The new media publication is similar to existing publications such as the Top Of The Pops magazine that is shown because the masthead is at the top of the page and is big and bold so that it stands out. The main image is large with the text that goes with the image bold next to it. It sticks to a limited colour scheme of oranges and yellows. The people in the image have eye contact with the viewer.



However it is different from the magazine because it doesn't have lots of images on the front it has more text to tell the reader of what is inside the magazine. The image takes up the whole of the page rather than part of the page. The Top Of The Pops magazine is a lot busier than the new publication.





It should appeal to the target audience as the people in the image are young and it will hopefully attract the younger readers as well as older. As Top Of The Pops have done they have used some of the cast of High School Musical to attract the younger readers and also the slightly older too. The tone used in the magazine is also informal and friendly so that the readers can engage with the articles.













The contents page uses the same font as the front cover to link the two and to show they are the same magazine. There is a lot of white space in the background compared to existing publications such as Mizz magazine which has a lot going on on the page and the page is quite busy. There are also no blocks of coloured background like there is in the Mizz magazine.








Compared to the existing publication shown Top Of The Pops magazines my new publication there is a lot of White space and there aren't as many pictures as in the existing publication where the whole page is covered with images and captions. There is more text, but the text is split into little groups to make it easier for the reader to get into.
