The name of
my magazine is called “4-formation” I called it this because it links to
football and that is what my magazine is about, and the target audience would
be able to identify this as a football magazine. My magazine targets mostly
teenagers (particularly male) who are in to football.
The title of
my magazine is positioned at the top of my magazine and is placed in the centre
of the page. The title doesn’t really take up a lot of space. The font of the
title is bold and big which will stand out to the target audience and draw their
attention. The colour of the title corresponds with the main image as they
feature the same colour’s think this makes the cover look neater and organised
rather than having a big variety of colours and the colour scheme specifically
matches this magazine genre.
My magazine
cover features three cover lines and one main cover line. The three cover lines
are positioned around the main image with the little picture which relate to
that article and the main cover line is positioned at the bottom of the main
image. For the cover lines I have varied the size of the fonts because the
cover lines have a smaller font whereas the main cover line has a bigger font
to indicate that this is the main topic inside the magazine. The main cover
line has a red filled box and the reason for this is so it stands out on the
baby blue of the image and it also corresponds with one of the little images
which are scattered around the side. The three other cover lines have a baby
blue coloured filled box and this corresponds to the main image.
My magazine
cover features three images and one main image. The main image is in the centre
of the page and takes up most space. The other three images are much smaller
and positioned either side of the main image. All of these images are accompanied
by their cover lines.
To complete
my magazine cover I have added the little things that some people don’t really
take a lot of notice of or don’t really care about, but without these little
things a cover wouldn’t be the same. I have added a date, price, issue number
and barcode. The barcode is positioned on the bottom right hand corner of the
page not really using up a lot of space because it’s not as significant. The date,
issue number and price are all positioned above the title in really small white
font, and this just gives the audience any addition information but not anything
that’s really important to them which is why its not eye catching or bold.
