Front Cover LIIAR
L--- The shot of the character in the
image is a close up and is centre page. The character’s pose is like its
leaning on the edge of the magazine and is waving at the audience. This could
represent that the issue is a relaxed/laid back issue. Also, the bright gold/
yellow colour scheme on this particular issue as it is a special is to tell you
you’ve won ( as there was only a limited amount of this front cover printed),
so it has positive connotations.
I--- The Institution is the “Official Xbox magazine” as
shown by the logo and the title. They produce a monthly magazine which gives
information about Xbox game titles, and news about the industry.
I--- The ideology of this specific issue is to tell the
audience that they have exclusive news on a new game being released. There is a
second ideology held within this specific cover, which is to tell you that you
have won their competition by finding this specific special issue.
A--- The audience would stereotypically be males but could
also be targeted at some girls who game. The age group is 15 upwards shown by
the certificate. Also, as it is a
special issue, it could appeal to collectors as there were six different covers
for this issue. Furthermore the audience would also be people who are
interested in Xbox games or the gaming industry.
R--- The representation of this issue is majorly to make it
appear special. The usage of the plug to state that the buyer is a winner, the
small text that says “Exclusive Prize Winning Cover: Claptrap” and the usage of
the words “world exclusive” help to make the issue look special. The word
winner, and the golden style cover has connotations of being special, victory,
happiness-all positive connotations.
