Magazine Analysis 2

The academy magazine

I think that it is called the academy magazine as it is making reference to a particular school. The most significant words are ‘learning for fife’ which is a good way for people to buy this magazine as they would want to know more about how they can learn. On the front cover of this magazine it does not say who publishes this magazine. This magazine is published every couple of months and this particular one is from spring 2014. This magazine does not have any other media interests. This magazine is £5.99 and can only be bought on the internet.

The type of audience this magazine is targeting at would be teenagers at high school or going into university as there are two young boys on the front cover in a science lab. There is an image on the front cover of two boys who are in a workshop and they look happy to be there and happy to be learning. This would make a reader want to buy it because they could be interested in the same subject they are doing. On the bottom of the front cover it also says ‘free schools’ which would attract reader because they may not want to go to a school or university if they have to pay a lot of money to go.  The magazine addresses its readers by telling them that they are able to learn for life and this would want them to read on and see how they can. The cover looks a little similar to other magazines because there are many different issues of this magazine although there is a different picture for every magazine they layout and colours are still the same. I think the magazines presentation is a bit dull as the colours are not that right but also I think it looks smart as it is a school magazine which means it needs to smart if people are going to buy it. This magazine looks a little cheap and also looks like it has been done on Photoshop quickly.

This magazine features articles about how you can find or get into free schools if you don’t want to spend money on a school. It also has an article about what is going on in different subjects. You find out in this magazine how you can keep learning. There are no advertisements on the front cover of this magazine but there may be some on the inside. There are no women in this magazine but the men are represented to be happy in what they are doing. Also they look like they are doing technology or science so maybe they are trying to say that it is a subject for boys. There are no celebrities featured in this magazine as it is a school magazine and they probably want to focus the magazine on just schools. I think this magazine is just made for people who would like to find out more about certain subjects or people who are interested in going to different schools.
