Double page spread analysis


In this double page spread the left of it is dominated by a large picture of who the article is about this is probably used to draw the attention of anyone who was to look at it and if they were interested in that particular person then this would mean they would be more intrigued by the article.Also for the main headline on the second part of the article this is also in very large font in order to draw the attention of anyone who was to reads it underneath the headline there is also a f1 car as this gives the reader a general idea of the kind of person they are reading about just by looking at this. Also some of the more important stuff is usually in a different color in order to make it stand out from the rest of the things that are in the article.

Magazine Front Cover Analysis

The target audience for this particular magazine would be males and typically would appeal more to the younger audience. The image is also the most dominant thing in the cover they probably did this as they wanted to be the main focus of it as that sort of image could make someone want to buy it. The font on the magazine cover is big and bold so that it stands out and the main cover line draws the attention as it would be something that a car enthusiast would get excited over. There are also various straplines around the image to give additional information to someone who may read more in depth to the article. There is also alot of puffs on the cover as it uses words such as "Hyperspace" they probably chose to do this as these kind of words would be something you associate with that particular car. The price is also small to not deter the customer to not want to buy it.

Media Concepts

target audience is who the product appeals to and the people who would buy it a example of this would be something like a horror film appealing to people who are a fan of that genre. A genre would be a type of film you can usally spot what genre a film would be in by conventions that may be used in that genre as they will   appear  more frequently in them then any other genre. codes are usally used to symbolise something rather then having to make it blatantly obvious to the audience a example of this would be it being christmas in a film but rather then saying it there would usally be a christmas tree just to show it.Conventions are things that will show up alot more frequently in a particular genre then in any other genre a example of this may be there been a lot of explosions and action packed scenes in a genre like a action movie.
