Practice Analysis
Nintendo magazine analysis from DestinyGreenwood
Magazine Front Cover
What is the purpose of your chosen magazine ?
The purpose go my magazine is to attract gamers eyes. They have specifically put in the most famous Nintendo character on the front page of the magazine so people know it is a gamers magazine.The magazine also has little sections one where they are trying to sell some of their other products and they are also promoting new downloads and updates they have recently done. I know this because they have specifically used icons that gamers would immediately recognize. Katz and Blumler would say this is diversion but it is basically just for fun there is no seriousness about it really.
How are codes and conventions and layout used to appeal to the audience ?
The masthead is massive and is the logo for Nintendo which all gamers know very well and would recognize anywhere. The dominant image they have used is Mario who is also a massively known character in Nintendo and the gamer work which would grab any games or geeks attention anywhere as Mario plays a massive part in the gamers world.
Who is the target audience ?
The target audience is Gamers and Geeks and i know this because as i said before that they has purposely put 2 major aspects of the gamer world but not just gamers children as well as it is animation and many children are attracted by animation as that is what tends to be interested in when they are a little younger. I know this because me personally being a gamer i would walk past and get a glimpse of this magazine and have to stop and at least have a look at it in more detail.
Double Page Spread
What is the purpose of your Double Page Spread ?
The purpose of my double page spread is to attract teenage girls and young women as it is an article about Rita Ora and her personal life. This attracts young women and teenage girls because for some them Rita could be there role model or even just someone they like to relate to. Some people just like to know more information about her career and her personal life as it isn't something that is just plastered all over the news.
How are codes and conventions and layout used to appeal to the audience?
As you can see in my analysis PowerPoint the way they have stuck to a color scheme of 3 colours - Red , Black and White. The way the have put Rita behind her name kind of implies she may be a insecure and shy person who hides behind her fame and this is important to the audience because this could help them relate and also might become personal to them too knowing that they aren't the only one like that .
Who is the target audience ?
The target audience is young women , teenage girls and obviously fans of Rita Ora . I know this because Rita Ora is a very good role model and many girls look up to her not just for her gorgeous looks but also her man personality that many other stars tend to loose once fame comes into there life. The way she is positioned in the image shows that she is a down to earth person really but she doesn't really like to open up to people often because of her insecurities.
