Textual Analysis (Student Work)

Clara Rodrigues

This cover is an A-level media, from a different school.We like this cover because it looks really professional, so the person doing this cover must of really took her/his time and knew what he/she was doing.We like this cover because on our brief we mentioned that we wanted the background plain or just one simple colour and that’s exactly what this person did.The blue tittle goes with the blue at the bottom of her dress, and all the other subtitles are different colours that go with the other colours of her dress.The tittle and subtitles stand out because they are bright colours, and bold writing.As for the girl in the cover, the way she’s posing is a quite common pose that you would find on a real magazine coverWhat she’s wearing is simple, but it looks nice and the fact that the writing goes with her dress.That’s what we want to do with our magazine, have a piece of clothing that goes with the writing.0.

This cover is also an A-level media, from a different school.We didn’t like this cover because it doesn’t look really organised, it looks like the person that did this cover didn’t take as much time and wasn’t that dedicated into making a cover as the person who did the cover above.The writing on cover is too big, and even though it stands out I think it stands out too much and is taking the attention away from the girl on the cover. Also the writing isn’t that clear because it’s too bold.The lay out of the writing isn’t very professional it just looks like the person just used power point and copied and pasted the words onto the cover.At the bottom of the cover it says “Swedish House Mafia Biggest Report Ever” the writing just doesn’t fit in with the rest of the words which are in red, it just looks out of place and it shouldn’t be there.We did like the fact that the background was plain, but we would of liked it more if she had a red piece of clothing to make the writing link with her.
