1. the house style of this magazine uses blue, orange, white and black (a bright colour pallet) the font is very modern and a mixture between serif and sans serif, the main image used going againced the stereotypes of mens health magazines because stereotypically the main image would be a man without a shirt on, the layout is very stereotypical with the masthead at the top and the cover lines around the main image.
2. the production values for this magazine is mid because its not a glossy front cover and the pages inside the magazine are very thin and cheap.
3. this magazine is telling its target audience that being fit and healthy is a good thing and this magazine promotes that a lot, the target audience for this magazine is men aged 25-45.
4. the colour pallet is used to show the important of the typography for example the masthead and titles are in blue and the larger main cover lines are in white and the less important text is in black for example the other cover lines
5. the main image is getting presented well because one of the main cover lines are "Paul Rudd never gets old"
6. the target audience is man aged 25-45 and are unhealthy who want to get fit again and this appeals to them because one of the main cover lines says "get back in shape fast" also another cover line which says "for men who hate cardio"
7. you can tell that the cover and the DPS come from the same magazine because at the bottom of every page it says the masthead of the magazine also the typography is the same font as the front cover also the images is a man who has a shirt on aswell which is linking with the man at the front who also does have a shirt on.
1. the colour pallet for this magazine is red, black and grey, the typography is sans serif and the layout is very stereotypical with the text located around the main image and not covering the main image. the main image is unsteryotypical because he has not got his shirt off and looking like a bodybuilder.
2. the production values are low because the front cover is not glossy and the paper feels like easily tearable paper
3.the ideologies represented are to teach the target audience how to get fit and get better endurance and build lean muscle the target audience for this magazine is about 20-35
years old and the content of the magazine link to this age of people so they can get fitter very quick.
4. the typography is used because a sans serif font is very easy to read because of the font styles used and the colour pallet is used to also make the front cover look simple and show you what is more important for example the reds are the masthead and the main cover lines and the less important cover lines are shown because they are written in black and not in bright colourful colours
5. the main image is presented very well because one of the mastheads says"Englands rugby rising star" which tells the audience that he is a rising star
6. the target audience is is 20-35 year old men and the reason that they will like to buy this magazine because they want to get fit fast and get better endurance.
7.you can tell because the font stays consistant throughout the magazine and this shows that it is from the same magazine because it makes the DPS and the front cover look the same, also the colour pallet is the same on both the front cover and the DPS's
Front cover
Style = the style needs to stay consistant throughout the magazine and must look basic to make it more stereotypical no more than 4 colour on the front cover
Typography = the typography must be serif or sans serif to match with the codes and conventions and make it look more stereotypical preferably sans serif to link with the style of the magazine
image = the image on the front cover stereotypically is a topless man who is ripped but because i'm making a fitness magazine for children then i will break this code and convention
Masthead = The masthead is always located at the top of the front cover the font is usually serif and is very large
Cover/homepage layout = is very simple with one main image in the middle of the font cover with cover lines dotted all round the main image
Content = the content of the magazine is to loose weight and eat healthier for men and how to boost your metabolism and be healthier and live longer
Colour Pallet = the colour pallet is very simple with only a few colours 2 of them usually being black and white with a different colour that will pop out.
Linked page/DPS layout = The DPS layout is stereotypically lots of text around the images.
