Task 7

TASK 7: ANNOTATED FRONT COVER: Produce a detailed analysis of the front cover of your favourite current affairs magazine aimed at your target audience. This should have the front cover in the centre and at least 15 annotations based on the bullet points in Task 4 above. Add to the blog post by bullet-pointing ideas this gives you for your own magazine


target audience 16 - 25 middle to up market demographic (socially concious)



i liked the idea of these magazine covers as they have hidden and deeper meaning behind the original posts. 

The demographic that im aiming towards prefer hidden meaning and descovering for themselves their opinions on such matters, whereas older demographics prefer to be told what they could think

In this magazine i liked how they show that no matter who someone is, you dont know there beliefs wheather political, religious or cultural

- the trump hat (why do people wear it if they know the contiations behind it/ or what people believe it represents) - people can hold there belief but have to show case it to the world, and then therefore have that bias held against them by others when their seen wearing it

the week - website analysis

Image
 The layout of the website is clean and uncluttered, with a plan white background. Synergy is created immediately with the masthead matching that of the magazine and in the same font,  all capitals and the same shade of red. On the left corner of the masthead is a menu icon with the word 'menu' underneath for clarity. Next to this is the search icon with a search bar On the right corner of the masthead is an image of the curent week's print ocver, next to two call to action buttons: ' subscribe and save' and 'give a gift' Underneath is an advertising gif taking up almost the width of the page. This changes constantly, advertising products such as Adobe and Vanguard. The chosen stories take up the left two thirds of the page.

These 'editorial cartoons'
