A Front Cover Analysed

Reflection

In class we learnt how to analyze a magazine front cover through audience demographics, audience psychographics, font/typeface, colour pallet, the image and the language. We learnt that demographics are used to draw in the audience through physical separations such as gender and age. For example a magazine aimed at younger little girls might be pink and include lots of pictures and colours. We also learnt that psychographics are used to draw in the attention of readers through through more psychological ways that are more personal to an individual such and their lifestyle and hobbies and interests. For example if a magazine wanted to target people who prefer living in the country and being in nature the topics on the magazine would be out nature so maybe a magazine about farming.
