Magazine Analysis

  • Strapline
  • Masthead
  • NO 1 - shows its the number 1 magazine for the young, ambitious and cool!
  • Date
  • Price
  • JLS is the main focus
  • website
  • Bold title
  • 3 years award winning flavour magazine
  • Other celebs also in the magazine is listed in the strapline at the bottom
  • typography
  • direct address
The target audience for this magazine would be aimed at teenagers. Age range upto about 13-16. The reason for this is because, it has JLS on the front who's main target audience is teenagers, also because the strapline says... "The NO.1 LIFESTYLE FOR THE YOUNG. AMBITIOUS AND COOL." I also know this because in the way the magazine has been layed out... different types of typography has been used all over the page, they have not sticked to one suitable fonts, they have used a variety of different fonts, colours and inforamtion is not all in one place.
