Vibe magazine research

The mode of address of this magazine is direct because Cheryl is looking straight at the customer giving them eye contact. This makes it more appealing because its like Cheryl is drawing the customer in to read the magazine.

The image connotes the theme of a girly girl. It makes her look innocent and attractive. This image would appeal more towards the female than the male because the image is more towards her wearing the clothes than about herself. The anchorage tells me this. The mis en scene of the magazine cover is bright but also attractive and pretty. This is because of the facial expressions and the baby pink on the cover. This would apply to the audience because the audience would be for SCRUMMY on the audience by Acronym. It could also be SWELL. 1

In this magazine Emma Stone is represented as a smiley cheeky person this is because of her smirk and her body language.

The mode of address is direct because she has eye contact with the customer to draw them in.

The typography of ‘vogue’ is bold and bigger than everything else this is to show that, that is what the magazine is called.

Most viewers would look at Emma Stone and think that she is a flirtatious and sexual girl that wants to draw the men attention. This is stereotype. If you actually look deeper this is a Vogue magazine not a porn magazine. So why would Vogue have a sexual person on their front cover? They obviously think that she is pretty because Vogue is a popular fashion magazine which is aimed mainly for women and to attract them.

The typography is Vogue because they need it to stand out so the audience knows what they are buying. This needs to be three quarters of the magazine so it over takes the other texts.

Rolling stones magazine logo shows that it is a rock magazine because of the typography is classic and old this shows that this rock band is an old rock band. The colour are red which shows that it could a unisex magazine. This is mainly towards the male audience, but it can be for both.

Masthead

Kerrang magazine logo shows that it is a heavy metal magazine because of the black font and the white cracks with in the writing. The audience for this because

Billboard magazine logo shows that it is for both genders because the colours are red, blue, yellow and black. The audience by acronym is DINKY. Although the audience by Socio- ecophy is simple and also shows that it is for both genders. Anomic audience would be People at lowest level of income. The reason why these audience would buy this magazine is because the People at lowest of income would have loads of times on their hands and wouldn’t be busy.

This is where my Masthead is going to be on my magazine. I’ve chosen a conventional place to hopefully attract buyers. The masthead is going to be enlarged so the buyers know what magazine they are reading.

My magazine will have a date and issue number so the buyer will know what issue they are buying. The font will Corbel (body) size 8.

The strapline will appear on both sides of the magazine to promote what is inside the magazine. This will also make customers buy my magazine because they are having a sneak peak on what's inside before opening the magazine.

My image will appear in the middle of the magazine because I want it to be noticeable and the audience can tell what genre it is. I want my image to be big and bold.
