The Wire
The Wire is a magazine dedicated
to music – especially undiscovered
musicians.
In this magazine the tone could be
described as calm and peaceful
due to the use of white, cream and
light shades of brown.
This is the front cover of the
magazine and we can see that it
uses special effects and is an
example of visual hierarchy.

Most of the content of the magazine was about
science fiction i.e Doctor Who
This is article is targeted at young adults or those who have watched the
original version of ‘Carrie’ because it is a remake of the film ‘Carrie’
This is targeted towards a mass audience because those who have watched
the old ‘Carrie’ might want to compare the difference between the then
and now ‘Carrie’
My double spread page article would be placed in the middle of the
magazine because it is where most article that are about upcoming
movies/ documentaries
The magazine contained articles
about the history of ‘Doctor Who’ and
the up and coming new episodes of
‘Doctor who’

The adverts are mostly about
upcoming films mostly sci-fi and/or
thriller and horror films
Magazines like these would be
available at super markets or
bookstores.
The Classic Rock magazine is mostly about bands,
and their upcoming songs
This is article is targeted at towards 18-25 yr olds
This is targeted towards a niche audience because most of the younger
generation would prefer to listen to newer songs which mostly revolves
around rnb and rap
My double spread page article would be placed in the middle of the
magazine because it is where most article that are about upcoming
movies/ documentaries
The magazine contained articles
about different bands or solo artists
talking about how they became
known or what they are going through
interms of their career

Magazines like these would be
available music stores such as HMV

Section A: Magazine
Simple Title

Picture taken

Neat paragraph structures
with black writing on a
simple white background.

A full page of a
picture, grabs
attention cause you

magazine?

●

Articles about celebrities, their
lifestyles, whether they have a product to
sell as ancillary product and articles about
fashion.
2. Who is the audience/target
audience? How do you know?

●

●

article chosen is about a 16 year old
actress.
Its target audience is also people who like
reading about celebrity magazines.

●

●

●

Mass audience
It’s a well structured magazine because Its

minimal, simple, basic yet sophisticated.

organised/structures?
The structure of the magazine:
●

Picture

●

Title

●

Sub-title

●

Paragraph last because of the bold letter ‘t’
to illustrate the starting of the paragraph.
a. How could your documentary fit
into this?
●

My documentary could fit into this because
lay-out is simple with all the text being well
structured, good spacing between
characters, a photograph taking up 50% of
a double-page spread.
5. By looking at the adverts, what do
they advertise?
(products, services?)
●

They advertise an article, they are not
trying to sell a product.

available?

●

This magazine is available in stores and
anywhere that sells a huge variety of
products.
7. How much does it cost to use a
full double page spread in the
magazine?
●

A double page spread would cost around
an estimate of £900 or a little more
because it’s a double page spread and
would cost more than just having a little
advert in a magazine or newspaper and
also considering the type of magazine.
8. Extension: What are the
procedures of getting feature in a
magazine?
●

The procedures of getting features in a
magazine is depends on the
publication, ad size and your contract with
the publication
The end.
