Print Research

The red stamp is a point of interest for customers, as it stands out from the background. Using this will make a magazine look more realistic as it is a way to point out something that appeals to its audience.

The aspect of this magazine that says official makes the customer feel assured about the content they are about to engage in; establishing that the magazine is official.

The use of text used to make the cover look appealing is something that i take inspiration from. As the use of colour also creates a contrast between the background.

I will use the concept of using a competition to make this more appealing to consumers. As in this magazine it says 'Win! Seasons & Dvds!' 

Using the idea of a rhetorical question will be a good way to lure consumer in to my magazine cover as this engages the consumer as soon as they read the question.

This is an example of a souvenir magazine.

The title of publication is Doctor Who. The text is made bold and is used in a bright colour to be made apparent, using block letters also gives it emphasis

The Slogan is 'Celebrating 50 years of adventures in space and time'. This gives this specific magazine a subject therefore the reader will know what to expect in terms of the content as it is made clear through the slogan.

The central image is an image of the previous actors that played the role of the Doctor, this is effective as it gives a reader a bit of history just through a picture.

The main flash/cover line is 'the day of the doctor. It has been written in the centre of the main characters torso meaning it is hard to miss and therefore more effective. 'The doctor's past comes back to haunt him' is also another use of this as it could relate to the history of the show being stated in the slogan

This issue contains 13 collectors edition anniversary art cards, 9 downloads of Doctor Who audio adventures and chances to win blu ray cd's books and cd's.

The colour scheme consists of black, white, gold and red. White is used in texts to help make it stand out whereas the black is used as a background. The gold is used as behind some texts in red, this helps to make a contrast and makes it more appealing to the reader

On the right hand side it shows what will be included inside the magazine including competitions and prizes

The language emphasises the word doctor as this will stick in the readers mind.

The font is big and viewable, block letters are used. This helps the reader as it will be more eye catchy and the reader will be more attracted to the cover however less important text is smaller and less apparent.

Competitions are made available as they are promoted on the cover and engages the readers.

The barcode is placed at the bottom right with a price and issue number.

The real target audience for this is children from ages of 12 and above, some families may enjoy the show or magazine not to mention some older teenagers may also enjoy the franchise.
