

Compared to the previous magazine heat is a weekly magazine, this means not as much content or quality is put into it, it is meant to be up to date news on the latest goings on of celebrity's.The title is very vibrant and large, (this may be because of other similar magazines). There are certain plugs to catch the viewer such as"scandal" and alternate colours for key gossip, also there is the doctors reference that is dramatic and again in alternate colour for "this is really serious".The magazine makes use of a variety of contrasting colours to help stand out. There is a picture of Victoria Beckham that many people will recognize from the media, this furthers interest.There is also a smaller picture in a place where the eye naturally goes to.









This magazine is similar in layout to the snowboarding magazine, the title is very large and at the top showing what the magazine is intended for.The picture is set predominately on the cover,it takes up most of the page.The cover is also helping to promote cutting down on pollution, this can be shown visually with the leaf, it also has a overall green theme on the front page, the sub heading "green issue" helps enforce this.

The audience for this magazine will most likely be of the younger generation, as the surfer show suggests.The way the image is shown shows it in action, making the reader more inclined to pick it up and read it.
