Name of my Magazine

I have decided to call my magazine 'New Era' because I was listening to a song called 'Dawning of a New Era' by The Specials.

New Era means to me that it will have new content and will be original.

Textual Analysis

First Car

The masthead of the magazine is in big sans-serif but it is also the biggest text on the page making it stand out. This appearance makes the magazine seem more aimed at people getting their first car at 17 or other ages.

An image of the cast from E4's 'The Inbetweeners' is on the front and in your face so you can't miss it. What it's trying to do is make the students to realize they have real life interviews from England's most famous T.V. students. Underneath the main titles and picture there is a short newsreel type of pictures and information to what the magazine actually includes.

The overall design for this Magazine is very informal with askew pictures, big fonts and not much information on the front. This is meant for over 16 that want a first car and they need to have information about insurance and Tax.
