School Magazine Textual Analysis 1





This is the first magazine I chose to analyse and it has many conventions which make it appealing.
Firstly, the title for this magazine cover is straight to the point and that means it is very easy for buyers to tell that it is a school magazine. Next, there are many different colours used in this front cover and the colours used are very bright and vibrant. Therefore this will appeal to a younger audience so its ideal for a school environment.
Furthermore, there are many different font sizes which help grasp the audiences attention and for example the word "Jitters" they have customised into capital letters so that it it stands out and attracts people so they find it more of a appealing magazine and front cover. 
Also, the picture is really great because it covers nearly all of the page so it is of a generous size and the shot used is a mid shot of the girl because half her body is clearly viewable. Furthermore, the actress having the photo taken she has been directed to look straight into the camera therefore they wanted the photo to represent the girl engaging into the audiences eyes. This will result in more people liking and buying this magazine. 
The font used in this front cover is sans serif which is quite modern and basic so to improve this front cover they could try to experiment with others.
