Assignment 1 Explanation

My target audience are both genders aged around 12 – 30 and are people would I would assume have some interest in the super hero genre. They would also be interested in film or any of the genres of film shown on the cover lines, e.g. comedy and si-fi. The image used in the magazine is majorly of centred to the right. This is to create suspense, unnerve and mystery. This is because the character of Batman is unnerving and mysterious. The image itself is quite dark and so whilst the background is still dark and grey, it’s much lighter than the image. This creates a shadowed contrast between the image and the background. The colour pallet used is a black and red one with features of white and grey. This links to the target audience because of the fact that they connote the red with danger and warning. The white might connote to pure and cleanliness. The colours of the cover lines are red. This is to differentiate different parts of the cover, the title and the main cover line. The main cover line features all the colours used throughout the page. Rather than having red text on grey block, it was grey text on a red block. This is to differ the cover lines with the main cover lines.The font used for the main cover line is the font used and associated with the batman films and so people would be able to make that connection quite quickly and read on. The font used for the title and various other bits is bold and blocky. This might link to a more modern standpoint. The rest uses much more of a natural text in order to contrast with the sometimes-harsh edges of the title and main cover lines.
