Textual Analysis - Smaart Talent


The picture on the cover of this magazine is of a young woman blowing a bubble out of gum, this instantly portrays fun and youthfulness, which would make teenagers want to read it. A graffiti style font is used above the two cover lines to relate the magazine to a teenagers style. However a simple colour scheme of brown, pink and white is used; this makes the magaine come accross as sophisticated, classy and slightly more grown up than many other student magazines.


The picture is a midshot, and the girl in the picture is looking straight at the camera, this conveys eye contact to try and engage the audience. There is a double meaning of the word 'pop' on the front cover of the magazine; popping of the chewing gum, and pop music that the article will be about. The title of this magazine is 'Smaart Talent'. This is a clever title as it is aimed to make readers think they will be smart if they read the magazine, and also the word 'art' is encorporated in the title which might give the audience a creative boost if they read it.


Bold fonts are mostly used to again attract the potential audiences attention and encourage them to buy your magazine, and around the title there is a shiny effect which catches your eye as you look at it. The cover lines on the magzine are all based around the theme of education - careers, uni, courses etc, which furthermore would make teenagers feel intelligent if they were to read it.
