Top of the pop’s target audience is uni sex but is mostly aimed at young girls as the genre is associated more with pop music featuring heartthrob boy bands.
The price and date is written at the bottom next to the barcode it’s hard to see but then this way it can’t put the reader of buying it for example if they can’t see the date then they won’t know if it’s already been out a week or the price then they won’t worry about the price the main focus will be what’s on it and the content will determine the buy not the price.
This magazine uses a range of different fonts but focuses on san serif fonts making the whole magazine clearer to read. The main colour scheme is blue; pink and yellow
The mast head is really big and bold so it stands out, it’s written in pink and then it’s got a thick white outline on a blue background having the white outline around the words makes it stand out more. The masthead goes from left to right and it’s just a little lower than right up the top, this is so they can fit their publishers logo in which is the ‘BBC’ this is useful as some parents or even the target audience may see this logo and think they should defiantly by the magazine as they already know the logo and think its reliable, suitable and enjoyable.
Three high school musical actors are the main picture and you cant see much of what their wearing as its covered but you can see two of them wearing a slightly lighter shade of blue which doesn’t really stand out against the blue background which doesn’t make them seem as important but by doing this makes the other things on the magazine seem just as important. The actors heads covers part of the masthead I don’t think this matter to much as you can still see the words ‘top of pops’ so it’s pretty obvious what the mast head is but for new readers then it could cause a no sale as they can’t see the mast head and read it properly.
This Top of the pop’s magazine front cover is doesn’t really consist of an order it looks very busy and things do overlap this has the effect that the magazine is full of things to read about and well worth your money which attracts younger readers as they will know they won’t get bored. The music cover lines are on the left and right with a picture and the non music relating things at the bottom every cover line has a picture this is useful as the reader doesn’t have to read the cover lines they can just look at the pictures to see what it is about.
The cover lines, include words like ‘exposed’, ‘your’, ‘follow’ and ‘you’ these all grab attention to the reader as they will like that their getting access into a secret or the unknown and draws them into buying it more. The words ‘you’ and ‘your’ mean the reader and make them feel involved in the magazine and mean they can relate well to them.
The Route of the eye represents the where the readers eyes focus on and on this front cover it starts at masthead> Zac Efron’s eyes> Leona Lewis’s eyes > through the actors bodies> ‘follow’, ‘dreams’ then through Robert Patterson’s eyes> through Miley Cyrus eyes . Eyes are important as we all look at a face first to see if we recognise them and the route of the eye runs through several eyes.
There are smaller cover lines also backed in pink, these smaller cover lines can also draw the reader into the magazine as it advertises other bands such as ’Jo bros’, ‘Miley Cyrus’ which if you know this band or artist and liked them would also entice you to buy the magazine.
