The Lion -Hampton School

The Lion- Hampton School


The masthead titles, The Lion, as seen in the bottom right corner, the schools logo features a lion. The lion seems to be holding a sword and a shield. Lions represent bravery, courage and masculinity, the lion acts as a efficient logo or this school as it is all boys.

Boys from the school are featured on the cover, showing what sort of activities and trips they do. Giving the reader an insight of what contents the magazine holds. The colour scheme is yellow and black, yellow is happy perhaps reflecting the students time spent at the school and the black is bold, suggesting formality and elegance.

The masthead and logo contrast against the black background making both the text and picture bold and noticeable. The font is narrow and simple, which could reflect the schools way of learning; simple.

Magazine Analysis- Marie Clare

Marie Clare

The masthead of this magazine; Marie Claire, suggest this magazine is aimed at a female audience, because the title is a woman's name.

The woman on the front cover, Mandy Moore, is famous, she is a singer and actress, this would attract many of her fans. Although Mandy is in the magazine to talk about her engagement, and music, as we know from the text on the right. She also relates to another title ''LOOK AMAZING'' as she is posing with her arms in the air giving an open view of her outfit. The text is at the same angle of which her arms are, also showing that the text and the woman link.

A blue and yellow coloured theme appears throughout the text, these colours contrast, which could reflect the brands identity as fun and exciting. The background is plain white giving a fresh feel and emphasizes the bold colours, drawing the eye to the text.

Hyperbolic phrases such as 'THEY'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!'' may encourage the reader to purchase the magazine because it exaggerates the potential of the beauty products. This phrase also addresses the audience, suggesting it would help the reader in particular.

The magazine also offers a free download of Mandy Moore's new music, this would also attract her fans or anyone interested in her music, or type of music.
