Analysis Of TV Choice Magazine cover:

In this front cover of choice magazine, their are three characters, Roxy, Ronnie & Sean (from east Enders) looking straight into the eyes of the audience, this is direct address which immediately grabs the reader’s attention and portrays some sort of emotion with the audience. Following this we have the articles main cover line which is embedded with red outlining and white and yellow colours in boldness which says “Roxy’s Hell”, this directly tells the audience that something is going on between these three characters which interests the audience even more. Underneath this there is a smaller caption in red outlining and yellow letters which says “Roxy’s Battle with Sean and Ronnie” this connects to the magazines main cover line and gives the audience a better understanding of what’s happening between these characters which grabs their attention even more.

The layout and structure of the magazines cover is to portray the weeks main things that are happening from other soaps to t.v shows, this is appealing to the audience as every ones even more dragged into the magazine, numerous captions of the weeks events are shown in different areas of the magazine to fill the magazine up, this shows there is so many things happening, this makes the magazine look active and attracts the reader even more, for example on the top right hand side of the magazine we have an image of a Doctor Who character with “DOCTOR WHO bbc1 the finale!”, the exclamation mark makes this more louder and makes it something that needs to be heard. The pricing of the magazine is shown not once but twice on the top left hand corner and once again on the left hand side in the middle with a bold font and black colour with a bright orange background to bring the black coloured pricing out even more, on top of the price it says “ONLY” in large letters to make the reader realize how “cheap” it really is, and on the bottom saying “value packed” telling the audience your buying a lot for little which should attract the readers eye straight away.

We have the three main characters of this specific magazine over throwing the actual title of the magazine “TV choice” although you can see it clearly, you have the characters more enlarged and the real focus is on them rather than the title. There are stars within the magazine cover to make it more glamorized. In the magazine cover we have an optional website name “www.tvchoicemagazine.co.uk” to give the regular buyers of this magazine more of a choice to see up and coming things that may be put up this could appeal to the younger audience.
Primary colours are used mainly to make the magazine look distinctive and outstanding, making things clear and catching the reader’s attention much more quickly. The font used is mainly bold, to make it seem more louder and bigger so its shown more, the whole structure of the magazine cover is laid out to have a main topic, other topics that relate to that topic and further topics that are on t.v. These are all elements to that are portrayed to grab the reader’s attention.
