Page 1: Comic front covers analysing

I believe the age range is 6-11 because of all the bold titles and all of the bright colours.

I think that the target audience for this magazine is boys because of the masculine colours and also the quite basic but bold titles and because of all the mischief that Dennis is getting involved in. The colours used connotate that this comic will be more attractive to males.

Dennis seems to be shocked because a man who is probably his father has coming running through the door in hospital gowns and said that he has a baby sister; Dennis doesn’t seem too happy about this because of the reaction of his facial expressions, this connotates that he could have been up to no good cause he seems shocked.

They have put an issue number on to the magazine because this will help the people who collect the magazine and may also attract people to find more issues of the magazine

I think that including a freebee inside the magazine may attract more people to buy the comic because they are getting more for their money

I think that the class that this magazine is aimed at is the children of the people in the social categories from A to C1 because even though the children may not have a lot of money their parents will have more money than the people lower down the list so they will probably buy more for their children

They most likely have not put the publisher on the comic because as it’s a comic aimed at younger children they are not going to be as bothered about who made the comic they are going to care more about the bright colours and pictures that are on the front cover.

The comics front cover is quite likeable because of the bold and bright colours used in the full bleed image but a dislike towards it for girls is that it is rather stereotypical because of all of the colours used.

The font used was a good choice because they stand out and there are not too many words so its simple and eye catching also because of the colours used in the mainstream headings.

I believe that the younger children who are attracted to this comic are mainstreamers because they will probably go with the flow and will get the comic because their friends have bought it.

This comic is obviously aimed at younger generations because of the quite animated and bold bright colours on the front cover of the comic.

Having advertised the 8 extra pages may make the reader feel like they are getting more for their money

Page 2: Comic front covers analysing

I believe that the target audience for this comic is for people aged 12-16 years old because there are more words on the front cover and the colours are not as bold and bright as the Beano comic.

The colours used on the front cover connotate that this front cover will be more attractive for males. They also connotate that there is a lot of anger and hatred between the two colours because of the reds and oranges used.

They have put the publishers name and logo onto the front cover because the target audience may see that the comic was made by marvel and they have read and enjoyed there comics before.

The massive bird man in the full bleed image takes up quite a lot of space, his big wings connotate that he has a lot of strength and power.He is also standing on top of a cactus, this is a low angle shot which connotates that he wants to be in charge and he is more powerful than spider man who is on the floor.

The comics plug may attract other readers apart from the normal marvel comic readers because there may be people who are interested in history and the civil war but also because it says that is a chapter this shows that more than likely there will be more than one comic and will attract the comics collectors.

The price is more expensive compared to the Beano comic because its target audience is older than the target audience for beano as they will have more money.

‘Prey for Life’ is a play on words because the attacker(the bird man) is hunting on his prey(Spiderman) this also connotates that spiderman may be praying for his life to be saved.

Spiderman’s ripped mask connotates that he may want to escape and get away from what he has got himself in to, it also connotates that as he is losing the fight he is trying to save himself from revealing his true identity.

The masthead is bold and bright and stands out from the page compared to the other colours on the page , this will also attract people who have read spiderman magazines before.

Putting the Issue number on the front cover will also attract people who collect spiderman and other marvel comics because it will help them keep track of which issues they have but also if a new buyer has read the magazine and they want to read more they will be able to find other issues.

Spiderman’s looking scared and nervous, his facial expressions connotate that he could be quite vunerable at that point.

In this full bleed image it looks like that the comic book hero is losing one of his many battles, people may be interested as to what really happens

I think that this magazine is aimed at people aged 9 – 12 years old because of the dull colours used.

The chiller font is used to compliment the picture well because it is similar looking to all of the gunk coming out of the nose and eyes.

Putting a plug on the front cover of the comic will attract readers because it is advertising a story which happens within the comic and that way people will be interested as to what happens next

Putting the Issue number on the front cover will attract past readers of the comic and will also help collectors find other comics. The price of the comic is not that expensive, its not as expensive as the other marvel comic ‘Spiderman’ because the target audience for this comic is younger so they wont have as much money as them.

The Masthead of the comic is quite bold and stands out and will be quite attractive towards males; it will also be eye catching too.

I think that the social categories that this comic is aimed at people in the social categories, C1, C2 and D because it’s a reasonable and affordable price.

They have included the publishers logo on the front cover because it may attract other marvel readers who have read their comics before.

This plug advertising the continuing of a past story will attract past issue readers because they may want to read this issue to find out what happens next.

The full bleed image is quite effective as it stands out because of the gruesomeness and the facial expressions have connotations of anger and are trying to make people fearful but also readers may be curious as to what he is and what story is behind it.

Childhood’s end is the name of the magazine

The sharp teeth have connotations of flesh ripping and tearing things apart which could also cause fear

The target audience for this comic cover is girls aged 6 – 10.

I have used pinks and purples for the main colour scheme for this comic because it goes well with the target audience and also represents connotations.

I have put the issue number on the front cover of the comic because it can show that this is a collectors item and that there will be more than one of this comic so people will be interested in reading it again.

I have included the website on the cover because this way people are able to visit the website to find out more information on the comic.

By placing a freebee in the magazine will attract the readers because this way they are getting more for their money.

I have used a doughnut as the main character for my comic because it has connotations of sweetness and children also will like a sweet snack such as a doughnut.

I have put a free trip to Disneyland Paris inside the comic because children would love the chance to win a trip and also it will attract more readers.

I have a bold pink masthead because the colour represents a stereotypical girl and younger females will be attracted by the boldness and it also stands out.

I haven’t included the publishers name because the younger generations would not be interested as to who made the comic but as to what has been included inside and whether there are any free gifts or competitions inside.

I have put the release date of the comic on to the front cover because that way people will be able to know when the release date was and also if people are collecting the comic they will be able to tell which issues they have and which ones they need to collect.I have put a plug on the front cover because this will inform people about what is included inside the comic and if people have read the comic before and enjoyed it then they will also buy it again so will attract past readers.

The font used was a good choice because its bold and stands out so it will be attractive for the readers.

I think that the social class that this magazine is aimed at is children of the people in categories C2, D and E because the comic is affordable for anyone.

I made the magazine an affordable price because it makes it affordable for anyone in working class and also the people who are in higher classes.
