My Magazine

Analysis of my Magazine;
In my magazine there is direct mode of address, this is where the cover star is looking directly at the camera giving the effect that the cover star is looking at the audiences almost persuading them to buy it because of the eye contact. I have put the cover stars name in big letters across the picture to either get the viewer to know who she is or if the viewer already knows then having the name in big would attract the audience to see what the story is about her, underneath her name I have put 'blows us away' I have chose to wrote this because it causes slight suspense for the viewer as we do not know what she has actually done to blow us away; this would make the viewer want to read whats inside which gets the magazine to sell. I have put the masthead in the top left hand corner because when it is put on the shelves in stores most of the magazine will be covered apart from that half of it therefore the regular readers will notice it straight away by its masthead; the masthead is very simple as its one letter with a bright red colour in the background, the simplicity of the masthead makes it easier to remember and the bright red draw attention almost like a red warning sign would. I have put a pug at the bottom of the magazine slanting across the cover star because it is quite unusual which would draw attention, the bright yellow colour has been used also because it is not part of the colour scheme which adds to it being unusual. In addition to that having the word 'free' there would help to sell the magazine as the viewers would see it as there getting something 'free' out of it.
