Front Cover 5: Top of the Pops - Cher Lloyd
The final front cover
I am looking at is from the UK magazine ‘Top of the Pops’, a magazine made for
Children/Early teens it bases itself on current pop stars who are loved by
their younger audience. As it is a magazine for children you can easily see the
difference between the more risqué content that could be used on other magazine
and the more happy clean content that is used on this one. The front cover is a
picture of teen talent show star ‘Cher Lloyd’ who is seen to be wearing a blue
top, jacket and looking slightly over her shoulder into the camera. For the first time the model is
underneath the brand name which could be because a younger audience by a
magazine for the brand rather than just buying it on the odd occasion. They
also advertise freebies that are available to readers who purchase the
magazine, this is an effective way of increasing the amount of people who
purchase your publication and could be thought about when creating my own
magazine cover. The colour scheme is simple with a lot of pink and purple it is
obviously seen to be aimed more towards the female market. There logo is very
clever and stands out straight away on the page against all the other content.
Different fonts are used throughout along with different designs and set outs
of pieces of information which makes the overall look feel more childish and
closer to the target market it is trying to address.
