Textual Analysis of 'Secondary Teachers Magazine' Front Cover

This is my denotation of 'Secondary Teachers Magazine' Front Cover

On the front cover of the magazine, there are three plugs on the top of the magazine. The plugs are in bold red font and bold pink font. The headline is in a greeny blue font the word 'Secondary' is in a bigger font than the words 'teachers'. The picture on the magazine is a boy sat at a table with a pen and a purple folder and paper. The boy is wearing a school uniform and has one hand on his desk and the other is up in the air. He is smiling at the camera. The picture is taken as if he is sat in a classroom. The plugs which are down the side of the magazine are in bold blue font, underneath this is more writing in a smaller bold black font. Towards the bottom of the cover there is a plug which is a bold pink font.
On the other side of the front cover, is the same style of magazine and plugs. But the plugs on this cover are in bold pink font whereas on the other cover these are blue. And also the plug towards the bottom of the magazine are blue instead of pink on the other cover. The picture is also different, this picture is the girl holding a pencil and sat at a desk. Once again the picture is taken as if she is sat in a classroom. This time the girl is looking to a side as if she is looking at the boy on the other cover.
The colours also represent the male and female side of the argument. On the cover with the girl, the writing is a bold pink font. On the cover with the boy, the writing is a bold blue font. It gives the covers a more masculine and feminine feel.
On the front cover the plug reads 'Do boys and girls learn differently?' The publishers have put a girl and boy on the front cover, so the cover is going to appeal to both boys and girls who will look at this cover and go to read the article. The audience for this magazine is clearly going to be teachers, the magazine may be placed in the staffroom so when teachers have any spare time, they may read magazine. The article is going to catch the target audience's eye as it is implying that both boys and girls learn differently, this is going to interest the teacher as they may be keen to know what the article says about boys and girls different learning styles.
