First magazine analysis - 'First Car'

I started off analysing the front cover of 'First Car'. The first thing i noticed on the cover was the masthead. Its in big white letters that contrast with the dark background of the image. The word 'First' stands out more than the word 'Car' because because it is longer and you read more into it. Underneath the heading there is a sub-heading which gives a definition for the magazine. This helps to identify the audience of the magazine, and attract people to read it, who may not have seen it before. The sub-heading says 'The magazine for young driers' this shows that it is the only magazine for Young drivers and that someone who is interested in the magazine, should buy it because there are no others like it. The magazine is a niche product. This means that it is only for a particular audience. The audience its aimed at is young people, who are learning to drive. Mainly between the ages of 17 to 22. It doesn't stereotype to male or female, so it can be for either genders.



There is also a banner across the top of the magazine. It shows the best bits of what is inside, drawing the audience in close, so they think there getting more from the magazine. The graphics are right for the audience as well. They are bright and eye catching. In the top left hand corner there is a list of what is included in the magazine. Ut shows the page numbers, showing the audience that the magazine is quick and easy to us. They have used there top storys to draw the reader in more and make thse storys look as if they are exclusive.
