Masthead: The masthead is instantly recognisable from far
away as it is in a large white box which stands out against the background.
This is done to attract people’s attention and get them to look at the
magazine. It is also instantly recognisable as it’s the xbox logo which many
people know
Colours: The colours used are very bright and colourful
which can attract people’s attention and look at the magazine. It also appeals
to the target audience which would be lower middle class and under boys. The
bright colours make it look exciting and the choice of colours complement each
other well and make the cover look fun
Image: The image fills up most of the cover and allows
itself to be seen from far away. The image will appeal to people who like the
game and also because the character is based on Jack Black, other people may
recognise it too. The axe he is carrying is meant to look cool and succeeds in
doing so. It may get people interested in seeing more of the article and then
buying the magazine. It still leaves room for text at the side but does its job
of filling up the free space.
Promises: The
magazine promises an exclusive review for a new game and expert strategies from
the company that created the game. This may get people to buy the magazine as
they would want to see the article that no other magazine had. The magazine
also promises another review which is ‘world exclusive’. This article
accompanies the cover photo and helps to attract people to the magazine with
something interesting to read.
Other: The bar code is kept out of the way and is coupled
with a logo in a white box. This lets people know that it is a separate part of
the magazine and not one to really be looked at
