Textual Analysis of another magazines aimed at teenagers.



This is not a college/school magazine although i will still use this magazine to compare the conventions i have already identified by using actual college/school magazines. the first convention i will talk about is the masthead: the Masthead for a college/school magazine is to have a large bold masthead at the top of the front page, this is so when the magazine is on a shelf and only the top of the front page is visible and people can recognise the magazine. The second college/school Magazine is a large image which this magazine has (of Morrissey). It also has a bold overlapping title, with a Witty sub title under the actual title. There is room at the top of the magazine, room for plugs etc. although there is contact details on the page there is no specific logo although the title of the magazine is basically the logo. Although this magazine agrees with most of the conventions of a college/school magazine there is some differences from it and a conventional college magazine such as the plugs aren't at the top of the page but spread all other the page. In NME magazine which is aimed at a teenage audience,uses plugs around the main image i may take this into consideration and include these in my final magazine front page.
