Transcript of Texual research.
Price is £3.99 Very small to hide t from the
consumers, make the rest of the mag draw them in and then find
out the price
Sub-Image and sub-Heading tells you more about the magazine, what
your liking going to find inside.
Headline is bold and very powerful, tells you about the main article of the magazine
Buzz words: Rare!
Exclusive! Shows a
reason why you should
buy this magazine.
Layout is very organised, not very cluttered.
Seems to be aimed to an
older market.
Graphic Plug, showing added contents which
may attract certain people
Main Image, shows David
Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, an iconic image
very recognisable
The featured articles are shown with
pictures then the page number in a red
box so its easily recognisable and easy to find in the
magazine.
The main article is just a photo of the Muppets which is
different to the way the other articles are laid out this is much easier to read this way also it’s the
biggest picture so it draws you in.
The subscription is on the contents page
shows that they want to hook you into
subscribing to the magazine
The review done by Q its self is on the bottom right
this time the article picture has some text next to it to show you a little nugget of the article to draw you in
The front page is shown at the top of the page on to link the contents page to its front cover and also it’s a common Q convention so it reminds the audience on why they
open the magazine and also how much other stuff is in the
magazine
The regular section of it is a common convention, showing you what the magazine offers most
issues also gives the page numbers and a brief
description
A pull to open the double page spread,
with the title in bold so easily recognisable.
a lot of text across the double page to me suggests a heavy
reading.
More pictures of chas and dave, making the
article relatable.
Photo of the two of them on the page is a large medium clearly
showing who the interview is about.
Pull quote highlighted in red drawing the reader
in to the magazine.
Colours follow the same theme across the page.
Headline– Main chunk in red, its bold tells the reader what its going to be about however the rest of the lines are in white still important
but not there to catch the readers attention.
NME is bold and red. Stands out makes it easily recognisable
Sub-Heading tells you more about the
magazine, what your liking going to
find inside. The photo of
Jarvis Cocker, is very rebellious and mirrors the
behaviour of pulp. Black and white
shows nostalgia
Colour Scheme is black, red and
white. Shows the rock culture of
anger and violence. Its realised just after the students riots so
it reflects relevant events
“About F*#king Time” font is personal looks hand written mirrors graffiti
The contents page is very easy to read and uses
main articles within the magazine are highlighted
here with the use of pictures with the page number and a pulled quotes with a brief
summary of the article. The main article is a
bigger picture showing its prominence in the magazine. The fonts
reflect the style of the artist.
The subscription is on the contents page shows that
they want to hook you into subscribing
to the magazine
Free Poster – Buzz wordShows you that your going to get something free later on interests the reader to buy
and read it.
The plus sections is smaller because its what else is in the magazine also the
less important article or the regular
things that are always in the
magazine
A main photo take us one half of the page. Other side is a bright side, with a good sized article with pull quotes throughout with a column that stands out drawing the reader in. colour are very bright which I like, however mainly used to draw attention
to the article. Having him in black and white contracts the article itself.
Buzz words: Free CD!Bonus Mag!
Anniversary Special! Shows a reason why you should buy this
magazine.
Band logo is embedded into the Headline,
showing prominence and boldness. 40th
Anniversary Special, tells you what the magazine is mainly
about. Shows secret history intrigues the
audience in.
The art work is very unusual it looks like an old book, reflects
nostalgia, the art work draws you in to the main picture of
the lead singer of the band, in his iconic
school uniform. This reflects the iconic
nature of AC/DC. Also the text in the middle has a flow and a wave to the way the text is
laid out
The front cover is very centralised, with all the
text in the middle drawing the readers eyes into the centre of the page also its very minimalistic intrigues
the audience in
Plug at the top, makes the audience notice the contents
of it. Also most of the contents page is
black and white to show nostalgia of the
classic bands
The picture of AC/DC takes up
about 80% of the page showing the emphasis of the nostalgia of the
band to the reader
Cover story features a year that most of the readers will be able to reference too, uses the word history to show
the age of the contents, also there is a use of a boarder to show order
of the page
There is only a couple of features on the page
following the minimalistic style of this contents page.
Another plug on the page drawing the
readers into the rest of the magazine
On one side of the page there is one main photo with a pull quote on top of it which pushed all the text to one side of the page. I like this style of making a double page spread however it would have been nice to have the picture over the double page spread. But I like the contrast of black and white across the page
