Text Analysis

For this post, I am going to compare a real school magazine to my completed cover and deconstruct each cover.. Before creating our school mgazine cover, we recapped on the stereotypical magazine conventions;

• A masthead at the top of the page 
• Sell lines
• Images
• Main story as the focus 

FFH Magazine
 The Masthead of the magazine clearly fits into the codes and conventions of a magazine as it clearly placed at the top of the cover which immedietly draws the eye to the title of the magazine. Also, the font within the cover is Sans Serif. This fits into the style of the magazine as the use of Sans Serif is seen as more 'trendy', 'modern' and 'present'. Compared to Serif which is seen as more 'traditional'. The FFH also includes the convention of 'Sell lines' which are commonly used to persuade and to sell. Adding to this, the image used on the magazine is that of a mid shot which are very commonly used on the covers of magazines. 

My Magazine
 Similarly, my magazine includes a clear Masthead and many sell lines. Adding to this it also includes a main mid shot as the main focus. However, one of the major differences is the fact that my Masthead is in a Serif font as I wanted my School Magazine to appeal to parents who would relate to the Serif along with the younger generation who would relate to the more 'modern' Sans Serif font used through the rest of the cover.
