Research - Magazine

I have chosen to analyse the magazine TV times as they are similar to my made up magazine called 'Context', they are known for their access to television actors and their programmes. On the front cover of TV Times, they usually have the main character or multiple characters from the show that they are talking about, like this:

I believe these are characters from Emmerdale and they use close up shots to show clearly who it is so fans of Emmerdale know immediately that it is Emmerdale. It's the same for other shows as well where they use close up shots of the actors or people in a show for their front cover to easily tell people what the majority of the magazine is about without having to read anything yet. On their front cover, red is used for the most important things like their logo "TV Times" and below which says "40 BIG autumn shows", red is a clear colour contrasting with the rest of the magazine, red is also used for a little box where it says "Exclusive preview" with yellow writing which contrasts well also. Behind the red sub title at the bottom is pictures linking to the subtitle to show a few of the 40 shows. However not all of TV Times magazines have multiple topics on the front cover, some of them have only one show and only talk about one show which is what I'm doing with my magazine front cover. 

TV Times is a British television listings magazine published by TI Media and it was first published in 1955. They have a subscription process where you can pick a subscription type and have them delivered to you.  TV Times is advertised on TV on advert breaks, on radio and websites.
