The master head is fun and colourful. The writing is enlarged to make it stand out therefore being easier to see. It has elements of the comic within the title such as here: and here:This helps to give you an idea on what the comic is about and adds an element of fun and excitement. Furthermore, we can see-from the use of imagery-who the target audience is. The target audience is children aged 4-13 so the use of colour and humour within the title and images are relevant.
The sub heading stands out to the target audience because it is bright and placed into a bubble which draws your eyes to the bold rhetorical question. The text is readable as blue comes forward from the red; they don’t contrast. The use of the rhetorical question makes the reader want to continue looking through the magazine to find the answer.
The colours used are dark such as the blues, blacks and reds. This suggests that the comic is aimed at males. The use of clever humour and denotation is put into the bowl that Dennis is eating from. It is ‘alphabetti spaghetti’ which spells out ‘LETS MENACE’. Then we see the use of connotation which suggests that the way Dennis is eating makes him look mischievous and humorous which young males tend to be. In addition, the angry parents are then covered in the mess, which we can see fro that he’s creating which shows the stereotype of messy boys.
The comics target audience is young people so it would fit into the income and occupation of grade E.
The headline is pink showing that it is aimed at women. It is enlarged a lot so that people can see the title from far away and recognise the font/name of the magazine. It catches the audiences eye well.
From the large image we see that a celebrity (also a woman) is posing on the front showing that fashion and celebrities are what the magazine is the main genre. Beauty is another main asset of the magazine as we can see from the models makeup. The clothing does not look cheap (this being a connotation) therefore making it more appealing to an audience with an expensive taste. The target audience would be women from an age range of 16+.
The plug matches the colour theme of the masthead showing it to be even more feminist. This is use of a connotation because we see pink as a feminine colour.
The magazines target audience is women on a good income so it would fit into the income and occupation of grade C2, C1, B, A. The price of the magazine is £4.10.
The colours used are soft. A lot of pink is used. However, pink being the main colour for the text helps to bring out the blue in the outfit to emphasise the outfit and the main theme of fashion and appearance. We are then drawn to the model which is what the magazine want us to do.
