Research: Front Cover Of School Magazines

This magazine is aimed at primary school children who are interested in becoming footballers. Adventure School Photography offer framed pictures of the children wearing team colours and made up to look like they are on the front cover of a magazine. This is an idea that they took from some of their colleagues in America. They think it will prove to be very popular.

The first thing that caught my eye of this magazine was the bright colour scheme (yellow) and the title "STRIKE!". "STRIKE" stands out as it is in capital letters, the font size is big and the red on the yellow background makes it stand out even more. From afar, some of the writing is quite difficult to read as it is quite small. The editors of this magazine may have done this on purpose in order for the reader to look closer and draw the attention of the reader. The plain white background makes everything stand out. Mid close-up of a boy with 2 little football related images. "WIN, FREE BOOTS FOR YOUR CLUB"- draws your attention, makes you want to buy it. The boys eyes are looking at you. The image is taken from eye-level.
