Backside Tours Surf Camp Magazine

This surfing Magazine is obviously targeted at surfer from any gender but at a young age as all of the pictures on the front cover are of young surfers. The layout of this Magazine is very simple as the main image takes up the whole page with a few smaller images place on top of the left side. The text is very simple as there is the title of the magazine at the top of the page and some information about it at the bottom.

Loyolite School Magazine

The loyolite school Magazine is targeted at students going to that school and from looking at the image on the front page its more of a boys magazine. the layout of this magazine is very basic and similar to the school magazine that we have to create. The base colour is grey/white with an image of students from the school. there is hardly any text used for Loyolites front cover as the only text is the title at the top and the year at the bottom.

Q Magazine

For the front cover of Q Magazine it is obvious that the target audience is men. This is not only obvious because of Lilly Allen topless but also because all the bands listed on this page are made up of male singers. The front cover is very attractive as it involves two lions and Lilly Allen topless which tends to attract men. This Magazine has decided to scatter its information all over the front page. The magazines logo is at the top left and the bands inside are listed at the top left along with Lilly Allen's name in the middle.

Top Gear

from looking at the image for the front page of this top gear magazine i believe that it is targeted to young adults and middle aged men. the image is very unusual as there are three supercars and the stig in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by snow. like the school magazine that we will have to design there are two main pieces of text on the cover which are the title and a description of whats inside e.g "SUPERCARS ON ICE!!".

The blender magazine below has a main image of Tila Tequila. This is the main clue to the target audience as it is obvious that men are attracted to hot girls so in theory men should be attracted to this magazine. Another pull factor to this magazine is the text. Although there is a lot of text for a front cover the designer has cunningly used coloured writing so the magazine should stand out from the other mags on the shelf. This text has also been positioned around and behind the main image/attraction to make it stand out.
