Analysing Doctor Who magazine







Heading- The main heading is "doctor who". This is the name of the programme and its going to be known for this. Having this tells the audience what they will be reading about and what programme its going to be about. This is good as they can see if they want to read about it if they haven't already or if they have seen the T.V programme.The title is bold and stands out in a metallic colour behind the main chaarcters in the show. They havent got a name of the magazine that it is. This is because its a souviner magazine and it can be its own branded magazine.

Slogan- The slogan is "the day of the doctor" this is a catchy sentence as something that you can repeat and it will stick in your head. Its a sentence that makes you want to read on and see what its about. Its done in bold so it stands out from the image. Its in the centre so you cant miss it and it kind of tells the audience what its going to be about.

Central Image- the central image is of the doctor and the previous doctor and another person. This is quite good as many people who are interested in this will know these characters and would want to see what its about. the previous doctor would have changed into the new one so the audience would be thinking what's going on. The central person is Matt Smith as he is the recent doctor and he's the main character. He plays a big role so he would be centre.

Bar code- The bar code shows the price of the magazine. This is necessary as many magazines don't come free and this one is here to tell the audience to buy it. They show the date which makes the regular customers know what issue they are buying every week etc.

Colour scheme- The colour scheme is grey in the background. This is a bold colour that makes the font and central image stand out out of the magazine. The colour is quite gloomy so it fits the sci-fi scheme. The colour scheme is important as if there was no colour scheme in the background there would be nothing to seek. It would be plain.

Competition- In the bottom right corner there is a prize for doctor who fans. This is to attract there audience to come and but the magazine and then they can see if they can win these things. The target auwince would want to buy this as they would want to take part in a competititon to see if they can win. Having a comeptetion for customers to take part in will make the magazine more interesting and would be more exciting for them.

Language- The  language is done well.Its done in English and has some sci-fi language too as they are targeting people that interested in sci-fi. The language has to be understandable and made sure that its clear and that the right language is aimed at the right audience.  

Font- The font overall is bold, large, medium and is clear to see. The font is either done in black or white and red. These are colours that are associated with sci-fi. The font is made to be clear as they need to makes sure that their audience can see it and that i its readable and that its done in the right colour.
