Magazine analysis


Front Page:

· Main Image – secondary school children ( both male, although one is white while the other is black, this shows the magazine is ethnically divers) in a dressing room ( football) this shows children( male’s) interest :Football. This is a appealing front cover for males although most females do not enjoy football so therefore this magazine cover isn’t well presented to both genders.
· Text – “Playing to learn” a play on words, a pun. This entices the reader in and working alongside the image helps the audience create a idea what the story will be about (Football). The text is overlade other the image and creates depth and a sense of the story being more than words. The text also gives connotations of what will be inside the magazines. Without mentioning Football directly in hints (implicit) at the fact Football will be involved
· Title – The title of the magazines is “ Secondary Teachers” which blatantly stats whom the selected audience with no confusion. The headline is write in a large san serif using the colour blue merging with the colour green this may be to create effect and depth to the title of the magazine.
· Logo and date – the logo at the bottom left hand corner is a rainbow (this may connote the fact of diversity, piece and unity as rainbows are often seen as a symbol of piece and they have many colours inside them, therefore unity and diverse).






Front Page:

· Main Image – two ginger bread men ( one male one female, a example of gender diversity) on a baking tray to advertise the inside story of cooking in school.
· Text – “ Cook with me ! how schools can make lessons tasty” a play on words, a pun. This entices the reader in and working alongside the image helps the audience create a idea what the story will be about ( Cooking). The text is overlade other the image and creates depth and a sense of the story being more than words. The text also gives connotations of what will be inside the magazines: tasty > food > Ginger bread men > cooking. Without mentioning cooking directly in hints (implicit) at the fact cooking will be involved
