Colours In Magazine

The colors I will be mainly using in the magazine will consist of 4 colors. They are white, red, brown and black.

White: The colour white is a colour which shows nothing.

Red: The colour red is the colour of love and blood.

Brown: The colour brown is a colour that shows woods and nature.

Black: The colour black shows power and mystery.

I have chosen these colors as I believe these colors will be effective in the promotion of my magazine.

The colour white will allow me to show goodness. I want to use this in the picture as I want to show the school is full of goodness.

The colour red will be used for the text. I have chosen this color for the text as it will stand on the background color that I will be using.

The color brown will be used as a background shadow. I want to do this as it will make everything on the page stand out.

The color black will be used as my main cover lines. I want to do this as black is a color of power and I want the main cover line to be the most powerful thing on the page.

The colours used in the magazine has been made using dark colours to enhance the main image used.



The cover lines have been made white, this has been done to allow the audience to clearly read the text. If the text was not clear and didn't stand out on the page, the audience will struggle to read it.

For this type of magazine I will say that the use of colours has been used effectively as it attracts the audience with it's visual presence.

Analysis Of Magazine Language

How do magazines use language to target their audience?

NME

   

The language used in the NME magazine is highly important to the promotion of the magazine. This magazine uses a range of different language techniques to appeal to the target audience.

Firstly, the writer of this magazine uses factual information, " top 50" having facts in the magazine is important to target its audience as it allows the audience as facts and statistics make information more reliable. The fact that this magazine uses facts and statistic is good because this is a music magazine and having "top  50" in it will allow the audience to see the accomplishment.

The writer of this magazine uses a lot of detail when describing things, " double six, singing to the label to release their forthcoming self-titled debut album on January 5." Using detailed language allows the audience to clearly understand what is going on. The writer also used a date in this detailed description. The writer does this because he/she wants the audience to understand what is going on in this date.

Finally, the writer uses language to appeal to it's target audience is by using direct audience, such as rhetorical questions. " it's just strange as fuck, you know?" This language used is informal. The writer uses a swear word with informal language to suit it's target audience. Having the magazine formal will not appeal to the target audience. The fact that it is used in the magazine makes it clear that it is directed at young adults.
