Graphics is used on the ‘o’ to show the theme of the magazine, which is football and is a shape of a ball This shows that the

target audience is aimed at people who are fans of Ronaldo/Real Madrid

The white is a very outstanding colour and shows the most important pages in particular. Also, it is the second colour for the audience to see after yellow to encourage them to buy the magazine

Yellow is used to attract attention as it is quite bold and out there. This makes it stand out to the target audience and encourages tem to buy the magazine. Also, the most shocking news is mostly in yellow to also encourage a purchase

The red stimulates a faster heartbeat which links with football as footballers run out and exercise that makes the heart beat faster

Magazine website

Page 12: The generic conventions of a magazine

The word ‘Contents’ is bold and

black which stands out to the

audience clearly

The main page is clearly listed first

which makes the reader especially

the Kanye West fans to turn and read

that particular page

The page name and number is clearly

identified in a classy style which

doesn’t confuse the reader and is

straightforward

The magazine not only focuses on

music but fashion as well to show a

variety of different things the

magazine provides

Using Kanye West on the contents page

appeals to the audience as he’s a celebrity

and many of his fans would want to

know the latest about him

The clothes that Kanye is wearing

are classed as fashionable today and

the magazine has also written down

the places you can purchase them

from too.

The theme of the contents page is a

greyscale colour scheme and only

has the red heart from a mysterious

hand behind him

The background is plain and so the

‘V’ behind Kanye is quite big and

bold which identifies the magazine

name ‘Vibe’

I chose the colours black, purple and

white because they look colourful and

attract the target audience. The student

also had these colours on which went

well with the magazine

The picture is a sixth form

student sitting down on the grass

outside the school . It is clear and

has the school scenery as the

background.

Masthead

The lure encourages the students to

get the magazine as competitions are

something they want to take part in

The picture of ‘Mrs Copeland’ has a

line from her interview inside to show

that the full interview is inside to read

This quote is seen and read

which makes the student

remember this and counts it

as the quote of the week

This rhetorical question

persuades the student to

open the magazine and

find out who it is

This also encourages students

to get the magazine as pictures

of important events tends to

make them look at them

This would be inside the

magazine and helps the

student especially when it

is the exam season

This is the selling line and links

with the magazine name and the

theme school

For the masthead, o chose

purple with a black outline as it

is eye catching and stands out to

the students which makes them

get the magazine

Page 14: The generic conventions of a magazine

The title for contents page is in white and bold which indicates what the page

is and engages the students to read what the magazine contains

The image at the top is the school

building and has a blue scenery

surrounding it. This meant I had to

choose my magazine background to

be the same blue so it looks concise

This picture illustrates the

caption below on what the

page content is about. This

allows students to read that

particular page if they are

interested

This picture is a clear shot of

what the caption says below. The

scenery also links with the club

and so this gives it an

identification to the students.

The colours black,

white and purple

are used as this is

part of the house

style and makes

the magazine look

consistent towards

the students. The

contents page is

divided into 3

categories each

with a different

colour so it is easy

to see and find.

The categories are

KS3, KS4 and

KS5. They are

clearly labelled so

it is readable for

the students

This links with the lure

on the front page

which indicates what

page it is so the

students are able to

enter the competitions
