AS Foundation Portfolio: December 2013

Language: The mast head and all the text on the front cover match either white or yellow to keep within a colour scheme, the writing is also an appropriate colour so it can be read over the colour of the background and the main picture . The main picture of the celebrity is covering the mast head but the masthead of the magazine is the same on every magazine and is a well known title for magazines and is easy to recognise. The model in the main image is looking straight forward at the camera, she isn't smiling or pulling any expression on her face under the picture of her it says her name in bold white writing so it is easy to see who it is underneath her name it says 'the queen of teen grows up' so she is stood looking straight at the camera to show she has grown up and she is more mature and dominant. She is also holding an M because her name begins with M.

Audience: The target audience for this magazine is young teenagers interested in pop music and pop singers.

Language: The masthead and the font on the magazine match to the colour scheme of pink, white and yellow these are all bright colours that would be associated with young teenagers. The models on the front of the magazine are a well known pop boy band, they are all stood so they can be seen easily by the camera and are all looking straight into the camera smiling. It doesn't actually say anywhere who the boys on the front are but assuming most people who would be interested in this magazine will know who they are they are quite recognisable. There is an arrow over the picture of the band that says 'wow! topless 1D inside' which could give an indication to who they are and why they are in the magazine. There are also pictures at the side of the magazine of different pop artists with their names and why they are in the article as well as the main band.

Ideogology: The ideology of this front cover is to attract young teenagers who are interested in pop to buy this magazine, the main picture on the cover is of one direction a popular pop band so they are trying to attract teenagers by using a picture of this boy band on the front cover. This magazine cover looks like it is more suited for girls as the colours are quite feminine and more suited for younger girls.
