For the preliminary magazine front cover and contents page i analysed well known magazine covers and contents pages to see what vthe layout of these would be.
For example these included the big issue,empire and heat magazine.
Ideas that i saw in these magazines were:
- What type of headline that the magazine had which was generally a large headline with bold subtitles which were there to grab the attention of the person looking at it.
- The magazine had a colourful front page which also was there to grab the attention.
- The picture was large and grabbed attention aswell.
- the price and barcode of the magazine was in the bottom right corner or the bottom left corner of the magazine.
- They generally have a logo in the top right hand corner of there magazine which makes them easily distinguishable from other magazines.
- The colours contrast with the pictures that are shown on the magazine as the person viewed in this case is very easily distinguishable.
For my magazine that i looked at to get information for my first draft of the prelimnary school magazine i used the magazine Empire which is a film review magazine.
